passing the connection ID

[Vayu]

hello again smile.gif,

yesterday i learned, how to pass parametres from a sub VI to the executing VI.

Now i am asking me, how i can pass a connection ID of a connection, which was setup in the subVI.

i thought, maybe i could convert the ID to a string or something, but I didnt find anything to do so.

Is there a way, to pass the conID to the executing VI?

Thanks in advance

put a 'TCP Network Connection Refnum' indicator on the subVI's front panel and wire it on the block diagram. Then wire it in the connector pane of the subVI as explained yesterday and you'll have access to the connID in the calling VI

my problem was, that i didn't find an indicator for the connID

but now i found out how to create one

right-click on the tunnel of the connID -> create indicator

now that i have an indicator for the ID I can wire it as explained yesterday

i was missing the word "indicator" in my first post here too sorry if it was hard to understand
