Update cluster in subVI

[hiNI]

Hello,

In the attached VI1, I am trying to pass the cluster from VI1 to VI2, but the cluster elements doesn't update.  Can you offer some insights as to how I can go about updating the cluster from VI1 input to VI2?

Thanks,

hiNi

It works for me.

The values are being updated, but not the listbox contents.  Since the contents is a GUI thing and has little to do with the data, those are not contained in the data on the wire.

What exactly are you trying to do here?  Perhaps a cluster of listboxes is not the way you should be going with this.

Hello again,

I am trying to use the contents of the list box for later programming.  As you can see in the updated llb file for VI2, if I take Layer 2 out of the cluster, the Item names do not reflect the names that are input from VI1.

As I change the contents (i.e. Item names, Colum header names etc.) from VI1, I want those changes to take effect in VI2.

Thanks,

hiNi.

You could pass a reference to the cluster from VI1 to VI2.  VI2 would then access the Controls[] Property, index out each element, typedef it using a ListBox reference and then access the listbox Column Header and Item Names.  See the attached changes.
