string control with value pre-selection / history

Status: Already Implemented
This functionality is currently possible with a Combo Box Control.

What I'm suggesting is a combination of an textring and a string control (BD-terminal is a string). The idea behind is, that I like to offer the user a list of pre-defined values (e.g. the values from the five latest program runs) but also the ability to enter a new string.

 

Of course I can get this functionality by adding two separate controls or by combining those in an XControl but I feel the combination would look better, is much easier to handle in the code and needs less space on the UI.

 

Please see the picture for better understanding.

Sounds much like a ComboBox

You're right - seems that I had a LabVIEW blackout ;-(

 

Let's change the idea to: "Make it possible to delete stupid ideas".
