Programmatically Add Elements to Enum / Ring

[A_Patel]

Overview 

This VI will show you how to programmatically add elements to an enum or a ring.

Description

This VI will show you how to programmatically add elements to an enum or a ring.

You cannot run this code if the actual control is in memory. This means that you cannot change the control and use it at the same time.

Requirements

• LabVIEW 2012 (or compatible)

Steps to Implement or Execute Code

1. Download the attached ZIP file
2. Open the enum or ring control (.ctl) you want to add elements to (i.e. Enum Control.ctl) 
3. Specify the filepath of the control opened
4. Run this VI and see the new elements in the opened control.

Tried code ...._lv80.zip.

It is not made clear that you must first OPEN the enum control front panel, run the VI, and then SAVE the enum control which now has changed elements.

My goal is to replace a semi-automated enum stuffer with a completely automated method and this helps.

Hope it helps someone.
