Determining whether a typed reference is a Notifier or a Queue

[Intaris]

I am trying to create some code to parse a cluster control reference, detect notifiers and create VIs for "sending" the appropriate notifiers.

When I parse the cluster, I see that all Notifiers are listed as "TypedRefnum". I can access the "Element" of the reference which then gives me the datatype, but how do I differentiate between a Queue of that datatype or a Notifier of that datatype. Even the ClassID is the same.

Do I need to parse the "Value" of the cluster as opposed to a VI Server parsing?

I think you would have to get the "value" of the reference (which the actual queue or notifier reference), then inspect it.

Wait, "Get Refnum Information"? Where is that?

Ah, found it. Wow. Never knew that palette existed. Well, that's the rest of my day sorted....

Think its one that used to be in the hidden gems back in the day (2010?), now in the variant palette.
