Get A Control Value by Index

[richjoh]

Get Control Value by Index only accepts an array for the Index Array although the Help says it should morph to single or multiple (array) input. Connect a single index number and the broken wire appears "connected a 1D array(U32) to a (1 value) U32 value. This action forces me to create a new array for the input although I'm only reading 1 value.This is Labview 2015. Is this the expected implementation for "Get Control by Index"? Rich J

I appears that primitive doesn't support a scalar.  I think it shouild accept a scalar, and I've had to do the same build array, and index operations that I don't think should be necessary.  I wouldn't say it is a bug, but I'd request either a CAR, or a post on the Idea Exchange.

I'd say its a bug, SET Control by Index work just fine for a scalar index. Get Control by Index does not work for scalar index as you mentioned. Rich J
