Hi Marino,
you have to create a custom control for that way. Right click at one of your
enums and choose advanced->customize. Inside the toolbar change the typ to
typedef or strict typedef. Save your control to a new file - i like to
create a .llb, where i store the control and the vi, if only one vi uses the
custom control. Now you only have to exchange all other instances of that
control inside the vi.
