Better alternative to case structure

[CLH239]

Hi,

I am trying to find a cleaner way of doing the attached vi. In the vi I have booleans wired to case structures. If the boolean is false it sends a string to an array and into a dialog box.

Build the booleans into a 1-D array.  Store the error messages in a 1-D array of strings.

Search through the boolean array in a loop.  For each true, concatenate the corresponding error message onto the string.

Use an event structure.

Think about the duplicate code, you have, and how you might eliminate 3 instances of it, and use the one remaining as a subVI to handle all the buttons.  Also think about how those four buttons could really be an array of booleans that could be parsed with a for loop, with each indexed boolean feeding into that subVI.

Thanks Jeff,

Your solution was the most helpful, it did exactly what I needed.
