Please Clarify the Errors (Case Structure)

[sman]

I am using numeric case structure but I don't understand the errors, can anyone clarify what they are mean and what I have to do to change it. Thank you in advance.

Sorry about that, here is the attachment.

I'm not sure how the dynamic data type works, but you are getting the errors because connecting a DDT to a case selector coerces it to a boolean value and your cases are numeric, not boolean.

hi guys, i'm just starting out in labview programming and i was trying to get familiar with radio buttons. So i created a case structure, gave it 3 cases, and put three radio buttons to correspond with the three cases. But i'm getting a similar error and im not sure what is wrong. I was getting two of them, but after i made one of the cases a default case, one of the errors went away. Here is my attatchment. I would appriciate your help, thanks.

(This is a new problem, so you should have started a new thread.)

The solution is simple: Things are case sensitive!

A case labeled "Divide" is different to a case "divide"! Correct the first characer for each case and you're all set. 🙂

In scenarios such as this, easiest is to hook up an empty case structure to the radio control, then right-click the case structure and select "Add case for every value". Voila! No chance for mispellings! 😄
