Is There Any Way to Disable an Item of an Enum Constant with Scripting?

[paul_cardinale]

The Disabled Items[] property of an Enum strict typedef doesn't propagate to a constant when the constant is created.

And I can't find a way to programmatically disable items in an Enum constant.

Is it possible?

I'm curious what the application would be, because I can't think of a reason why you would need to disable something on a BD constant.

There's a hint in the picture.  The typedef has "<Select>" as its 1st value; and that's never a legit value, not even on the BD.  Note also that you can manually disable items in an enum constant.

Well, I learned something new today. (I fear I might learn this in the future again 😋 )

Occasionally you can trick LabVIEW into applying front panel properties to their corresponding block diagram objects with the Type Cast function. This is one such occasion.
