Multicolumnlistbox

[phuzionz]

Hi guys, can anabody help me please

In my VI, when i press on a certain row he gives me a 1 at that index, but when i choose another row(index), the output array is fully erased.

I want that he leave the previousreults in the output array.

Thanks for helping, jeroen

Hi:

In your code, each time the event fires, you are re-initializing the input array to nothing. I changed your code so that the re-initialization occurs only once outside the event structure. In this case, you will have to wire the array data line through each of your event cases.

.. I hope this helps

No It's not correct, You must know that my output array stands for a the itemsymbol's of the multicolimnlistbox.

Thus, when i press row one, an itemsymbel must appear at index 0, that's my meaning with the program.

Hi Jeroen,

I don't fully get what you want..

Hope this code helps, it tracks the number of time a certain row is clicked:

No guys, sorry for the bad communication!

I have add a new VI to explai it more clearly.

When you start the VI, you can press on the multicolumn, there appears a itemsymbol. But now, How can i prevent that my output array shift's, when i press at the same place.

For example: I press at index 0, itemsymbol appears at index 0, I press again index 0 to eraese that item, now there appaers at index one an item, how an i prevent this?

Thanks Jeroen

I don't know what you are really doing but if you want to prevent a condition that already has happened from happing again you need to perform some kind of search, which I don't see in your code.

Two things need to happen:

1) Use "Replace Array Subset" instead of "Insert Into Array" to change(replace) elements without making the array any larger. With the Insert, you were adding an element to the array everytime your event fired.

2) Because "Replace Array Subset" will cause an error if you try to replace an element that doesn't exist yet, you have to initialize your array to the proper size first. This happens to be the same size as the array of ItemNames in the multicolumn listbox.

This is how I got your code to work. Let me know if you need more clarification.

To all,

I really appreciate the help!

Dear Forummembers,

How can i prevent that labview automatically add some rows when i want to insert something on the last possible row.

Please, Take a look in my example.

1. Start the example

2. Double Click on the last row

3. Probably you have seen the strange behavior

Thanks,

Jeroen

Can nobody help me on this topic?

Br,

There is a VI that is missing (to initialize the array).

I tried to reproduce what you were seeing, but I think if you included the Init VI it may help.

Sorry, i have upload the new VI!

[hooovahh]

I don't fully understand your question. I downloaded your code and ran it and it seems to behave as I would expect it. When you double click a cell it will add the letter "a" to it, but only for a 6 x 10 grid (because that is what is initialized)

Could you please explain the behavior you are seeing.

Also I noticed your sub VI simply initializes a 2D array of string. For future reference this is built into LabVIEW, right click the "Initialize Array" and say add dimension.

If you created this VI for some other reason disregard my comment.

It is not that rows are being added, rather the first row is being reset to the normal height. This seems to occur when the 'Names' property is set. You can reset the height each time you set the 'Names' property. If you see a jitter in the display, you need to insert a "Defer Panel Updates" property. There may be a better way, but I can't see one at the moment.

Also it is unnecessary to set the height multiple times -- the entire row has the same height. Remove the 'For' loop entirely and remove the second 'Height' property in your property node.

When you want to add The "a" in de last row, he add some rows or he changes the display.

I have also add some code to rewrite the multicolumn listbox. When you disabled that button you can see the "strange" behavior.

To initiliazes a 2D array, your method is much easier.

Hey David, the "Defer Panel Updates" property seems not be working.

But you are right when you are saying that the behavior pops up when you write somthing to the property "itemnames"
