Same child name for different parent in tree control

[RJ_15]

Hi,

I don't understand, why LabVIEW won't allow same tag names even though entered under different parent tags

Can I overcome this problem without changing the child tags ?

LabVIEW - 2012 SP1

Because the tag is the unique identifier of the element. What's the problem with having unique tags?

I can have unique tags for parent. But not necessarily for a child of different parent.

Let s consider a scenario, where am executing a series of tests and within that subtests.

So am populating these tests with the list of available subtests. Now for 2 diff tests, I can have same subtest might be with different test parameters. But overall the test remains the same and hence the name.

So I need the flexibility to have same subtest name under different tests !!

ItemTag has to be unique

ItemName can be the same

You can name your children like this:

Set ItemName = ChildrenName

Set ItemTag = ParentName:ChildrenName

As you said, your parent names are unique, so you can use that name to set unique itemtags for your children.
