XControl inside a Type Def doesn't work

[jaegen]

It appears that an XControl inside a cluster type def never fires the "Data Change" event.

The attached VI uses the demo thermometer XControl inside the attached type def. When I run the VI as it is, nothing happens. If I right-click on the cluster and disconnect it from the type def, the temperature rises as expected.

Is this a bug?

Yes, a work around could be setting the 'Data' ability to include the Typedef.

I even think this is a better way.

Except that I actually want to use multiple instances of an XControl inside a cluster typedef (along with other stuff) - the VI I attached was just a demo.

Hi,

Perhaps the bug is that LabVIEW allow you to place XControl in a cluster.

Like it's says in the WIKI, XControls (like subpanels) cannot be placed in an array... Subpanels cannot be placed in cluster as well...

But, I know how it's frustrating to cannot do it...
