Useful VIs posted to DevZone for detecting controls of LVClass types

[Aristos Queue]

I have posted some utility VIs on DevZone for LabVIEW classes. These VIs allow you to identify whether a given control/indicator is of a given LabVIEW class. Any comments about these VIs, please make them on the DevZone page, not here.

You mean these?

Qualified Name Array To Single String.vi takes a VI's qualified name, given as an array of strings, and converts it to a single colon-delimited string. This VI may be useful for working with VIs owned by any library type, and it is used as a subVI of the other two VIs in this .zip file.

Is This Control Of This LabVIEW Class.vi takes a control refnum and a LabVIEW class refnum and tells whether the control is an instance of the given LabVIEW class. It returns true for regular class controls/indicators and for XControls of the class.

Is This Control Of LabVIEW Object Class.vi is the same as the previous, except it does not take a class refnum for input. LabVIEW Object is the built-in class that is the ancestor of all other LabVIEW classes, and this VI specifically checks to see if the given control is an instance of this class.

You know, if I wanted to maintain two copies of the VIs online, I probably would've said something like, "Please cross-post these VIs to a site other than ni.com, such as LAVA, so that if I make modifications I can have the joy of updating two forums instead of just one." For the record, I didn't say that.

Oh, by the way, there's a new version of the .zip file posted on ni.com (follow same link as my original post). I'll leave the cross-posting as an exercise for the reader.

I posted and cross posted a problem I'm seeing with the Get Control Data Type.vi
