Hello,
I just learned that since LabVIEW 6.1 the "Flatten to String" function =
has a
right-click option called "Expose Typedefs". I don't think that this
affects anything in (or if it is useful to) the LabVIEW Data Tools =
project,
but I just wanted to mention it. From the LabVIEW Online Help...
__Flatten To String Details__
If you use this function to flatten a custom control that you saved as a
type definition, the function strips the type definition of its type
definition wrapper. If you do not want to strip a type definition =
control or
indicator of its wrapper, right the function and select __Expose =
Typedefs__
from the shortcut menu.
Notice that the "Variant to Flattened String" function doesn't have this
option. To strip typedefs from a variant, you can call the lvdata VI
"Remove Typedefs from Variant.vi" which calls "Variant to Data" with a
Variant "type" argument.
