Transfer a 2D array data included the cell color into subVI

[lolkc2]

I'm trying to transfer a 2D array data which some of the cell is colored from my main program to my subVI. However, I figured out that only the data is transferred into the table control in my subVI and the cell color is not transferred. Is that I have to color the cell again in my subVI or there are some ways that can make my cell in subVI color as the cell that is colored in my main program?

Transfer that configuration data to the subVI too and modify that table to look like the I other one. The thing to rember is that LabVIEW make a strong distinction between the data and the way that data is displayed.

That's mean I have to recolor the cell in the subVI Table Control that I already colored in the main program?

Of course. You have two separate tables. The formatting is a property of the table and not of the data.

Because that I let my local variable of my table control in my main program to be the input of my subVI, I think that with this the properties will be also transfer to the new table control in my subVI. If cannot then recolor should be the only way. Thanks ya.

No it won't. Local variable only transfer data. If you pass a control reference, that would pass everything, but you still have to write the appropriate code to copy the properties from one table to the other.
