Is there a way to set the LabVew Dashboard autonomous chooser selections and/or the list of command on the "Commands" tab directly from the /home/lvuser/networktables.ini file?

According to the C++ programming guide for the dashboard it's not possible to set the chooser options or button names due to not being able to send arrays in the wpilib Network Tables implementation.

What I'm trying to do is find the easiest way of being able to choose between autonomous modes and execute test commands on a C++ robot. I'm hoping to avoid the overhead of a custom SmartDashboard as I know I'll end up spending more time that I should getting the user interface right. The LabView dashboard already has everything I'm after at this point I'm just not able to set the options.
