Car Wash Indicators is the entire cluster.

 

Select an element of that cluster. Do this by simply clicking on the unbundle (text "Car Wash Indicators") it with your mouse.

 

Then if you resize it down, you get the next element.

 

If you resize it up, you get the previous element.

yeah but when i resize it down or up it's giving the boolean elements (aka in green). 

I'm trying to get the "cluster" (aka in pink) where when you drag up or down it's just repeating the "car wash indicators"

I hope i make sense

The bundle probably is a cluster with only Boolean elements. The Car Wash Indicator is the entire cluster, so the wire would be the entire thing.

 

I'm not entirely sure what your situation is...

 

In general, by clicking one of the elements, you can pick another one. 

 

The unbundle is a cluster with a cluster. So there you can pick the Car Wash Indicators cluster. If you unbundle that cluster, you get a cluster with only Booleans. So you can't pick the entire cluster, just the elements. The wire is the entire cluster, so you won't need a bundler.

Exactly! but based on a reference i'm using which is this .. It's like somehow they've managed to select all elements for the bundle or unbundle.

So.. me trying to implement it on my project doesn't seem to have any way of possibly doing it.. This bottom one is mine. As you can see i'm not able to create the bundle/unbundle with all elements selected. Hence, it's in green. My situation is that i'd like to select all elements (make it in the pink)

Their Main Cluster has a cluster in it. The clusters are nested.

 

The Car Wash Indicators is a cluster in the Main Cluster. So Car Wash Indicators cluster is an element in Main Cluster, and can be selected.

Damn isn't there a way i can uncluster their cluster to like reverse engineer? I'm a newbie so it's really hard to digest your explanation

1) Put a probe on their wire (Right click the wire, select Probe). 

2) On the wire, select create indicator, control or constant. Optionally copy\cut and paste where you want.

3) Hover over the wire, the help will show the type information.

4) From the probe, right click the control border, select "Copy Data" and paste in another VI.

Okay, but really one last doubt.. How come when i right click and unbundle/bundle by their car wash indicator cluster right.. it gives out the boolean lists like this. I mean yeah i get your point about cluster inside a cluster but even theirs doesn't show the pinkish unbundle/bundle by name ..

When I create an unbundle from a cluster in a cluster, I get the cluster as the first element.

 

Not sure how or why that's different in their application. This would probably be a 2 minute face to face conversation, but hard to do over text...

 

The screenshots seem to be from your application, where it's just the Booleans in a cluster? Not a cluster in a cluster?

 

Anyway, by clicking the (un)bundle element, you can pick any element. Of there is a cluster, you should be able to pick it to get the cluster as an element.
