Converting a local variable to VI Server Reference programatically?

[dave_vic_ozz1]

Hi forum,

I want to convert a local variable to VI Server Reference programatically. Is that possible?

i.e. a have a list of local variables and I want to read the label of the variable so the CSV file (s/w not shown) has the correct headings linked to the local variable.

The attached vi will get all the objects on the block diagram, and if an object is a Local Variable, it will save the label text to a string array.

IT is saved in LV 2014.

I agree with this format, however it seems that you must use the Control Name property instead of the Label Text property. It looks like local variable always have a default, unchangeable label that is the same as the name of the VI they are running in.

Thanks for the feedback.

I had planned on making the code in my picture a VI. Would the attributes of the local variables be passed into the embedded VI or would I just see it's value?

I meant to say SubVI. 🙂
