Is there a way to disable a collum of a multi-Listbox in Labview?

[MViControl]

hi,

I want to disable a collum of a multi-Listbox so that user can not change the content in that collum, is there a way to do that?

Absolutely,

It's a matter of trapping the filter event and determining if it's in a specific column

like this

and just as a cautionary tale, I saw some strangeness on my system w/ this not working quite right this morning (but it is a monday and murphy loves mondays)

I try it, but it seems doesn't work, the cell in collum 3 still editable!

Besides, if I click more than 4 times in the listbox, the program will not response any event, even the "stop".

The same thing was happening on my system.... Looks like it's a trip down to floor 3 on Monday to stand up on some desks of the LV R&D fold and let out my quarterly rant.

So theoretically.... that should do it, would you agree?

Also if your willing to edit the code, there is no reason why I need to use the dynamic register for events. (this may aleviate the problem) so if you edit that up, let us know what you get.
