Placing control values based on Label from other VI

[12345qwertt]

Hi,

    I have two independent VIs, VI-1 and VI-2. VI-2 has a number of controls and indicators and VI-1 needs to place the values in controls and get values from indicators from VI-2. But only thing that VI-1 knows is the label names of controls and indicators of VI-2. Is there a way to implement the logic for placing the values in controsl and get values from indicators based on label from other VI?

Yes that's easily possible, open a reference to the other VI and use an invoke node to get (or set) the values:

The only thing you need to make sure is that the datatypes match, and that you have access to the remote VI.
