Accessing the Value of a Control via Property Node fails to return Controls Name

When i trie to access a cluster control i sometimes dont get the control name
returned using the value property node.
When i flatten the control directly i always get the control name back.
See attached vi.

Hi Hacky,

 

I noticed your work in helping Jack in the other thread so went looking for what else you have done when I stumbled across this Q.

 

It had me going for a couple of minutes.

1) You did not include the ctl in question. I skipped it and disconnected.

2) If you go to the wiring tool and open the help window and float over the wires you will see you data type info is in the wire read from the control, but not from the property node >>> value.

3) I started looking closer at the property node and noticed it was black. This struck me as very odd and had to duplicate your orignal cluster one element at a time until I came to the button labled "imputs". When I moved that boolean into the cluster the property node turned black. I changed the mechanical action on that control and no more blakc property node and now the data is coming out knows what type of data is in the wire.

So....

A) Change your mechanical action.

B) Thank you for helping out in that other thread. Fell free to help out here any time you find the time!
