Can OK button give value of ring?

[kasikcz]

As i ask in subject is here any option to get value from Ok button > property node as specified ring value or only string ? because i use subVI where i choose what to do. And i want to do it with ring not with combo box. example sumary 2 numbers.

Please attach a simplified version of youre code so we can figure out what you are talking about. A button and a ring are very different things.

[kasikcz]

as you can see i refer BoolText.text from button but i would like to make that as ring value is it posible ?

[altenbach]

It is still not clear what you want. Why not use a ring control instead?

[kasikcz]

i need separate buttons for functions (sum,divide,multiply,...) and from OK buttons get ring value

Hi kasikcz,

as Christian said: use a ring constant in your event case!

(Simplest solution: create event cases for each button…)

More items/questions:

- why do you want to use a ring? Why not use an enum?

- why do you convert your math result to SGL when it is displayed in a DBL indicator?

thx for answer i wasn't sure about using enum but it works 🙂 i wanted to have one event case where i handle more options but this is better.

and with SGL it's redundant not need to be there anymore.
