PROPERTY NODE

Thanks. Does it work only for menu refnum or all other icons from  refnums?

How do i pass just the boolean text in a boolean button to an array?

[altenbach]

You should probably start with a new thread instead of adding to one that is over three years old. You should also use more than one sentence to explain your problem. I assume you know how to get the boolean text, but I am mystified what you mean "passing" it into an array.

• What kind of array?
• Control, wire, or indicator?
• I assume you have an existing string array, so what is your definition of "pass"?
• Append to the array?
• Replace one array element with the new text?
• Place each character into a new array element?
• Apply the boolean text to an array of booleans?
• ???

Oh...cause when i type on the user search bar it showed me multiple threads that are related to my question therefore i just reply to it. Sorry about the confusion. what i meant by passing it into an array means that whenever i click on the button (true or False) , it will send the boolean text of that button and insert into a column in an array. it is just a normal array of 2 D. Indicator. Yes. i have an existing string of array and just want to insert the letters that the button has because the output of the button is just true and false but i want to send the text words.  Yes is to replace an array element with a new text and place each character into a new array element.

Well, things are still not much clearer. Instead of a property node, I would probably use a "select" node wired to the boolean and select between two string diagram constants.

 So you have a 2D array and want to replace an existing element with new text but place the characters into new elements??? You can't have both!

Could you attach a simplified version of your VI to make things more clear?

Anyway, here's a quick example (LV8.5) how you would append the boolean text to a 1D arry whenever the boolean changes. Maybe it can give yo some ideas.

thanks altenbach, i have solved the problem already. thank you very much. i used a property node and choose boolean text and then put it in a for loop and connect it to a insert into array and it works. by the way i was unable to open the vi u posted as i am using ver 8.0

Here's my version in 8.0.

Hi i have a property node of a vi inside a loop and i want to link it to a reference of another VI which is on the main block diagram. if the vi inside the loop is on the main block diagram i am able to just right click and select reference and link to the VI on the main block diagram. but since now it is inside a loop within a VI what should i do to connect it back to the VI on the main block diagram?? please advice thanks.

[altenbach]

Your image does not show any property nodes or references, so I am not sure what you are talking about.

I am also not sure what you mean by "main block diagram", do you mean the area outside the loop?

[Trig]

sorry i havent created the property nodes or references yet. i just want to connect the VI inside of a VI (subVI) nodes to the vi on the main block diagram. Yes,main block diagram is the area outside the loop.
