.... That may not be of any concern if you plan to write one single application, but I write on average at least half a dozen or more LabVIEW applications a year, which tend to contain several subpanels with various functionality, and then reuse of software components definitely is a concern.
Therein is the big difference.
MOST of my projects start with "Terms and Conditions" explicitly ruling out re-use and demanding exclusive rights to the software.
I have developed code that used sub-panels to disconnect the top-level VI from the implementation but that requires my "reader" be more than just LV I & II trained.
Thank you for your insight!

I actually got the "refs in a cluster" idea from the LabVIEW Style Book and I've been doing it ever since.

Tja, I can load that VI but it shows no control refnums on the front panel. Right clicking on the upper refnum constant and selecting "Create Indicator" creates a proper refnum on the front panel. Doing the same on the lower refnum constant does ... absolutely nothing!
