multiple dropdown menu

[omerbashir]

Hello

I want to  just write a simple Labview program that would take an input from user (The input must be limited e.g creating a drop down menu). Then based on this input, it must ask user to enter other inputs. for example.

Input 1. can be either a colour , a month or a fruit.

Input 2. If input 1 is colour, then drop down menu should take Red, Green, Orange and Yellow from user. If Input 1 is month, it should ask for one of twelve months and so on.

In the third step I am going to use both of the inputs.

Take the example from snapshot.

I would like if you could indicate me an easy method to use this, or should I create a text / excel file or some sort of table to implement this.

Hi omer,

use ring controls to create your "dropdown menus". You can populate the rings with any strings you like at runtime!

Thanks

Thats fine but I want that. If user selects Month from dropdown menu 1, The second dropdown  menu should automatically show just the names of months.

If user selects Colours from dropdown menu 1 , the second dropdown menu should only show colour names.

I hope you understand my problem.

You just write the the Strings[] property for the ring to change the possible values.  You can use the first menu ring and a case structure to decide what to populate the second menu ring with.
