Cursor Legend Tab Control BUG

Question

Attached is a VI illustrating a bug with the Cursor Legend when graphs are in tab controls. If you enter in a number in the "Cursor X position to move to", then switch pages on the tab control, you'll notice the cursor has moved to the appropriate place, BUT the cursor legend has not changed to reflect that. Once you manually move it, it updates.
In short, if the cursor position changes programmatically, the cursor legend will update ONLY IF THE XY GRAPH IS VISIBLE, even though the cursor position DOES change.  
I hope someone from NI will see this post and add it to the bug list (if not already there??). If anyone knows a work around, that would be appreciated also.

Answer 1

Good idea. It doesn't work exactlly, but gave me the idea for how to work around. It appears even if you have a tab value change event doing the same thing the Cursor X Position numeric indicator value change event, the cursor legend X value will not change. You can even try entering the same value in the indicator and pressing return after switching tabs, the cursor legend will not update. It thinks for some reason it is on the correct index. I made a Tab Value change event that first moves the cursor to the next index, then moves the cursor back to the correct index. Ugly but works. Hopefully in the next ver of LV they will have fixed a lot of these cursor bugs; there is definitely some work to be done (i.e. fixing cursor X position for XY graphs, an extremelly annoying bug)
