I have come across a strange error while passing a custom typedef via shared variables in LV8.2.
It seems that if the custom control contains a 'path' variable within a cluster (and the path is NOT THE ONLY variable), writing to the shared variable produces a runtime "syntax error" that cannot be handled.
I have included a simple project that demonstrates this. There are two custom controls. Both are clusters containing a path. One has ONLY a path, the other has a path and a numeric. The control w/ ONLY a path seems to work fine went passed via shared variables. The control w/ path AND numeric produces syntax error.
It seems that paths are not really supported with shared variables, which is not too big of a deal considering strings work just fine. But, it is strange that a path in a cluster by itself works fine. Add something else to the cluster and you have problems.
Could someone at NI verify this and submit a bug report?
Thanks.. Off to fill my code with path->string conversions ...doh!
😉
