I have some more questions related to another post of mine found HERE.
I have been working on an Xcontrol which takes an array of objects as datatype and then offers a UI for interacting with the data wihtin those objects (See other post).
I am using a listbox for selecting the objects and a subpanel within the Xcontrol to display the controls for editing.
I now wanted to implement the ability to display both indicators and controls in the sub-panel. I thought using an XControl in the subpanel would help solve my problem but it doesn't. The setting (Indicator / Control) doesn't propagate through the subpanel..... (which I understand)
I'm looking for an ability to introduce an edit-time change in behaviour, not run-time.
The only way I can think of is the following: Pass parameters to a dynamic dispatch VI containing the XControl in question and show either a control version or an indicator version of the XControl based on the datapassed.
As such I'm actually placing a Dynamic Dispatch Vi CONTAINING the XControl into my top-level XControl's subpanel and not the XControl itself.
Any better way of doing this?
