Case Structure

select frames : by name, but also by index

the default behavior : by name

[altenbach]

The case is selected based on the value going to the selector terminal so I am confused what you mean by "select" at edit time. Do you want to "show" the code of a certain case? What do you mean by "frame"? What is the "index" of a case? Since cases can be reordered without changing the code logic, it is not clear what you actually want here. Could you clarify?

ouadji: Don't be embarrassed about your English. It is usually clear enough, and I always like your pictures! 🙂

"and I always like your pictures!" 

Thank you for your encouragements.

If I could write English usually, I could explain and say so many things, as with french ... arggg !

It is frustrating, really !  As I always say, I do my best.

I don't think there is a need for this because the Case structure does not depend at all on the index. The only structure that does is the stacked sequence structure, and there is a strong push for people to not use that.

If this were implemented, and then someone went in and rearranged your cases, then any code that relies on your index would break.

1)

It is also possible with the current behavior of LV.

if someone rearranges the names of your frames, then any code would break too.

2)

if it's not possible to select a case structure by index,

What is the usefulness of this :
