I did a project of similar complexity back in '97 either before I knew about typedefs, or maybe before they were availiable. THAT got a bit labor intensive.

Bill,
You can't do it with an enum, but you can do it with a text ring. Create a small vi that just sets the strings[] list for a blank text ring. Copy the text ring into your program and convert it to an enum. Ta-daa!

In th past when using an enum for a state variable, I 've read the strings out as an array from a property node. Works fine.
I got to thinking that if I could reverse the process and paste a list of strings into a string control(from excel), generate a string array, and read them INTO a blank enum, I could save myself a bunch of typing. I can get the string array, no problem, but I can't get the enum to accept them. I get a broken Run arrow, with the message "Enum has duplicate values", usually two blank entries.
Am I just barking up the wrong tree?
