Since you want a string in the end, use a ComboBox.  It behaves just like a ring, but has a string data type.

Caveat is that ring and combo box constants are NOT automatically updated with a typedef update.  There's complicated procedure to get them to update, but even then I think it might only work on those constants already in memory.

 

Could someone remind me how to do this stuff?

 

Thanks!
