Is typedef?

[dgd.gomez]

Good afternoon

It is possible to know whether a reference belongs to typedef? if it is possible, you can get the path of the file that is linked?

Thank you very much

It is a scripting node, but the TypedefPath is available for a Control

In addition to the "TypeDef?" and "TypedefPath" scripting properties there is also a VI in the vi.lib:

vi.lib\Utility\VariantDataType\ContainsTypedef.vi

This is intended to be used on a complex data structure and will tell you if it contains a type def.

Thank you very much for the reply. But I find what he says, you can add an VI example?

I found another forum: http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW/Know-programmatically-if-a-control-is-a-typedef/td-p/1909897, but finds jcarmody options.

My version of LabVIEW is 12.0.f2

Thank you very much.

Hi, I keep trying to get the path but I can not. I found a link: http://lavag.org/topic/17702-strict-typedef-in-xnodes/ but I find the options palette XNode, in Propety Node. I am not able to find those options. No if someone can help me. Load the .vi example.

I'm new and I do not know where all things are, sorry.

 Thank you very much.

Do you have scripting enabled?  Go to your Tools >> Options, then the VI Server section and check the box "Show VI Scripting Functions"

Now your property nodes and invoke nodes will have a bunch of new methods.  Attached is a VI that uses those methods.
