LabVIEW(r) Preload an Enum with a String Array

Posted on February 18, 2023 by LV_TS_Test_Engineer_3000_VI

Sometime you need to have an enum a many items and you already have a string array of what you want in the enum

You cannot use the string[] directly in the same vi the new enum is located because Write String[] only works in NON Running mode (Edit mode) so you need another vi that does the String[]

See the presentation below to see how to do it.

LabVIEW(r) is a software product of NI (formally National Instruments)

LV StandAlone or in SubPanel

Posted on July 5, 2021 by LV_TS_Test_Engineer_3000_VI

Presentation on determining if running VI as standalone or in a SubPanel

Update

Updated vi to verify when running. Closeable still works when developer selects Allow user to Open Diagram

First check as Stand Alone

Next test if developer enable “Allow user to Open Diagram”

Yes, still works even if user selected Allow Open Diagram (odd, I think it did not work for me in LV2015 some time ago, LV2019 its ok)
