type def not ediatble in VI

[Sankarnkp]

I am a novice in LabVIEW and I was handed over a the task of modifying a giant program. I am having some difficulty in figuring out how some behaviour of LabVIEW. I have this control (Type def), which wouldn't let me do any kind of editing. I canot access any of the elements of the cluster seperately and whenever I right click, all I get is the LabVIEW controls menu and not the individual control context menu. The same thing happens in any of the VI that uses these controls. I am attaching the control herewith so that you can get a better idea of what I am talking about. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

The problem is that the cluster is locked. Draw a selection box around the cluster and then unlock it (this is an option under the "Reorder" drop down on the tool bar - the one that kindof looks like a recycling loop that is furthest to the right.)

Hope that helps.

P.S. Hint: don't lock clusters in typedefs like that. It's really annoying.
