Dynamic GUI Possible ?

[Kedar]

I was thinking of doing a front end for database using labview. In that requirement i realized that Labview is short on the making dynamic GUI. For eg. When i am puting a ComboBox (Dialog ring in labview terms)on GUI where I have to increse the options dynamically. When user will select the add catagory in that ComboBox then he should get a text box to add the text for that option and then once that is done then GUI should refresh up with that option in dialog box.
I went throgh properties for that comboBox but I was not able to find the way to do this. If anyone knows then please let me know.

Thanks,

I have just finished a project that includes the functionality that you describe. I used the "Insert into Array" function to add items from an input text box. The array then ties to the"strings" property node of the front panel selection control. I also provided a delete mode by using "search array" function to provide the index for "delete from array" to remove a selection from the "strings" list. If you cannot follow what I did, I could possibly copy out a few sections of my code to illustrate.
Let me know if you need this.

Good luck.

Thanks Dave,
I tried this and it works. I need to fig the comman strategy for controlling the vi flow. For eg. Once a selection in comboBox is made then next time loop should stop unless selection is mage again without using the button in while loop but thats something i can find out by playing around. But this is important break through.
