Identify typedef

[Vasanth]

Is there a way to identify typedef as strict or just plain typedef programatically? I could not find a thread on this in forums.

Only idea I have: Try to change a property that you cannot change for a strict typedef. If you get an error, it is a strict typedef. If it is not, you can change the property's value back to the value it had before the change.

I think that no common property exists that you can use for this. This prevents you from doing it the generic way.

Does anyone have a better idea?

Use the node in the attached .vi

Thank you both for your help. My next question in the same line is

Can we dynamically open a strict typedef cluster and save it to typedef
cluster?

It's the same as looking to see what type the control is, you just write to the property node instead of reading it.  Open a VI reference to the control, use the property node CtrlVIType and wire in a constant of typedef to it.  Just like the VI I have attached.

Brian,

          This is the one I have been looking for. Thank you so much 🙂

Nick,

Is it a Private property, I mean, NOT available in LV 7.1 ?

Please clarify me...
