Invoke, property nodes

[IBAHKA]

Could someone please direct me to some reading material about Property nodes and Invoke nodes? I need a basic explanation of what where how and why! Thanks,
Ivanka

the easiest way is to go under help and select vi, function, how to help. THis will bring up a help window that will allow you to type in property node or invoke node and then display information about those items. They give a pretty good description on what each item is used for. Hope this helps.

Property nodes and invoke nodes let you access the more specific properties and methods of a control.

An easy way to think if this is properties nodes let you manipulate characteristics of a control like color, labels, and etc. and the actual properties change based control. Invoke nodes let you access possible actions of a specific control.

Due to the fact that properties and methods change based on the control, to do further research on the specifics on what is possible using these nodes, you must do control specific research which will discuss this specifically.

If there is something more I could clear up for you please let me know! Have a great day!

thanks, where can i find such material?

[IBAHKA]

Thanks!
Actually, could you help me with understanding a collegue's program. I do not understand what the Invoke Nodes (Run VI) do in the sequence structures. If you could explain that to me, I think I'll be able to understand their role better!
Thanks,
Ivanka

oops- I forgot to submit the program!

The context help for the specific control is honestly the best way to obtain information on the functions for property and invoke nodes. If you have any specific quesitons feel free to ask. Have a great day!
