How to properly make this VI generic?

[Goonior]

I use several QSM (one main and some subs) and for the states I use enum (nice because the case structure is very intuitive with the text).

The queue messages are basically a cluster containing an enum (the message ID) and a variant (for whatever data is needed for that message).

Let say I have two enums with different items: ENUM1 = {CAT, DOG} & ENUM2 = {CAR, TRUCK}

I need to make a standard VI that will take either of those enum controls as its input and output the list of its strings.

My guess is that I need to do something with references and the String[] property node, but I'm just not getting it right.

If somebody could just point me in the right direction, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks,

Matt

The VI you need already exists.  Look in vi.lib\Utility\VariantDataType\GetNumericInfo.vi.

Thanks, that VI does what I need, but  I'm more interested in the underlying code to accomplish it.

Any ideas on what's beneath the hood in that VI?

Thanks much.

Probably several calls to internal LabVIEW functions using Call Library Function Node with the library name set to LabVIEW.
