You will need to provide a better explanation of what you're trying to do. Updates of what control button? What strings? Where are these strings supposed to go?

Thanks smercurio

I have menu ring control button with few options,whenever i select these options it needs to be dispalyed in  an indicator(ring indicator, need to display all the selections). Along with the options i have selected in the ring control button i like to add some string,so the final display is the addition of the ring control button value and the string.

Thanks

Hi Veeru,
i don´t really understand what you mean? Can you upload a picture of it. To add some strings to an enum you can use a property node.

To display the selected item text into a separate string indicator you use the RingText.Text property.

To add an item to a ring you use the String[] property:

I have a menu ring control button, i need to disaplay the options i have selected in ring control (all the options i selected).

I have attached the pic of my program ,in that i am able to display only 1 selection(all the previous selections are not seen).

Hi Veeru,
to get all strings, use a property node with the Strings[] selection. To create a string out of it, you can use the "array to spreadsheet string" function or the "concatenate" function.

Hope it helps.
