How do I change the items of an Enum at Runtime?

Your approach is not practical. You cannot have code modify itself, so you're simply going to have to deal with that limitation. Welcome to the universe.

I would suggest looking at saving this information in an external file. That way you can read in this list of labels and use a ring.

"array of strings, and I would like edit a ready existing Enum so that the currently existing values become that in the array."

If you want to change the programming variable, you can replace the enum with a string control, change that and then replace it with an enum and you'll have the updated control. It will only work while developing though.

your code could be greatly simplified by using cluster to array and array to cluster.  (Which begs the question "Why a cluster at all when an array would be more practical?)

I still think what I have done it fitter than array to cluser, because array to cluster does not create self documenting code...

From my original code, I have turned the enum to type def, and I have my solution

Hi 

I had simmilar issue,when I need to enter 100 values into Enum. 

So what you need to do is

1. Reaplce your Enum with Ring

2. Use the "Strings[]" for the ring to populate your control

3. Replace back to Enum

4. Create a type def out of this new Enum

It works at least for me 🙂
