You can configure a ring control so users can enter numeric values that are not already associated with predefined entries in the list of items.
- Right-click the ring control and select Allow Undefined Values.
- Right-click the ring control, select Edit Items..., and place a checkmark in Allow undefined values at run time.
The <Other>... item appears in the selection menu for the ring control. Users can select <Other>..., enter a new value, and press Enter. The new value appears in angle brackets (<>) in the control display. LabVIEW does not add the new value to the selection menu.
You also can use the Allow Undefined Values property to allow undefined numeric values programmatically.
