Display all DAQmx Task Names in Listbox

[Thisismyalias123]

I have a DAQmx Task Name control on my VI that allows the user to select from a list of existing Tasks created in MAX.

I would prefer this list of "available tasks" to be displayed (and eventually have one task selected) using a listbox.

For the life of me I can't figure out how to get the DAQmx Tasks into a listbox.

Anyone have any advice?

Convert the names of the tasks into an array of strings.

Im trying to use the Variant To Flattened String Function but am not having any success. 

The input variant is a list of available tasks.....so it must be a variant array?

I think i need to ....

1)get the size of the variant array

2) use a while loop to convert each element into a string

3) add each string to a string array....

Im new to LV so its very confusing.

Where are you getting the vaiants from?  It should be an array of tasks (a DAQmx task is a data type).  Just wire that array straight into the ItemNames propty for your listbox.

Ahh....I didn't realize it was its own data type. For some reason I had it in my head it was a variant because of the purple color. Thanks a bunch crossrulz! 

This solution works perfectly.
