Switching from Digital to analog pins

Is it possible to initialize the functions of the pins on the my rio from a Digital Output to a Analog input? The problem i am facing is such that I have a wire (From a 4 wire resisitive touch screen) that I will be connecting to the myRio. The wire requires a voltage input from the my rio during one instant and on the next instant, the same wire will output a signal into the an Analog pin. Is this possible?

The IO are for specific purposes.  There is a huge difference in hardware between an Analog Input and an Analog Output.  But perhaps you could just wire to both an Analog Input and and Analog Output.  I would put in a buffer/relay so that you can "turn off" the analog output to avoid any collisions between the device and your analog output.
