Creating a type def with more then one item

[wannabecontroller]

I cant seem to find an example of this.

I have seen in several programs where a type def has multiple things included in it

Perhaps a numeric constant and a string constant

How can i create this?

Thanks

The term you are looking for is a cluster, equivalent to a C struct more or less.

You create a type definition like this: https://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/371361R-01/lvhowto/creating_type_defs/

once you are in the control editor for the type definition, what you want to do is drop down a cluster control.

ctrl+f for "clusters" on this document for a video: https://www.ni.com/getting-started/labview-basics/data-structures

or in tutorial form: https://www.ni.com/tutorial/7571/en/
