win32com method to GET control's value

[THunter]

Hello,

I'm familiar with the procedure of how to set a control value in LabView with win32com.

import win32com.client

labview = win32com.client.Dispatch("LabView.Application")
VI = labview.getvireference(r'c:\Users\path\to\my\vi\something.vi')
VI.setcontrolValue('setx','0')

 But how do I read out that value?

Someone? 😕

I found the solution:

VI.getcontrolvalue('name of the control')

The naming is not consistent, because when I have to set a control value, its with a capital 'V', but when reading it, its with a small 'v', that is what caused the problem..

I hope this will save some time to whoever reads this.
