Hello,
This VI is proved very useful to me.
But while developing it by myself, I stumble upon Enum constant block.
I am not able to connect my Enum constant block with write to registry block.

Kindly help what configuration I have to take care of while connecting these two blocks.

Thank You,

Jatin Patel

Jatin,

The Read (And write) Registry Value Simple vis are polymorphic.  The selector terminals are not visible by default, but you can right click and change that under "Visible items".  For write, you probably want to select the U32 case if you're using an enum as the type of data.

Hope this helps.
