I certainly don't consider this a bug. By writing a new string to the terminal you pass COMPLETELY new data to it so there is no reason for the control to maintain color attributes at specific positions. That the data happens to be the same as before with some extra information appended is something the control can't know and in reality shouldn't even try to bother about. I guess what you want to have is a string control with a chart graph behaviour. Highly special and not yet in LabVIEW available as a native control. Maybe by submitting a wishlist item you could get it for LabVIEW 8.0 or 9.0 ;-) Rolf Kalbermatter CIT Engineering Nederland BV tel: +31 (070) 415 9190 Treubstraat 7H fax: +31 (070) 415 9191 2288 EG Rijswijk http://www.citengineering.com Netherlands mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
