Subject: Complete list of LabVIEW Options

I am still not able to stop drop thru clicks from showing up in LV but it has led to some interesting poking around with resedit. I was told by tech support that it is not an option but what was a bit disturbing was that I could not get a complete list of preference options. I was told that this *may* be part of LV 6.0. Sheesh.

So, with my usual approach I compiled a *complete* list of LV options for version 5.1. I provide it here as a gift to the LV community. These are the possible strings that can appear in the LabVIEW preferences file (or .ini file for those who are 8.3 limited). Some of them are obvious as to what they control and what arguments they take. Others are a bit obscure. The "xxxxx" option for example is not chosen for its natural associations.

Some of these are set by the normal preferences dialogs and some are for specific platforms. Others can only be set by the preferences file (the masscomplog for example). Someone else can start documenting the values that each option can take and/or its function. I hope I don't have too many typos in this list. The order of the list was the order in the LV resource and probably the order they show up in the preferences file.

I will try to put this list up on my web page along with the email archive search engine that is there.

Isn't resedit wonderful?

BTW what the heck are "exoticcontrols"?
