Getting the 'Style' of FP Controls

[JDave]

Does anyone know how to get at the 'style' of controls? For block diagram nodes this is a simple property. Controls seem to lack this property. This style is a string that corresponds to a ring control describing what kind of native object it is. Is there another way to generate it, maybe from the class ID?

Thanks in advance.

Controls are entirely different objects than Nodes. I don't think you have any more distinguishable properties for controls than the Class Name itself.

Couldn't help making a reply before I can't do it anymore :thumbdown: I am not upset but I am saddened. I hoped to learn a bit more and contribute my first scripting tool... Oh well.

In response, you can replace controls (Invoke Node - Replace) with the internal style. And if you do the standard 'replace' from the right click menu, the replace would be using the style. I wanted to use the style of an existing control.

Now I am on my own... :headbang:
