How to automatically get element information of any Frontpanel element @cluster in cluster

[johnnrr]

I have a complex cluster, containing numerics, strings, bools, arrays and even another clusters.

If I change element values in frontpanel, I need an event case that gives me the reference or information of the changed element to show name and new value. (Kind of event logger)

I tried to compare with "unequal" old and new value in event case. This gives me an array of bools. I can compare that with my elements[]. That works.

But what if I have a cluster in cluster? Any ideas?

That's not quite right.  When I set up a cluster within a cluster, the result of the comparison is a cluster in a cluster structure where the various elements compared (numerics, strings, ....) are show up as booleans.  It is the same hierarchy as the original cluster, not an array of booleans.

Thanks for your answer.

I know, thats my point. If I had only a simple cluster, I could convert the result of the comparison to an array of bools and walk through the elements.

But how can I do that, if I have cluster in a cluster?

You could try iterating through the cluster to find booleans. If you find a nested cluster then call the VI recursively. The array implementation needs work though.

Search the VIPM for OpenG toolkit to get the SubVIs.
