Jürgen,

you can create a class specifier constant and then use the "Type" property to assign it to the right class. Use the "Class Name" property of the control to assign the type.

I woudn't use the control refnum to create the constant directly.

OK, you need a Strict Typed reference...

You need to create a control reference and from its terminal, change it to a constant... then delete the surplus control reference.

You'll have to add the created constant to your cluster... but that's not your question.

Hello,

I have a similar problem using VI Scripting. I use it to automatically generate templates containing subVIs and Type Def by copying them from a template source (Task(x).vi will be replaced with PXI6232.vi for instance).

It works fine but I still have a problem with Reference Constant linked to Control, which is linked to a TypeDef. When I start my Scripting.vi, the control will be correctly relinked but the RefConstant will be deleted as shown in the Snippet.

How can I relink the RefConstant to its Control and avoiding its suppression?

Thanks,

Laurent
