Enum Size (or "length") Primitive

[SFK]

Hi all,

I am using Enums a lot to index values in an array or cluster (e. g. in an FGV), and have a merge VI for the typical process needed to initialize an array at the length of the enum size (string count):

Using the type cast prevents false outputs if one were to add enum items after the currently selected value.

I would prefer having a real LabVIEW primitive to do the measureing, as a SubVI would be bound to the specific enum's data typedef. With a primitive, the same code would look something like that:

Any thoughts on this one?

Best regards,

Sebastian
