VI Scripting: CaseStructure, case insensitive match property/method?

[sgregor249]

Hi all,

I am trying to programatically set a case structure with a string selector to be case insensitive. I know that this is possible at edit time by right clicking on the case structure and then clicking "Case Insensitive Match". I am wondering if anyone knows of a scripting property/method to do this. I am skeptical that this exists because it seems that there is no way to cast the CaseSelector GObject to be selector type dependent.

I believe that questions related to scripting are intended to be posted in the LabVIEW APIs Discussion Board.

Thank you smercutio! To my limited understanding this property is not exposed to the public and a CAR has been filed.

Instead of opening a new topic for small question I'm just gonna ask this here; why do I sometimes see screenshots of other peoples code with blue property/invoke nodes? Is this GOOP related?

They're using the hidden properties that are exposed by using a couple of special LabVIEW.ini keys, as discussed on the scripting forum over at LAVA.

WHAT? don't just link 'em

No wonder the LAVA forum is "offline until further notice"

Huh?

I know about the keys to enable scripting in 7.1, but I think that the blue VI server nodes are someting different. An NI employee has refered to them as private functionality. I seached these forums and saw that the code capture tool from LAVA uses this. LAVA has been down for a few days so I'll look into this later on.

There are 2 different keys. Those keys provide access to scripting and the private nodes which are blue. I did not mention the keys because it's not supposed to be common knowledge. I mentioned the site where the information can be found, which is a bit of a narrow line.
