GetControlIndexByName

[Fro2]

This should be very simple but I can not seem to find it.  Could someone please explian to me how to get the GetControlIndexByName method to appear.  I created an invove node for method and attached it to the VI Server Reference "This VI" but when I attempted to click on GetControlIndexByName it is not there.

It's a VI Method:

What version of LabVIEW are you using? I don't think the method is there in LV 2012 but it's there in 2013 as shown by the snippet above.

You might need to use the Front Panel.Controls[] property and read the labels until you find the one with the name you want.

I have 2014 AND 2015.  I figured it out.  Thanks!
