How do you format or force a format on a string control for an ip address? dot octal notation?

[ssaxton]

I am newish to labview and need to put some user formatting including making sure the user inputs dot octal notation for and ip address

I'd drop four numerics (I32) (u8)* and right-click choose Display Format >>> Octal.

For an IP address, I think it would be four U8 controls...

[nathand]

How about this IP address Xcontrol in the LAVA Code Repository?

[ssaxton]

I mean to say octet notation.

Also I want to keep a single string control...and just format it with xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

The XControl linked by nathand is about as close as you are going to get without writing it yourself.

If you're on Windows and feel like using a .NET control, you can use this.
