Could we have the ability to create a custom type def of an array as having an enumerated type for the index? When I have a lot of data items, I sometimes want to give each item a name, but I find converting clusters to arrays can become clumsy.
Of course I could do that, but then the link between the item names and the data is not explicit. I might be tempted to write a small wrapper VI, which takes an enumerated input and returns the data., like in OOP.
Customize your Array with "Advanced" -> "Customize..."
Click "Change to Customize Mode".
Create a U32 Ring, fill it with items and cut into clipboard.
Select the "Index" oy your Array and paste from clipboard.
Results in this:
Maybe this helps... not Enum but Ring (and Ring-Index is accessibel by right-clicking it to generate property nodes and ref nums (Event Structure with Register Node!))
