How can I programmicly modify a ring control?

[johnfr]

I have a test system that supports numerous products. In addition, I frequently have to add new products to the support list. I have a ring control that lists those products. I would like to be able to have my program automaticly read a setup file and modify and/or add to the ring control list any new products found in the setup file. I am wondering if anyone has attempted this. Or, is there a better way to setup a adaptable system to accomidate what I want to do?

This is very easy. Right click the ring control, create a property node
"Strings[]" (Create>Property Node>Strings[]). Put the desired names in it
through this property node.

Regards,

Wiebe.

In the diagram I attached I add an item to the Company variable, and set the value to the new addition.

3) Put your cursor where you wan the image to appear and then click the "Insert/Edit Picture" button (looks like a tree).

4) Paste the URL you copied in step #1 into the URL field and click insert.
