Hallo,
say I have a VI with some controls and indicators.
If I get the VI's panel refnum and then the Controls[] property I get the
array of references. But which array element belongs to which
control/indicator of the referenced VI. Is there a way to retrieve an array
or cluster with names
IMHO, scanning controls[] references for a control with a specific
name is absolutely natural solution and I don't see any good
alternatives. If you require to perform this operation frequently you
can always construct your own subvi, and this will be for sure really
handy.
And just to answer your question, the Controls[] property generates
the references in the 'Z' order of the controls on the panel.
So if you really wanted to, you could use the Move to Front, Move
to Back feature and set the order the the references will be
generated. Though I'm sure you'll find
