How to Access Item Names Property of ListBox inside of Cluster?

[dbaechtel]

In LabVIEW 2010 I have a Cluster of Controls on the Front Panel. In that Cluster I have a ListBox. How do I access the Item Names Property of the ListBox in my Block Diagram.

From the Cluster, I can get the ListBox, but that returns an I32 value, probably the index of the selected Item.

In the Block Diagram, how can I get the Item Name Property of the ListBox from a Reference to the Cluster?

THANKS.

by using the "controls" array of your cluster, you can access the individual elements. You have then to convert the reference to a "more specific class" using a reference to an arbitrary listbox (or a constant reference of the required type), then you can access all properties of your listbox.

From the original question, I gather that the OP does not know the label name of the listbox item.  The following code will get the labels of all items inside the cluster.
