subdiagram

[LITE]

Hi all

I have a question about "case structure."

I want to use a "Tab Control" to select different subdiagrams from the  case structure, and each subdiagram is labelled by string, such as "voltage", "current", and "power."

But it always shows errors:

Case Structure: selector values have wrong type

Case Structure: no case for some selector values.

I was wondering how to fix this problem. Thank you.

Make your Tab control a typedef (not a strict typedef), then connect the tab control to a new case structure, right click on the border of the case structure and select, 'create case for every value'.

Well, you don't really have to do either. A tab is an enum and all you have to do is wire it to a case selector. Do NOT type anything into the case value. It will automatically name the cases.

Darren has posted a great series of nuggets on case structures you can review.

Hope this helps.

Totally agree with Dennis Knutson, you don't have to do anything. Just create a case statement and wire it to the Tab control. Will automatically rename all cases as you tab strings and the only thing you need to do is decide which one will be your Default case. Just tested it works fine.
