Which style TABLE can support the direct input and selective input?


Recommended Posts

Tables don't work like that.  A table is literally a 2D array of string.  That is the data type it contains.  It does not have provisions for numerics, drop downs, or other data types without extra work.

 

That being said LabVIEW is a programming language and you can make it do what ever you want.  In the past I've seen code where when you click on a field, a drop down controls is moved over top of the table to appear as if the table has a limited selection.

 

But in your simple example is there a reason you don't just have a cluster with all of this data in it?  A cluster which contains two strings, and two drop downs?  Attached is a VI that looks similar to what you posted.

Example Table.vi

Thanks for your reply. This is a flexible way to achieve the result.
