Can I link a property node to a group of controls

[Terry Mann]

I want to adjust the position of a number of controls and indicators during run-time.

By grouping the items, they can be moved manually during programming, but is it possible to link a property node to the group rather than the individual controls to save programming?

Hello Terry.

I would propose to setup a loop of all controls of your VI and operating on those that you want to move.

Best regards, Guenter

Besides what Guenter suggests, you can create a reference for each control you want to move, group them in an array and treat them in a for loop as in Guenter's example.
It's easier if they are not too much.

I am not very experienced with these discussion forums. I have tried a number of times to reply, but it doesn't seem to go through.

I hope that both you and Guenter receive my thanks for your help.

I had a feeling that both your methods would be the only way to achieve what I was trying to do. Perhaps NI will adopt a method in future releases of LabVIEW.

Again, many thanks to you both.

Terry
