Multicolumn Listbox

[LMartin]

Hi guys,

I would like, to add a row to a Multicolumn Listbox programmatically, to put a new row at the top of the list (but it can be anywhere).

I've checked in the property node, and in invoke node, but none of them offer a node which enable to add a new row.

Is there a way to do that, like when the .vi is stopped? ('cause the said function i'm talking about can be meet, by

right clicking on the multicolumn box, and it just moving down the values, and their BackGroung color, "What i am looking for").

Thanks to any suggestion.

Martin.

The 'ItemNames' property returns a 2d string array of all the data in the mc listbox. Read it, add the row of data to the array, and write it back to the ItemNames property.

Yes, this is running,

But how do you keep the BackGround Color of the moved cells ?

Thanks again.

I've never used background coloring, but I believe you'll have to recolor the cells programmatically. Michael posted an illustration of how they accomplished it in VIPM here.
