I'm currently trying to create a case structure using enum constants to tell it what state to go to, my problem is LabVIEW keeps changing the names of my cases to 0, 1, and so on.
Everytime I type in anything like "initialize" it just changes it back to whatever it was before. Is there any reason for this?
Create a typedef of your ENUM and use that for all instances of your ENUM. THat will keep all copies of it up to date and in sync, including the case structure.

If your case structure is showing numbers instead of text, you are definitely not using an enum. You are using a ring control. Even though you can associate text with a ring control, it isn't the same as a true enum. A ring control uses the index number for case selection. An enum uses the actual text for case selection.

But if you mix typedefed with non-typedefed ENUM you will see number instead of labels as well.
