Hello I am doing a little research on references to front Panel Items. If you get an array of references to the controls (and Indicators) on the front panel you can get their label text out rather easily. The value however is held as a variant and can be extracted if you know the type.
Preliminary testing indicates that the "Type Desc" property is an array of 16 bit integers. The second column seems related to the type of the control. 16417 is boolean 16394 is numeric double 16387 is numeric i32 16434 is Path 15432 is a string. I do not like compiler archaeology. Does anyone have a better, perhaps even official, list, maybe even a program to scan the type desc Yours Sincerely John John Brohan National Instruments LabVIEW expert in Montreal Traders Micro "We connect all sorts of things to computers" 317 Barberry Place DDO Montreal PQ Canada H9G 1V3 Tel (514)995-3749 [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.TradersMicro.com/Index.htm
