Descriptive vi reference name for use in a cluster

[dblk22vball]

I am looking to initialize my program, and load some vi references into the "master cluster" (JKI State Machine) that I will be using regularly for different tasks (unloading/loading subpanels, control values, etc).

Now I am using the Get VI reference vi, to get the reference. But when you go to unbundle the name is just vi reference. So if I have 5 references, I have to remember the order that I inserted each reference.

Is there a way to assign a name, like you would when you change a label on a control or have a reference to a control, so I could have Type Reference instead of just vi reference.

My thought was that it would be less cluttered and less execution time to not have to open a reference and close each time I wanted to do something. But maybe that is the fastest way....

In the picture, Settings is a control reference to a tree control named Settings. All of the vi references refer to different vis.

Hi Kenny,

You can initialize the bundle with empty constant VI refs and then overwrite the bundled data.
