distinguishing between controls and indicators

Hello to all,

In 6i it is possible to get a list of "controls" associated with a
particular front panel via a vi "property" however this list seems to return
the controls and indicators in the same list. I need some help figuring out
how to distinguish the "controls" from the "indicators".

Also, it would be great if it were possible to indicate which objects are
linked to a typedef.... i.e. a list of "controls" that are linked to
typedef xxx.

all suggestions greatly appreciated,

Hi,
In the simplest way you can add
a descriptor for each control like " Control Value 1"
and after that paint the word Control as the same color as front panel.
