Setting up different events corresponding to ring menu options

Solved!
Go to solution

I'm a beginner at LabVIEW and am trying to set up events that correspond to ring menu options. For example, my ring menu options are "0", "1" and "2", I want LabVIEW to run such that when the user toggles between the three options, different events take place. The events I want to take place are as follows:

  1. For option "0", user must enter a numeric value into a specified field;
  2. For option "1", user must set the values for a specific number of fields;
  3. For option "2", user must fill out a number of numeric fields.

What would be the best way to configure LabVIEW so that the events corresponding to ring menu options take place when the user toggles between the options?

Sound like what you need is just a Tab control that allows you to place different controls.

If this is homework, please describe the problem description in detail. Also please clarify what you mean by "events". Are you using the term generically or are you referring to an event structure?

 

I don't understand at all why you even need a ring control. Why not just have three controls and let the user enter values in any order he wants?

Thank you so much! Setting it up through the Tab Control worked for me!

I was using the term event generically, not referring to an event structure.

 

The solution that was posted regarding Tab Controls worked for my purposes. I basically needed to create three different modes of operation that the user could toggle between so the tab control worked well.
