Create a control from a non-reference

Remark: This example is using the numerical-double-data-type but it is valid for all other data-types, too. I'm using LabView 2011SP1 (german)

 

Creating a reference from a numerical-control is not new and very easy to do via the context menu. But I'm missing a similar function to create a double-control from a double-reference / double-reference-control.

This would be very helpful especially when there is a VI that requires a reference to a special data type as input and you need to create a control of exactly this datatype.

 

As already suggested in an other idea here in this board it would also be helpful to have a context menu entry that allows to create a reference control from a numerical control without make the detour with a reference in the block diagram.
