Re : Can't Add or Edit Items in CombBox in Design or Runtime

[dbaechtel]

In LabView 2010, I can not add or Edit Items in ComboBox Control in either Design time or Runtime even though Allow Undefined Strings feature is enabled.

Edit Items Box is alwys grayed out in Design mode.

Down arrow next to Combo Box is always grayed out.

I can not have more than 1 item in ComboBox Control.

How can I add multiple items to the ComboBox at Design and Runtime?

at runtime you have to use property node

right click on combo box in design panel -> create property node-> item

change to input then you can connect an array of string .

If I have the Allow Undefined Strings feature enabled, shouldn't the User be able to add strings?

Why can't I Edit Items at Design time?

[tinnitus]

thing i don't understand :

how do you see the radio buton "allow undefined string" if you are saying you cannot add item in design panel ?

if you right clik on combox does properties enable, can you then reach edit items tab ?

If I go to my ComboBox control on FP, right click and choose "Allow Undefined Strings" on pop-up menu. There is no radio button.

With or without this feature enabled, I still can't edit items in ComboBox, the table is grayed out.

Are you talking about some other control?

[tinnitus]

this option had no relation about editing items or not , i hadn't notice it was accessible true pop up

when you rigt click is properties disable also ?

may be i 'm wrong i talking about that :

Perhaps you can attach a short video describing what you are seeing?  http://www.showmewhatswrong.com/

Are you using a type def control? 

As mentioned earlier, selecting "Allow undefined strings" doesn't determine whether you can edit items in your combo box.  It only sets whether you can input other string not in that list.

I'm not seeing the issues at this moment.

Restarting my CPU and LV must have fixed a temporary condition.

THANKS.
