How do I rebind all local variables bound to old_queue to new_queue?

Solution

  • You can rebind local variables from one control or indicator to another using VI Scripting. Place this code in a new VI:

    VI snippet to rebind local variables

    This opens a reference to the VI whose locals you want to rebind, gets a reference to the VI's front panel, gets a reference to the control on that front panel named queue 1, gets an array of references to the local variables of that control, and sets the Control Name property of each local to queue 2.

    You need to enable Show VI Scripting functions, properties and methods in the VI Server section of LabVIEW's options in order to see the scripting properties and methods.
