Hello,
My question is about making my subVI modules more reusable using templating.
I am writing a queued message handler application to control many different asynchronously running instruments.
One super-nice feature of templates I recently discovered is that if you include a subVI or control as a template within your VIT file,
if you create a new VI using that VIT file it will automatically prompt you to re-save these files, which would save me a lot of time when duplicating
my Queued message handlers for different modules. (I know the Actor Template eliminates this, but it's important that I get this done soon and I don't want to modify my project too much at this point).
My question is that with the Control Template I seem to be unable to use a ctt file in the same way. That is, I can have one instance of a ctt but when I try to create a copy of it I am prompted to resave it as a .ctl file, so if I create a new VI from the template I am unable to update all instances of the control in this convenient manner.
Is there a work around for this?
Thank you in advance!
