This is easy to do with clusters. This can easily be done with a list. The only disadvantage of lists is they contain just one type of data, whereas a cluster can contain a collection of any types you like. Feed an array of string representations of your 'control values' into the item names property of a list and poll the Value property of a list. It returns the selected line index, which could be used to obtail the represented value from the fed string array. This scales juat fine. I have just a LV6.02 German at hand, so the names of the properties are intuitively translated and may be slightly different. There are even better solutions to expect using events, but I'm not too familiar with this.
