I'm working on some scripting routines to parse the private data of a class and create not only accessors but also other accessory VIs for a class design I'm trying out. I have the accessor creation more or less worked out (scripting is great BTW) but I have an associated question. In order to be able to replace the existing wired-up class controls with "proper" ones, I simply use the "replace" function with the path to the class control file. But when trying the same thing with the actual data field for the accessors, I normally don't have Typedefs so how exactly do I replace them. In the IDE if I copy a control and then select the existing one and Paste, it gets replaced but programmatically, it adds a control instead.
How to achieve this without having to create a temporary typedef? I mean, creating a temporary Typedef works but maybe there's a trick I don't know about? Having to create a temporary Typedef seems like a lot of work for something so simple.
