How to programatically save actual values from frontpanel

[MichaGue_01]

Hello NG,

by clicking "actual values as standard" (or similar, becaus I use the german version) in the frontpanel menu "execute" (or similar) it is possible to set the actual frontpanel settings a standard values. Is it possible to do the same programatically? If yes, would this also work in a compiled exe running with the runtime engine?

Thanks a lot and best regards,
Michael

It is possible. There is a VI Class method of the same name (in english it's Make Current Values Default) which you can call using an invoke node. It can only work when the VI is in edit mode, so you have to open a reference from another VI to run it.

In addition, it won't work in an EXE.

Another option is to save the values and load them on your own. OpenG's file toolkit includes VIs which do this.
