Is it possible to prorammatically move a control out of a case structre

[Seau1]

Hello, I have to programmatically move a control out of a case structure, when i try it, it makes the case structre bigger and keeps the control inside. Would be great if someone could help me fixing this, if it is possible. 

Here is a pic of my test vi blockdiagramm.

You need to change the owner of the item from the While structure to the Block diagram.

Thank you very much for the fast answer, sadly the Owner property is read-only, is there another way to change the owner?

You can delete the terminal and create a new one on the Top diagram, and in this case it'll be easy. If you have connected wires it'll be a mess though. Why are you doing this? 🙂

So: You cannot change owner from the same VI that runs, you must edit an inactive VI.

The function you missed is Invoke node - Move. That both moves and changes owner.

You also loose connectivity to the connector pane. This is really a lot of work to fix.

Then i found the Move-command. That solves a lot. 🙂

Yes, that should be marked as solution, IMO.

I had the CP problem when moving all diagram code into a structure.

Just curious - and you don't need to answer this - but what is the purpose of doing this programmatically?  It's just for my personal knowledge, in case I run into a similar situation.

Thanks!

Thank you very much for the help, I will try your solution as fast a possible. I need this because I have to fix a VI Generator which saves the controls and indicators inside of diagramms.
