possible bug with enum control

There seems to be a problem using the "Strings []" attribute node for an
"Enumerated Type" ring control.

I can read from it fine, but if I try to write a string array to it,
nothing happens to the strings in the control. I don't have this
problem with a "Menu" ring control. Most peculiar. Writing to other
attribute nodes works fine, such as the "visible".

Enclosed is a very simple vi (LV5.1) that demonstrates this.

Chris,

This is definitely not a bug, because thi
s attribute is read only. Refer
to online help and click on the property node to check. Use menu or
another with permitted write attribute.
