Get Array Element reference

[Nadav_Chernin]

Hi all,

There some problem with array property - Array Element. This property always get reference to active element of array, so you want to get in loop references of all array elements you can't do it by simple way.

I know some trick how to do it: by changing Array Property IndexValues you change Active Element. But the problem that this method change GUI.

My question is there another method to do it?

If I understand what you mean, you need to get the references of all the element of an array, correct ?

Why  ?
As far as I know, if you change a property of an element in an array, the same change will be applied to all the elements of the array, appart of course for the value .

Hi TiTou,

i need to operate with array of clusters and i don't know actually type of cluster, but i have some VI that get me all data about cluster, what values in each cluster element, what type,.... So i need to get reference of each array element for this VI

[TiTou]

Well... I think you have to go with the tip you described... getting the size, a for loop to set each element one by one... the problem is that this will be quite slow...

Sorry no idea on how to improve that...

Hi,

Take a look at the attached image (too big to imbed in the post) to get an idea on how to manipulate an array of cluster using references.

Titou is absolutely right about this method being sloooowwww

Hope this helps...

cheers

In fact, I was wondering if there was another method using OpenG Variant Lib...

But I´m not used to play with variant and I was expecting somebody more experienced to come up with a better idea.


That reminds me of the "escalate" button Ben was talking about in the breakpoint board 😉
