Which flag are you talking about ?

The closest I know is "EnableStrictTypedefConstantConfiguration", but this is about typedef'd constants on the diagram, which is different from strictly-typed constant refnums.

Out of curiosity, I have tried to merge the type code of a strictly-typed control refnum with the type code of a generic constant refnum, then using "Flattened String To Variant" and "VI.Create from Data Type" to create a chimaera data type that would hypothetically be a strictly-typed constant refnum, but without success. The additional type info added to the constant refnum is simply ignored =(

So sadly I think it is not possible…

I guess you want to set the class of the Affected Items of your plugin to a specific strictly-typed constant to avoid further filtering on the data type ? Is it a matter of performance for the plugin ?

I was wanting to do it just for cleaner block diagrams.

You have a lot more options under "GObject" than I do in my LabVIEW installation. Are you using an LabVIEW ini key?

Nothing wrong with that.
