Search for enum constants with same value (state machine)

[Tomi]

Hi All,

I got an unknown state machine vi. The state machine is controlled by an enum (typedef). I have to modify this vi, adding new states. Is there any way to find all instances (constants) of this enum with a specified value? 

I can find all instances (more than 30) but a cannot specify a value related filter and then I have to check the values step by step by hand.

Hi

If this enum is not a strict typedef (where all instances are updated automatically if something changes), you can perform a text-search for a specific value.

Hope this helps.

Hi, did I get the answer from in-house  APM ?

I've already tried to use the text search but didn't work. I will try again...

The enum is just type Def. but the automatic update of states and enum constants works. I asked it for map a state machine...

Thanks

APM??

Now I understand - I did not think enough after reading your post the first time. I don't know of a way to do what you want. I'd do either a text or an object search and then look at each hit.

Very uncomfortable but the only way I know.

Hi, APM means Automotive Playback Modules (in the Philips World) . We develop mainly Optical Storage Devices (CD /DVD) for car applications.

Where is the link between me and APM???

Hi, I read NI forum often. In the past one topic was really siimilar to our problem. Your notes caused the feeling that you work for APM.  So I just guessed (but looks wrongly) .....

If you have an enum with the values "Monday", "Tuesday", and "Wednesday", for example, and you search for "Monday", by default you will find ALL instances of the enum, no matter what they are set to. Some of them will show up as hidden text, some as plain text.

If you want to find ONLY the ones that are SET to "Monday", then look under MORE OPTIONS, and UNCHECK the HIDDEN and DESCRIPTION boxes.

Then you will only find the ones that are SET to "Monday".
