Creating Property Nodes

[Michael Aivaliotis]

I'm trying to create a property node and then associate (link) it to a specific terminal or control. I can't seem to figure this out. Anyone have an idea? I'm using the New VI Object function which creates a default property node but I cannot seem to get further than that.

The "Control.Terminal" property is exposed in:

..\National Instruments\MAX\Assistants\LVCGen\LV70\mxwScript_ClusterConnector.vi

Use this to get the terminal reference and then wire it to the property node.

Here is how I do it (In that case it is linked to a Class Specifier Constant)

And, here's the VI.

Thanks for the code examples guys, it will help me in other areas, however what I really wanted was to create a (strict) property node to an existing control. This should not be wired to a reference but implicit. I'm afraid this is not possible with what we know, right?

How were you able to extract the "Control.Terminal" property from the VI you listed?

NI "patched" all these exposed properties in labview 7.1 installation. So you can re install labview 7.0... or download the attached file (original LV 7.0 NI MAX\Assistants\LVCGen\ folder).

Michael:

Did you ever figure this out? I would really like to be able to get a strict property node to a control in a VI from within a subVI *without* creating and passing in the control references from the top-level VI...
