Strings And Values [] Property

Short Name: StringsAndValues[]

Requires: Base Development System

Class: ComboBox Properties

To Use: Create a property.

Array of clusters containing the strings from which you can select in the combo box control and the values for each string. Use the Strings [] property if you do not need to specify custom values for each string.

If you wire strings to this property but you do not wire any values, LabVIEW sets the values equal to the strings you wired. If you wire the same values to this property, LabVIEW returns an error.

This property is similar to the Edit Items item on the shortcut menu of a combo box control and to the Labels and Values options on the Edit Items page of the Combo Box Properties dialog box.

Elements

Name Description
String A string in the combo box.
Value The corresponding value for the string.
