how to Store attributes of an object temporarily till my vi is running?

[JayRam]

hi,

im having a class wherein i have two vi's with some functionality. Now if i create an instance (object) of this class,

 i want to set some attributes to it and i would like to call these set attributes from a same and/or a different vi but my

ultimte aim is that i should store it in some container from where i can use it if necessary. i don want this to be stored in a file.

Cos once the vi stops running i don want this data to be available anymore. I hope u got my ques clearly now.

Regards

You could use shared variables. Or if the VI's are in the same project you could store the info in a queue.

Do a search on "Action Engine" within this forum.  A sub-section of Action Engines is something called a "Functional Global Variable".

You can also do a search on that.  Functional Global Variables are VERY different from Globals or Shared Variables.  They are often used as a container to store values and allow to share among VI's.  It only retains the last value written to it (unless you modify the structure but I won't get into that).
