Hi everybody, 
I have a problem with a ring-control in my labview program. 
The ring has many items (65536) and non-sequential values. 
I need to find the actual index of the ring array and set a new calculated index afterwards. 
As I couldn't find a way to get the actual index directly, I started a for loop and compared every "Strings[]"-array element with the "Ringtext.Text"-property. So far, so good. 
But when I want to set a new index to the ring, I need to use the "Set Value"-property. 
Here comes the problem: Every time I use the "String and Value[]"-property to get the index corresponding value, labview needs about 10 seconds to build it. Why is that? Labview doesn't have problems building the "Strings[]"-Array. 
Is there a way to handle the ring index seperatly I couldn't find? 
Can the "Strings and Values[]" operation be accelerated? 
Thank you for your time and your ideas. 
Best,
