Solved!
Go to solution

Hi all,

 

I am learning the property node and could not implement the ComboBox properly.

 

Can anyone guide me how to use it.

 

Thanks!!

So what is it doing (or not doing)?  I can make a few comments, but I'd like to hear from you what is not working right before I do...

See attached.  Contains an event structure for updating strings and selecting values.

Looks to me that the VI is going to immediately exit without giving the user a chance to select anything from the combobox, based on what was provided.

I was thinking the OP has to learn more than how to use a combo box.  Like learning about DATA FLOW.

I am trying to have a dropdown box for array of strings and display the selected value, Is Combobox the better solution for this kind of application?

Sorry Bill, I didn't mean for my post to sound like you didn't know what the code would do.  I get in a hurry to post and don't fully think thru what I am writing or how it may sound to others.  Smiley Frustrated

 

naga243, did you see the tutorial VI that I posted above?  It shows how to update a combo box with an array as well as displaying the selected value.

LOL I was just thinking the same thing about MY post.  So we'll whack each other over the head with a wet newspaper and call it a day.  😄

 

To naga243:

There are a lot of things that need to happen to that VI if you want it to actually do something useful.  You still haven't answered my question about what's going wrong, so I can't really provide any answers.

 

If you want an example of how to use it, though, aputman has put together a nice little mini-app tutorial.
