Control's label/caption passed from calling vi

I would like a way to pass the control name and data to a subvi so the subvi control names are overwritten. I want the subvi to take each name from the calling program and make a text header using the calling names (not the subvi control names). The files I've attached aren't exactly what I want, but may give the general idea of what I want to accomplish. I would like to NOT pass anything other than the control into the subvi (as I have currently have it, if possible). If this question is not clear, please let me know.
-Thanks in advance.

You cannot change the label of a control during runtime. This is why LabVIEW incorporates Captions.

I will take a look at your VIs later (when I turn on my workstation) and look at your implementation to see if I can offer any further advice. I used a method similar to this to pass data to indicators and sent a string to the caption to adjust the display to indicate the "label" of the value.
