This is a named unbundler for clusters; but instead of taking in a cluster value and outputting element values, it takes in a reference to a cluster and outputs references to elements. Sadly, it can't handle a cluster containing a latching boolean. Unbundle Refs By Name_xnode 1_0_0_1.zip

Can you send me the entire Y Control?

Quite a few changes: Cleanup, bug fixes, and kludges to workaround a bug in LV 2018 and earlier (but the installer is smart enough not to include the kludges when installed with LV 2019 +). If you've made any Y Controls with the prev version, you'll need to remake them. Y Controls Version 1.0.0.3 Source.zip Y Controls Support Version 1.0.0.3 Installer.zip

Here's another one: If the owning VI is set to run when opened, it will start running before the Y Control finishes initializing. (I might have to do some major surgery to resolve this.)

Is anyone else running into bugs? This one is driving me nuts: If the owning VI is a member of a library, and the library is open, then the event handler usually doesn't launch.

Perhaps this is the problem: When changes are made to LV help, they don't take effect until LV is restarted, I'll improve the completion dialog for the installer.

Is the installer creating "C:\ ... National Instruments\LabVIEW nnnn\help\Y Control\Y Controls.chm" for you?

Uninstall deletes "C:\ ... National Instruments\LabVIEW nnnn\resource\plugins\Y Control\*", "C:\ ... National Instruments\LabVIEW nnnn\help\Y Control\Y Controls.chm", and removes the Y Control from "C:\ ... National Instruments\LabVIEW nnnn\resource\plugins\NewDialogFiles\ LVNewDialog.xml". Is the installer creating "C:\ ... National Instruments\LabVIEW nnnn\help\Y Control\Y Controls.chm" for you? Y Controls.chm

There were some missing dependencies in the source zip. I also renamed a library to make name collisions less likely. Y Controls Support Version 1.0.0.2 Installer.zip Y Controls Version 1.0.0.2 Source.zip

Perhaps you might find this useful. Update File_New.zip

That issue has been corrected (see attached files). However it won't fix already-created Y Controls. To fix them, make sure that Facade.ctl and the .yctl file are set as "TypeDef" and not "Strict TypeDef" Other improvements: The installer and uninstaller will ignore RO status of an existing installation of Y Controls. The wizard fixes up the label of the cluster in the .yctl file. Y Controls Support Version 1.0.0.1 Installer.zip Y Controls Version 1.0.0.1 Source.zip

I've made some minor improvements. Is anyone interested?

Unzip the installer, read the READ ME, run the installer, read the help (LabVIEW -> Menu -> Help -> Y Controls). If you're curious, look in the source. Y Controls Support Version 1.0.0.1 Installer.zip Y Controls Version 1.0.0.1 Source.zip

I managed to post the issue there, but it's very cumbersome because I only get one post per password reset (and their Contact Us link is broken). I did get a reply and was able to solve that problem, but now it throws error 1357. Maybe it's time to throw in the towel on VIPM.

Gee, I put all my ideas into Y Controls. Attached is my help file (still under construction) for Y Controls. Y Controls.chm
