add a property to prevent an enum control from wrapping around

[Mr_M_from_G]

Hello,

I started this discussion

http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW/how-to-prevent-an-enum-control-from-wraping-around/td-p/3089021

and someone suggested to put it here in the idea exchange.

I think it would be great to have a check box in the properties window of an enum control where I can select if the enum control should or not wrap around when clicking the up or down arrow and the top most or bttom most value is reached ( and taking into acount that there may be some values disabled)

Another idea concerning enums is to enable editing the value of each entry. As much as I found out values always start at 0 and increment by one with each entry.

Hope these ideas help improve LabView

Hello,

and thank you for your contributions.

I just wanted to give a statement to the various comments:

Concerning my second idea I meanwhile learned about the rings (I am still a newbie to LV) and they completely fulfil my needs, so in my application I changed the enums to rings.

But, as Intaris said, this does not change the behaviour that lead to my first suggestion. So my wish is to add a property to enums and rings (and anything else that might wrap around) to optionally prevent it from wrapping around.
