LabVIEW automatically closes the reference to the constant.Change to IndicatorChanges the constant to an indicator and returns a reference to the indicator. LabVIEW automatically closes the reference to the constant.Change to Shared Variable NodeChanges the constant to a Shared Variable node and returns a reference to the Shared Variable node. If you do not specify a shared variable to bind to the node, LabVIEW creates a new shared variable. LabVIEW automatically closes the reference to the constant.Copy DataCopies the data associated with the constant and saves it to the clipboard.Disconnect From TypedefDisconnects the constant from the type definition and returns TRUE. If the constant is not connected to a type definition, LabVIEW returns FALSE.Paste DataPlaces the data from the clipboard into the constant.Update From TypedefUpdates the constant from the type definition and returns TRUE. If the constant is not connected to a type definition, LabVIEW returns FALSE.
