Indexing VI Clone Reference

[SreeRanjani]

Hi All,

In an array of  VI references(which may have reference of multiple clones of a VI), on searching for a particular clone VI reference using "Search 1D Array" output is always the index of first clone of that VI even if we search for other clones.

Kindly give explanation for this behaviour and also suggest if there are any alternate ways to get the index of required clone VI.

PS: Find the VIs demonstrating this behaviour attached below.

Thanks in Advance

Use the VI name, or in this case the Clone name.  Then do the search 1D array on the names which are unique.  Your opinion of if this is normal or a bug, will likely depend on your level of computer science experience.

Hooovahh,

Thanks for your suggestion, I tried typecasting the reference[] and reference to numeric[] and numeric and then did the searching this seemed to work.
