Hi Glenn,
It is my understanding that the Node "Reinit to Dflt" applies to every controls/indicator in the panel. In the past, my approach was to get the value of the controls/indicators I do not want to reset (usually in variant or flatten string), then reset everything then put back the cached value I did not want to reset in the first place. Of course I did never had 50 of them !.
I now try to avoid using "Reinit to Dflt" if possible.

I have a VI with 100 controls that the user can manipulate. Then there are
around 50 indicators and controls that display calculations or are used for
house-keeping (some will eventually be made invisible when I finish the VI).
So I have a button called "Restore Defaults". When the user clicks it, I get
the VI Property "Panel" (panel's reference #) and I feed that to Pnl
Property "Controls" which I feed to a For Loop with an Invoke Node "Reinit
to Dflt" inside. Unfortunately, this restores the values to the defaults for
all controls and indicators. So I thought I would make an array of the
references of the 50 indicators & controls that I didn't want to restore and
just check inside the For Loop if the control in question should be restored
or not. But still, all 150 values are restored.
What is the best way to do this? Make an array of all the controls I *do*
want to restore? For some reason, the Build Array node has coercion dots
where the reference comes into it.
