How can I access a control's description and data range information from within LabVIEW 6.1 or 7.0?

I didn't see an obvious way of accomplishing this. Is this possible?

Properties Data Range and Description. Data Range is a cluster with minimum, maximum, and increment. Description is a string. The properties exist in both 6.1 and 7.0.

Right click on the Control and navigate to Create>Property Node. Now on the newly created node, right click on it where it says Visible and navigate to Properties>Description. This will output a string of the controls description. Now grow the node by right clicking and selecting Add Element. On on the property, right click and navigate to Properties>Data Range>All Elements. This will generate a cluster with all the range info.

Using the Abort button to stop your VI is like using a tree to stop your car. It works, but there may be consequences.
