Update cases in case structure after modifying "Case Type"

[Pavel_47]

Hello,

After modifying "Case Type" (one case was removed) I've discovered that cases in cases strcuture became "damaged": "named" cases have been changed for numerical ones (i.e. 0, 1, 2, 3).

Does exist some way to repaire case strcuture ?

Thanks

Pavel

You have a coercion dot on your shift register / output of your case structure - that means the data type is just a number, instead of your type-definitioned enum, update the cases inside the case structure to remove the coercion dots to use your type definition instead. Use the context help and hover over the wire! The red dot is there to tell you something!

I assume LabVIEW can not automatically update all instances of your typ def. enum and your VI has errors. So open Error List (Ctrl+L) and go to the typ def. error. Right Click the grayed out type defition and choose "Review and update from Type Def..." which opens another dialog. Approve all errors and you're done.

Edit: As far as I know this is a LabVIEW2015 feature.

I've noticed these red dots and understood that they signify discrepancy in types.

But I don't see any update option when I right-click on case structure. Should I update them manually ?

Thanks,

I've tried your suggestion, but when I right-clicked on type definition error, nothing happened

In your screenshot press"Show Error" after you selected an error. It brings you to the error in your block diagram. Your type definition which causes an error is grayed out. Right click the grayed out type definition and...

Right-click on one of the greyed out enums and choose "Review and Update From Type Def".  That should allow you to fix the issues.

update the enums inside every case with the updated enum you have mentioned at left most side.then automatically it will show you all the cases in the specified text format.if you unable to see the modified cases then click on options"show all the cases" then it will show all the modified cases.

Why this response to a 3 year old thread that is already marked as solved?

When I read your response, it actually confused me as to what point you are trying to make.
