Ring Enhancements
All ring and enum constants include a down arrow, which distinguishes
them from numeric constants. Also, rings and enums on panels or block
diagrams have scroll bars when the menus include many items.
LabVIEW 5 .1 menus, like listboxes, now support type completion. Just
type the first few characters and LabVIEW finds a matching item in thelist.
Use the <Tab> and <Shift-Tab> keys to move to the next and previous
matching item, respectively.
Figure 2 -2 shows an example of a ring constant with many items in
its menu.
