scroll option like numeric control but with preset text to choose from

[FIT Engineering]

I need to have a control but instead of numbers I need to have text.  I have come about this using the string control option but I do not want to have a keyboard hooked up.  I want to be able to have preset texts that the user could scroll through on the Front Panel using a mouse like they would be able to with a numeric control.  Any ideas?

You mean like a combo box, text ring, menu ring, enum, or even a listbox?

OK thanks this is sort of getting me there.  It allows me to create the pulldown menu like I am wanting but once the program is started it doesn't allow you to make changes.  It also resets it to defalt settings once the program is started.  Why is this?  Would you not be able to change the options durring the program like you can with the numbic controls?

There should be problem making changes once your VI starts unless for some reason, you made it an indicator instead of the default control. You should post an example of your code.
