Case Structure: Selector values are not unique

[Jeff.F]

Getting the error: Case Structure: Selector values are not unique...

Using Producer-Consumer architecture w/ queue comms and SW-Events.  DevSuite - LV2014

My consumer loop is using a typedef to control case selection.  The typedef is an enum and has text names for each value.  All my cases are in quotes and there are no duplicates in the typedef or the case structure.

Help

Can you post your case structure as a snippet or VI?

Very strange. Check for duplicates separated by a comma in the same case, easy to miss especially as they can be hidden if the structure is not wide enough to show all of the text.

I don't know what you're doing exactly so I will guess. Do not write text between quotes for the case values. Wire the enum to the case selector, right click on the case structure and select "add case for every value".

It might be a little different as i'm teliing it from memory.

Just to leave no stone unturned... 😄

I am assuming that you are double-clicking the error text and it brings you to the case structure that you already think has the error. Could it be there is another case structure hidden elsewhere which actually has the problem?

Do you have a non-typedef constant wired to the state wire somewhere?

You sure it's a typedef enum and not a typedef ring? Not sure if this could cause duplicates, but maybe?

[Jeff.F]

I never type with quotations.  I rely on the system to add the quotes.  Good question. Check that one off.

There are other case structures but clicking on the "Go To Error" button takes me to this case structure.  It also doesn't change the case to any offending case.  Just where-ever case was already up.  Another good Q.  Check that one off.
