updated Enm control values automatically

[Al-rawachy]

HI all,

I have an output array as mentioned in the attached code. on the other hand, I need a control that updated its values automatically depends on the output array. for instance, Enm control updated its values depends on that output. Is it possible to do that??

Eh... what? Sorry but I do not understand what you're trying to do at all. If you want to programatically populate an enum, that is impossible to do while the VI that uses it is running, you need to reference to it while it's shut down in another VI, then run it.

Depending on what you want to have, there are a couple of options.

Just like Daikataro tells you, adding or removing items from an Enum during runtime is not possible. However, you can enable/disable (grayed out) items via property node. This is the first option.

The second option would be to use a Combo Box or instead of an Text Ring depending if you prefer a string or an integer in your block diagram. Both of these provide the option to add/remove items during runtime.

Maybe it's better to use a text ring control.

Attached could work?

Hi Marco,

Sorry for bothering you. I've asked you to send me your code becasue I couldn't found the option (String and values) in the property node? can you please tell me how did you find it? I tried to replicate what you have done but it doesn't work with me!! thanks in advance
