how can I automatically add elements to enum contraol

[tintin_99]

Based on another function I would like to add elemets to an enum control automatically.

So for example one time the elements might be 1,2,3,6 another time 1,3,5,6,7

I would greatly appreciate your help on this

Thanks

You can only modify an enum in edit mode. You could create two different enums and show one or the other according to state.

You might want to use a Ring instead of an Enum if you need to change the items in the menu at runtime. You could have multiple enumerations. At run-time, pick the appropriate one, get the list of all the items in it (the GetNumericInfo function in the VariantDataType library will do it, under vi.lib\Utility\VariantDataType) and then write that list to the Strings[] property of a Ring.

Hi nathand, could you please give me a sample code so I can completely understand how to do it

Thanks

Why so complicated? Why the sequence? Why convoluted string operations? Why so many property node reads and writes?

Here's about the same...

I did sequence because if he wants to verify with multiple times then older data shouldn't be there..

This is better than that one ofcourse..Thank you sir.

Well, writing an empty array to the property node is useless, because it will get overwritten with the final array a nanosecond later. Too fast to see! So why do it?
