changing format of array numeric

[delbertson]

I would like to great a Sub-vi that has a Reference to a Strict type-def as an input and a display "mode" input so that I can click a radio button and change the display from Hex to Decimal and vice versa.  I know how to do this by writting to the format property node when it's statically linked, but I can't seem to get to it through the reference.

The left side of the attached vi demonstrats what I'm trying to achieve... the right hand side is as far as I've got so far.

Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Hi Derek,

the attached vi should do the trick... You have to be more specific to set the Format property of the array elements!

Excellent... thank you

I'd seen Element array, looked under it looking for the format property, but off course it'll just be a refnum at that point.... all makes sense now.

Thank you again.
