was this what you needed to do?

You have "2" on the buttons, so maybe you want to add the numbers on the buttons? If so, you have to read the Boolean text, as shown.

What are you ultimately trying to do here? We may be able to help more if we understand the whole picture.

Right. A button doesn't have an integer value, so we're just guessing here.

Unless it's a calculator. Sort of. Maybe that's what the poster is trying to create.

thanks for reply. i am trying to assign an integer value to a button and the button should send the assigned integer value to TCP/IP write, only when the button is pressed. i am able to send data using string control (as shown in the attachment) but i want to replace it with several buttons. for example, if i enter 2 in string control, this data will be sent to a robot (robot has wifi card)  through tcp/ip protocol, it moves front. 3 will make it to move back, 8 is left, 6 is right. this numeric data is already burnt into blackfin processor of the robot. so just by entering numbers in labview can make my robot move in specified direction. can you please help me to create a button with value and convert it into string and send it to tcp/ip write. this should happen only when the button is pressed. because, if i enter numbers in string control, it dosent looks good..... if i have buttons... i think my VI will look good and hitech.

This should get you started. I gave you the start of a simple state machine. I tried to document everything but if you have questions let me know.
