How to convert ring to enum

[El_Tipo]

Hello all,

I would like to convert the ring out of (DAQmx Channel Property node>>ChanType) for example, to an enum to later use with a case structure.

I saw a previous post going the ohter way (enum to ring)

any help will be appreaciated.

Are you wanting to perform this activity at edit-time or programmatically?

I want to do it programatically.

If you perform that programmatically, the case structure will not update programmatically.

So, you would either need to continue to use the ring input (relying on the numeric value for the cases) or you would have to create an enum, populate the case structure with those values and make sure the programmatic values are handled at edit time even if they are going to change.

It doesn't seem as though you gain much performing the conversion programmatically.

How would you do it otherwise then?
