Creating Drop Down or Option selection for prompt user input.

[Dravi99]

Hello,

I wanted to know how can I create a drop down menu that has predefined values? I have the prompt user input vi. When it says enter voltage..i want the user should be able to select from a drop down menu values..also is it possible to have a predefined set of values from which a user can select...say 5 values are displayed and user selects one of them each time the vi is run...can this be realized..kindly help.

Thanks.

Hi Ravi,

you can use a text ring  or a menu ring control located on the Ring and Enum on the control pallete.
for a pre defined value you can edit that control to have what ever values you want from the user to input.
You can change the menu option by right clicking on the ring control and choosing Edit items from the list and use the values you want.

Regards,

is it possible to have a text ring or menu ring as a prompt? like when you try to install a software, you choose a language from a drop down menu.
