Shared Variables 2010 now support Type Def Linking

[jgcode]

In LabVIEW 2010 if I now link a Type-Def to a Shared Variable, the linking is persistent on the Control updates

This is a feature I have been looking forward to for a while.

I didn't know it made it in until I just tested it then, so I'd thought I'd share.

This is going to save a lot of time.

Thanks NI

Cheers

That's one we had asked for, too! Thanks for pointing it out! It is indeed an important improvement!

It is indeed an important improvement!

Tell me about it

This will translate into other areas too - for example in LV2009 a Shared Variable API Refnum will also break when linked to a typedef, and the type-def is updated.
