Hello Schoolworkwork,

I do not understand your question. Could you please precise it a bit more ?

If what you try to do is to split an .UIR file containing n*panels in n*.UIR files, you should first save your .UIR file into a .TUI one - trough Options >> Save in text format. It means that your .UIR file will be saved as a text file that you will be able to open and edit.

Then, you will have to divide this .TUI file containing n*panels into n*.TUI files. Please note that each .TUI file has to contain a [TUI Header File] and that in each .TUI file, you will need to set you panel ID as [Panel001] (If you plan to have m*panels, you have to set the ID panels from [Panel001 to [Panel00m]). After this kind of work, you should reimport the .TUI file into CVI to recreate the .UIRs - trough Options >> Load from text format.

Don't hesitate to provide us with more details if this is not the kind of information you need.

Regards,

Hello back,

Then, you should try the following functions:

   SetPanelAttribute (panelHandle, ATTR_TITLE, "MyNewPanelName"); // for panels only

   SetCtrlAttribute (panelHandle, PANEL_NUMERIC, ATTR_LABEL_TEXT, "MyNewControlLabel"); // for controls labels
