custom enum

[Lewis_G]

Hi all,

I was looking at some code earlier and saw a strange looking enum and would like to know how to replicate how it looks.

The two enums in the picture are the same (Copied and pasted) but how do I make the one on the right look like the one on the left.  They appear the same on the block diagram.

Hi Lewis,

the left one isn't an Enum, it's a RadioButton found on the Booleans palette...

On the BD they look the same, as radio buttons are based on enums as the help explains!

Tabs work in a similar way.  On the front panel the control looks like a tab interface, but the block diagram has it acting like an enum.  This can be useful if you have a case in a state machine to update the user interface.  You can use wire the current value of the tab into a case statement, and only update the controls on that page of the tab control.
