From vi1 I would like to get and set the string values in vi2's ring.Aaron Update, By using the front panel and controls reference I can do value signaling to the other vi. But it does not seem I have access to all properties just some default properties. For example I do not see the strings[] property for this control using this method.Aaron

QUOTE(Ben @ Sep 11 2007, 02:40 PM) Sure, Lets say I have a ring control in one vi and I want to change the text in that ring or enum control from another. When I use the set or get control method, I would only get or set the index as that control is a number. I would like to update the text it displays which is a property of the control. Another example is if I have a boolean control in one vi I can get and set its value from another but that will not trigger an event case. I would have to use the property value signal. I need to know if there is a want to set the properties of a control instead of setting its value from another vi. Aaron

Hello All, I am using LabView 8.2 and am using the method control val. get and set a lot. This works great for getting and setting values of controls and indicators in other vi's. I was wondering if anyone knew a similar way to get and set properties of a control or indicator. Specifically I am wanting to trigger and event case in another vi (value signaling) as well as setting the string values in a ring control. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
