Get the name of each element in my cluster in a 1D array (of 9 elements)

Hello guys,
I want get the names of each element in my cluster in a 1D array (of 9 element).
How I do that please?
Thanks you in advance.

You can use property nodes of the cluster

it will generate an array of references of all the elements of the cluster, running on a for loop you can get the name of each reference.

If you don't want to use property nodes:

Note that the variants contain the labels (and data and data types). If you need the data and the labels, you can simply use the 1D array of variant, and get the labels when needed.

That is "NI_Data Type.lvlib:Get Type Information.vi" btw.

Just for completeness (as the question has already been answered):

For more general cases when your cluster elements can have any type, you can also get their data type with "Get Cluster Information.vi" from the Data Type Parsing palette. Unlike the "Variant to Data" method, it does not unwrap the value contained inside variants:

For even more completeness, I've used this vi sometimes to get the references to controls in nested clusters. You can then use the method of @LVninja to get the control labels.
