How can I run a XControl without wire Input/Output?

[MFGC]

Hello!

I'm trying to developped some XControls. I want that these XControls run automatically without to wire him an Input/ooutput. I tried to do this, but the XControl only executes once, and then never entry again. I think that it is possible to do this because the XControl input/output is not required.

Thank you in advance.

Hello,

a control always has an input/output. The XControl works by itself, it depends if the Xcontrol is in (for example) a while loop to update his values. There's a good example in the NI Example Finder called "Simple Dual Mode Thermometer XControl.lvproj. Maybe you can send me an example from your application, so i can see what you want to do.

Hello!

Ok, thank you. The problem is... I want to create some controls to ease the development of SCADAs. The idea is create some XControls, and when I place them in the SCADA Front Panel create a pop-up to insert the configuration (I did this part and it works well, the information is about the dispositif to connect...). And then, I don't want to wire anything to the XControl; because this application is for other persons can to develop the SCADA without knowledge of LabVIEW. The application that I have is not a good because I haven't used correctly the XControl to try to solve this requirement. I shold think in another solution, but... maybe... I can take the input of this XControl programmatically?

Thanks again. Cheers
