Is there an EASY way....

Is there an easy way to populate a control list box in FT VIEW ME with a compact logix string array and then capture the selection in the controller?

Right now I am thinking I need to create 'states' tied to the individual string elements and then in logic page through them with a copy routine to grab the state index.....This seems like alot of code for something that should be much simpler...

As far as displaying the list box states in ME, no. I create a similar list of configurable recipe names from a Logix array and must populate each list box state with the string tag.

However, if you keep the string array index the same as the list box state index (i.e. state 0 displays string[0]) then you don't have to "page" through and copy, you can just indirectly address the value in your code.
