exporting control names

I have created a control cluster with a series of string controls in it.

 

I would like to use the labels of each of the controls as a header for a file. Is there a property node or a method to extract this information?

 

I could unbundle by name, create an indicator for each item and get the text label property node for each item, but I was hoping for an automatic method so if I add/remove controls to the cluster, it will automatically extract/ignore the extra/deleted header .

the Controls[ ] property of a cluster gives you an array of it's contained controls' references.  you can also use the controls[ ] property of a VI's front panel to do the same thing for a whole VI.
