Variant as Input VI terminal

[saintalan94]

Hi fellow developers,

I want to ask if anyone knows how to connect a variant as a connector terminal for my SubVI? I can't find a variant control at the moment.

I have used variant to data and unflatten to string and no Refnum for my SubVI.

Can anyone enlighten me? 

Thanks,

Alan.

Under the Variant and Class Palette on the modern control palette.

At times when I'm not able to locate any specific control/indicator, I prefer to right click the function block (node) on the block diagram and select 'Create' >> 'Control' (or 'Indicator')...

There's also the option of QuickDrop - CTRL-space on the front panel and type what you're after. The downside is that it doesn't teach you where it is on the palettes.

That's what the Search button in the pallets is for.
