Search by keywords in the ring

[Vu_Anh]

I have a list of many user to store information. I put them into the array string and use the Ring to be able to choose which user i want. But I had a hard time with too many users, which made it very difficult to access. Is there a way to search by the elements in the string and give the fastest results?

Thank.

There is no built-in search capability of a ring control.

You could add the function to the owning VI, or design an XControl that has that capability.

So sad. My current level cannot add functionality to VI ownership or XControl design. Currently I am using the vertical bar to search for users. My user list is getting bigger and bigger, I can't use this method forever. Can you guide me to do the above 2 ways?

Check out Darren's nugget on building the quick drop functionality.  Maybe something here will help you.  tst also posted a link to his code that does autocomplete.

This CLA Summit presentation (around 5 minutes) might help you - it's not exactly what you want (I don't think) but it's pretty darn close from what I understand:

Thank you for comment. Darren's way is great but I need to use it when running vi, so I used the combo box, it fits my program very well and I found it to be similar to ring and enum but it is searchable
