XControls data types pointing to existing custom controls ...

Status: Declined

National Instruments will not be implementing this idea. There is no further feature development planned for XControls.

The "data" control of a XControl cannot be linked directly to an existing control typedef ... It can only contain it ! (You have to include your existing cluster in the data cluster.)

 

The problem is that when you want to access the value property of the XControl, you always have to bundle or unbundle it ...

 

It would be nice to be able to create a XControl data, as a link to an existing Control typedef.

 

I hope i am clear ?

 

I know a solution of my problem  could be to create my typedef as the data of the XControl ... but in this case i cannot create many different XControls for a unique data type !

And i don't think that linking datatype to dataview is very smart ! ( It is not MVC compliant ! )
