Tables

[jmax007]

I am currently reading from a file to populate a table in LabVIEW.

I am having success with changing colors/sizes etc using property nodes... but I cannot find a way to write to a single cell in the table. Is there no way to do this?

I am sure I can figure out a long way to do this, but I am new to LabVIEW and I'd hate to spend a long time working on something that has an easy solution.

On that note, is there a easier way to clear the background colors. Currently I am re-writing each cell to reset the background.

Thanks

Jamie

Hi Jamie,

look at the "Replace Array Subset" primitive on the Array palette. Read the table values, replace the cell you want and write the result.

Use (-2,-2) for Active Cell to select all rows and columns.

There is actually a method for updating cell data for a table. Use an invoke node and you will find it. It allows you to update a single cell without updating the whole table.

Thanks, I found the invoke node.

I knew it would be right in front of my face....
