read label subvi

[Lukestar]

Hello,

im trying to read the label of a subvi.

I created a subvi, lets call it example.vi. When i add this subvi it shows its label over the icon.

When i now double click this text, i can change it to, ... test1.

And this is what i need as a string variable, this labeltext.

Is it possible to "read" this text inside the subvi?

Thank for your help

Have you tried using a property node?

[Lukestar]

Hey Bill,

yes i tried the propertynode but i can only find the option to read the vi name (example.vi) not the specific name i gave the subvi 

after addig it to my program

I'm sorry - I completely misread your first post.  Let me go back and take another look at this issue...

Hey Bill,

no problem 😄

there could be an alternative solution:

when i could add a textfield (string) to the subvi, which i can read inside the subvi. 

i will test this now ...

I have to admit I've never thought about doing this before.  I thought you were refering to the label of an object inside the subVI, not the label of the subVI object on the main BD.  Hmmmm, it's not obvious to me.

The obvious alternative is to just pass the string into the subVI.  This would require adding another input the the subVI.

Is the subvi reentrant?

[Lukestar]

Hey,

sorry I am from Germany and I use a german version of LV.

I tried to translate "reentrant" with dict.leo but I could not find a translation whit that I could

give you the information.

can you describe what you mean.

Hallo Luke,

"reentrant" heißt in der deutschen Version "ablaufinvariant" (VI-Eigenschaften -> Ausführung).

(Falls es für dich einfacher ist: es gibt auch das deutschsprachige www.LabVIEWforum.de !)

Why do you need that label inside the subVI at all? When you need that label as a parameter inside the subVI you should make it a regular input to the subVI (as has been suggested before)!
