How to Access Wire Properiets?

[bienieck]

Hi,

I would like to get access to wire properties in block diagram like here: https://decibel.ni.com/content/docs/DOC-6696

My problem is that when I put Property Node or Invoke Node with proper reference then I can't choose any methods or properties (like CleanUpWire in the example above).

I thought that if I will wire up proper reference to GObject -> Wire then I'll be able to choose any of properties in Property Node, like those:

Property	Description
Breakpoint Status	Reads or writes the status of a breakpoint on a wire.
Description	Sets or returns a description of the wire.
Is Broken?	Returns TRUE if the wire is broken or in a bad state.
Joints[]	Returns an array of all joints of the wire, which includes intersections, bends, and end points.
Label	Returns a reference to the label associated with this wire.
Probe	References the probe associated with this wire.
Terminals[]	References the terminals connected by this wire.
Wire Width	Returns the width of the wire in pixels.

How to access this properties and use in QD?

In the same example is used "To More Specific Class" function with "Wire" connected to it. Here i have the same problem. When I right-click on "To More Specific Class" and create constant then I can't find there "Wire". How to find such components?

Sounds like you don't have VI Scripting enabled.

Hit Tools » Options » VI Server - then check the Enable VI Scripting option.

One small thing... CleanUpWire is a method, not a property.  You won't find it in the Property node; you need an Invoke node.

Yes, I know that, but thanks anyway.

The main question was answered actually, but I have some additional one. Is it possible to get text in label (which I programmatically, using QD, put on BD) highlighted in that way that after label shows on BD I can just start typing proper name for label?

I thought that Text -> Selection Property for label will be OK for my purpose but I can't achieve what I want with this. In Help is information that "If you want to highlight the text, you must set key focus on a control before you use the Selection property."

But I don't have idea how to turn on this "key focus" for labels.

Any advice?

PS Sorry for language errors

I found a solution (using user32.dll mouse functions) here and tried it like this:

It'll work if you're using Windows, otherwise I haven't found a solution.  Based on the author of this solution, I guess there's no better way.

Very interesting solution. Thanks, I'll try that.
