Programatically change possible selections in radio buttons

[TheStrangeQuark]

Hello,

I'm making a dialog box asking the user to select one of multiple strings from an array, so I'm using radio buttons for this. Is there a way to make the possible selections of a radio lab with a property node? I was not able to locate a way to do this.

Why wouldn't you use a MENU RING instead of the radio buttons for a selection from an array of strings?  The property node of a menu ring allows for on the fly (run-time) changes to the selection options?

That was my backup plan. I was hoping to have a nice table showing all their options without a drop-down menu like with a menu ring. I was trying to modify a table with checkboxes to have radio buttons instead since I already have the dialog window built.

Hi Quark,

use a listbox to show all possible entries. Set it to allow selecting just one item...

According to the LabVIEW Help for Radio Button Properties, this is a Read-Only property, so the answer is No.

Like GerdW, I would go with the Listbox set for selecting a single item.

You can simulate this, I guess, by making an array of cluster, where the cluster would be a Boolean control + a string control.

Hi,

Then use a listbox and their inbuilt feature to show symbols in front of the list items…

This sounds like it could be a fun XControl using a 2D Picture control, or a listbox with custom symbols.  A while ago I posted code on custom symbols in item selection for listboxes that allow for multiple item select.  Feel free to modify the code to use radio button symbols instead.

I just use (hidden) sequential labels, and change captions programmatically instead
