I have an array of cluster that contains two combo boxes. The first combo box controls what items the second combo box displays by writing to the StringsAndValues[] property node for the second box. The problem I'm having is when I create a new index in the cluster array and select different values in the combo boxes, it changes the dynamic combo box on all indexes in the array. Attached is what I've got so far. Thanks, Chris

Wow, what are the chances of another thread like this so soon. Check out this other thread and look at Hooovahh's link to see a cool way to change the combo box Strings during run-time to give the appearance of different combo boxes. The reality of it is that you can't have different combo-box types/lists within the same array. So what this does, is check which element you are clicked on and change the combobox behavior accordingly.

Well, maybe, but that falls into the basket labelled "implementation details" and I wouldn't rely on any of it.

In this case I would agree with you. The help even mentions that you could try to read values of an array instead of the value of the element. That being said this neat technique has been valid since LabVIEW 8.x era at least and I don't see NI changing the behavior without mentioning it in the change log.
