Hover Effect Inconsistent in 64 Bit Versions of LV

Recommended Posts

A mouse over hover effect has become standard in most major software UIs. This effect allows users to interact with controls in a more intuitive way and gives users confidence that they are making the selection that they intend. However there is a long standing NI bug that renders the hover effect inconsistent (see the discussion here: https://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW/Button-Boolean-mouse-hover-not-working-on-64-Bit-LabVIEW/m-p/3944252#M1121887)

Until NI makes a fix one 'solution' that I will employ is to disable the hover effect with the controls that I am using so that users do not get confused by a control stuck in a hover state.

Note hover can be disabled programmatically, by writing to the last two elements of the "Colors[4]" property (note that if a button has hover colors, there will be actually 6 elements of this array)

  • 1 - FALSE
  • 2 - TRUE
  • 3 - Mouse Down when FALSE
  • 4 - Mouse Down when TRUE
  • 5 - Hovering when FALSE
  • 6 - Hovering when TRUE
