Possibly simple programming question

[bmyerspgh]

Good Morning folks,

I ran into a problem yesterday, and while I found a work around, maybe some of you can grant me some insight.

I have a type defined enum with maybe 5 or 6 items in it.. and I would like to put those values into an array.  Easy enough to make a constant sting array with those values, but it would be nice to be able to turn the enum into an array so that I reduce the chance of typos, and the code is expandable.

How might one do that?

Danke

HI Danke,

In non-RT environments you can use teh property node "Strings" to get a list of the string sin the enum.

Under RT you can parse the enum type desciptor to get the strings.

Does that help or is there a challenge beyond that?

You can use the Strings[] property to programmatically get those values in an array.

I had a similar question previously  (you can find it in the User Forums:  "How do I print a Typedef containing an ENUM?" .  Here is a picture of the solution that I came up with.
