Access global variables programatically

[Anders Björk]

Is it possible to programatically access indicators and controls in global variables?

In customers a project I have a global variable that contains "fields" like

ChannelAUpdated

ChannelBUpdated

ChannelACorrected

ChannelBCorrected

Is there a way to build a string for the global I want to access and process that string with my argument?

Or do I need to build separate cases for the same operations.

Using the VI Server/Application Control functions you can access control/indicators on any VI using their name as a reference. You do have to use the Variant data type to handle different data types.

Thanks, I have tried and inspected the VI you sent. I will test to implement this idea later in the week.
