How to read text from ring menu entries?

[Stimpson]

Hello everybody.

I made an ring menu where the user can choose from ten different entries. The entries are like: "500mHz"
Is there any way i can read from this the "500" for further calculations?

Thanks so far.

You can use the Strings[] property for the ring control (right-click, Create >> Property Node) in conjunction with the text parsing code of your choice. Attached is an example if your menu items all begin with numerics.

Is it possible to read out values other than numbers when using af ring menu?

I would like to let the user choose a command like Connect, but the value send to my equipment should me conn_1, is this possible to do?

You should have started a new thread for this.

You can only get numbers from a ring control.  If you are using a leter version of LabVIEW, there is a system combo box control which is a pulldown that uses string values, so that would work.  Another option is to write a subVI which takes your ring control as an input and indexes an array of strings which contain the strings you want to use for your equipment.

For the original question: Since you're using a menu ring, you can get the text directly by using the RingText.Text property.

If you click on the property node you will also see all o fthe options that are avaliable for thie ring control.
