On demand Save and Recall Control Values, Elegant solution

I have a developed a sub-VI that will gather ALL of the information (metadata) for each Control save it to a file to be retrieved later.  This is very useful to recall user-specific layouts after a power outtage, for transfer to another machine etc...  Could be easily modified to recall a default setting file as well.  NOTE: cannot save or recall Boolean Latch data.

Hope this is handy.  Let me know what you think...

Thanks

Dan

The LabVIEW Idea exchange is to propose and vote for ideas to be implemented in future LabVIEW versions. Are you expecting NI to implement something similar in the future? If you are just showcasing a programming example, the LabVIEW forum might be a better place. Please clarify.

I can't look at your VI as it's in LV2014 and I only have 2013 installed but it's worth mentioning that the MGI toolkit has a VI for "Save Front Panel Data" and "Restore Front Panel Data" which saves control/indicator data to an INI file.
