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 the list.
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.
