Array of String to Ring type conversions

[sivaramkumar]

hi friends,

                    i have a data in ini file. I have to read any one of the key value and convert into ring type.....If any one of you know about this help me..

You can use Strings[] property of the ring control for that.

best regards,
Andrey.

hi
     Am having 198 ring indicators.For that i have to use 198 property node...I think its not good..Is there any otherway

Hi siva,

try this:


Ok you have a lot of rings: use a subvi in a FOR loop for setting all those rings... (Why do you need ~200 of them?)

Hi GerdW
                     Ya i knowI am having 198 ring indicators...So if we can use propertynode for each one is efficient????.Is there any other way...




Thanks....

Are you serious? 198 ring indicators!

Make all of them controls or indicators.
Get pane reference->Get all control references->Set strings[] parameters in a for loop based on label or so.
Go to FP and make all values default.

Maybe its even possible to programmatically save the controls as individual typedefs for reuse in the application.

Hi siva,

you only need one property node (maybe in a subvi as expressed above). Then you need references to your rings: you can get them as Andre wrote or by creating them for each ring

Hi Siva,

I am curious.

Can you tell us a little more about how 198 indicators are being used in your application?

We may be able to be of greater assistance if we knew a little more about why the count is so high and how they are being used.

Trying to help,

Ben

Hi, sivaramkumar,

I also will recommend to change something in your design. For example, if you need to visualize 200 elemenths in the same time, you can use the tables. If you need controls, then just imagine use case scenario, where one of 200 should be changed... How long time user will need for this action?

You can post your vi or screenshot of your front panel here and probably we will found better solution together...

Andrey.

hi gredw

        As per ur statement i have to make reference for for all rings & pass into that for loop...Right????If it so, for each iteration i have to change the reference value...Am i right???
