X-Control Init & Facade: Parameter … has incorrect datatype

[ag-huber-luebeck]

I created a X-Control with a bunch of sliders. Nothing fancy, just parameters for a scanning waveform generator. The Data typedef is essentially just a cluster of the values of the sliders, and the State cluster contains just a copy of that data. The reason why I'm using an X-Control instead of a plain "Custom Control" is, that there's a few mutually exclusive options (waveform kind) set using a Tab Control with parameters specific to each waveform type inside the tab pages. Inside the Block Diagrams every matches up nicely. Yet in the Init and Facade abilities there's a whole bunch of "… has incorrect datatype" errors which prevent the X-Control from executing. Can anyone tell me, what the cause of that is? I appended the x-control as I currently have it to this post in 7zip format.

I can't open a .7z file.  Can you put it in a .zip?

Hi Paul,

7zip is free and most often much better than ZIP…

7zip is also better at creating plain zip files, but there is no reason to force anyone to install something just to open an archive. All modern OS's can deal with zip files directly so only that should be used in public. 😄

Tabs are typically enums. I am not sure why your's shows up as a ring instead.

Hi Christian,

there's a portable version of 7zip available.

(Even my company's IT department is installing 7zip by default...)

I have 7zip installed on all my computers too. I use it to open anything, but I still only create plain zip files with it. 😄 Posting a 7z file in a public forum immediately excludes a portion of the audience because additional steps (no matter how easy) are required. Not desirable.
