I would advise you  to use the Variant To Control tools from LAVA. They have an example VI to convert an array of strings to an enum (typedef if you want).

Thanks Ton, I have download the tools form LAVA. But I have not find the Get Defalut Data form TD_ogtk.vi when I run ArrayToEnum__A2E.vi.

Would you supply the vi to me?

These VIs are part of the OpenG toolkit a valuable Open Source set of VIs.

You can install them with the (free) VIPM.

Old-Timers Trick:

Start with a ring control and write all of your strings to it. Then right-click and choose replace and naviagte to a enum. The enum will inherit all f the strings from the ring control.

Have fun!
