thank you, problem solved. That little change makes everything look so much cleaner now. ben

It often seems to be that its the simplest things that get me stuck with labview. I can't figure out how to make the box around the labels for "Function" or "nDmm" to disappear. For that matter, I don't know how to make a box appear round the label for "error in". (see image) anyone know how to do this? labview 6.1 thanks, ben

Thanks for the ideas everyone, I'd actually already been using the array indexing method that Michael suggested, i was just hoping to find a better solution. I'm writing VI's that interface to a DLL, and wanted to have the constants that users use in Labview to be the same values as the constants used by the DLL. However, I dont have CVI setup so i think i'll just have to leave it as it is, and document the differences. ben

Hi, I want to set up a control where the user selects a string/text and an associated numeric value is passed along, however, i want to choose the numeric values to be something other then 0, 1, 2, etc. for example, something like... modeA (0) modeB (4) modeC (9) It sounds like ring controls are the way to do this, however, i'm using labview version 6.1. i've been unable to figure out how to do this, and ive spent a fair amount of time reading the manuals and fooling around trying to figure this out. thanks, ben
