The same type and red coercion dot

[Ljubo]

Hi!

A small project is attached to show how red coercion dot appears if you remove"lib type definition.ctl" from library to a virtual folder. It is interesting that this affects only class property nodes. It does not affect class accessors ("setters") and indicators. The same happens if you move "type definition.ctl" from virtual folder to the library.

Picture shows changes in "vi in library.vi" block diagram.

The application works but a peaceful bad feeling remains ...

There are discussions on this NI forum about typdef controls. It seems that using type definitions can cause serious problems if used together with property nodes. What would be suggested in these cases?

Regards,

Ljubo.

I can't unfortunately look at your code right now, but there are a couple points to be made:

1. I'm not sure the problem you show is a bug. Moving the control file out of the library and into a virtual folder in the project changes the type definition because it has a different name.
2. LV does at times show spurious coersion dots, but I have never seen it cause a functional problem - let alone a serious one.
