Put NI_report.lvclass into a cluster

[Eric1977]

I'm having a difficult time with trying to add a NI_report.lvclass to my cluster.

In my VI, I use the New Report.vi along with the Save Report to File.vi to generate some reports and then add data to the report as needed later on. Instead of using local variables to accomplish my task, I would like to place this (Raw Dara Report Indicator and the Summary Report Indicator) into my cluster for easy reference later. How do I do that?

My vi is attached, minus the sub vis which are not needed.

You can drag a control or indicator into a cluster like you would any other. What is the problem you are seeing?

Mike...

I actually tried to do that. When I drag the indicator to the control, my mouse icon changes stating that I can't do it. I have my cluster defined as a type def.

[mikeporter]

Oh, well you need to open the typedef and install it in the typedef - as you would any other control or indicator.

Mike.

Found the issue. I was trying to drag items from the block diagram over to the type def cluster, which apparently isn't allowed.

Yeah, you kind of need a control object or an indicator object not a terminal object It does make sense in some ways.
