Using a "drop down menu"

[phoenixsong12]

I would like to create a "drop down menu" so that the user can select from a list of options and based upon their selection, the rest of the Labview program will run with the option-specific parameters. Is there a way to do this using the "prompt user for input" icon, or...

Use of Enum will give you that functionality , use it the case structure so that based on the selection that case or part of the prog. will get executed.. u can find enum on the front panel control palette. Hope this works for you,

In LabVIEW 8.x, a popup menu can be associated with any controls/indicators. Just right click on control and go to Advanced...as shown below. You'll have access to a configuration window. The Run-Time shortcut menu is managed using the event structure.
