Looking for menu code similar to when we're defining an enum or ring constant

[riobotics1]

Hi all,

I've got a question that I don't really know how to find the solution to (which is bizarre, b/c usually you can find everything on the forums.)  I'm looking for some example code that provides the same structure as when we're defining a enum constant.  For example, you can add/delete items in the enum, move an item up or down, etc.  My application requires an interface for the user to define a sequence of procedures, and my initial inspiration was to use something similar to the enum definition interface.  Besides add/delete/move up/move down, I will add another button called "modify" that calls another pop-up window to configure the settings of that particular procedure.  Is there a template that does this already?  I would love to see how this is done in LabVIEW.

Thanks in advance,

Hi riobotics1,

 you need to create an xcontrol if you want to add your own functionality to an existing control.

Well, I don't think I need something as complicated as an XControl.  I slopped some code together, I think this can do what I want, just wondering if I needed to reinvent the wheel.

Sounds alot like a normal Listbox, possibly with the addition of a couple of buttons the reorder the array of strings and writes it back.
