programatically get the states of case structure

[Sreedhar_T]

Dear all,

Is there a way we can programatically get all the states of a case structure in my VI.

I know that there is no property node for case structure, but I am sure there must be some way that labview ppl must have thought about it.

Awaiting....

cheers

Hi Sree,

it should be possible with scripting. As a start you can analyze the "Tunnel Wiring Wizard".

With scripting, there is a property node for the case structure and you can query the names of the cases.  You will need LabVIEW 8.6 or greater for scripting.  Get started here.  Note that scripting is unsupported, except through the scripting message board.

Any other way than procuring scripting license 😞

Hi Sreedhar,

I am not sure if its for free... I tried installing it. Now it is asking for activation code from NI License manager.

Could you pl confirm

Hi Sreedhar,

it's for free! It's for registration and to check if you have a valid LabVIEW license, i think it would not work with an evaluation version.

You can find an example of getting the names of the elements in a case structure here.

Kudos,kudos,kudos... the code works perfectly for me 🙂 Thanks a lot.

Mike, I think you are right, it will work on licensed labview machine. I tried on an evaluation one.

but do I need to register on internet after I install it ? does it mean that if I am using a machine which is not connected on internet, will it not work?

I think you need a machine with internet only for the registration/activation purpose, not for working normally after this...
