How to check if two or more controls/indicators have the same name/label in LabView?

[Ian_Ren]

LabView does not show any rror if I name two controls with exactly the same name. It can be confusing. I am using LabView 6.1.

Some people like the fact that you can name things the same. Some even want to be able to have two VIs with the same name in memory at the same time. (Scoping rules to follow in future LabVIEWs.) You can write a small program that lists out the names of all the controls and indicators in a VI using the VI server property nodes. Oh, OK I'll give you an example. (See attached)
