Sorry, my question was insufficient. This is a continuation of a problem I had yesterday. I am trying to use a reference to an array that is in a type def to set the data entry limits on the controls in that array. I can get a reference to the array from the cluster, but I can't set the data entry limits in a property node for the array. I tried to cast this reference to the more specific type of numeric control, and this will create a property node that has the data entry limits. Unfortunately that typecast results in a type mismatch at runtime.
You were certainly going at it the hard way. You could go get the controls[] array, index it, typecast to array, get the ArrElem property, typecast to Numeric and then get the Data Range property. Or, you can right click in the numeric control, create propery node and select Data Range. Make sure it is a Type Def. and not a Strict Type Def. or it is all-for-naught.
Really old thread, nevertheless I cant manage it like Darin.K has suggested.
I have a TypeDef (with five slider inputs), when I put this TypeDef from my ProjektExplorer to a VI and do right klick create->property node I cant find the 'data entry limits' nore the 'scale->range'. Somehow it is clear as there must be five of those. So is there another way to set those values?
If the cluster itself is not a type def, you can right click on your slider and create a property node. With the property node you can manipulate the maximum and minimum inputs.
