2D-Array as input vi

[tonitpp]

Hi,

tst: I have a problem with you solution. In my combobox I have a list of items with their values associated (the value for each item is an ID that I use to do a SQL query) and you solution then returns the same name it appears in the combobox and not his value.

Dennis: I have test your vi in LV 7 express but.... when I run it, an error ocurs, it tells me an input parameter is invalid and I don't know why.

Thanks very much,

ToNi.

Your problem with both solutions is the same - there is a difference between the values and the labels. Like Dennis said, for his solution you need the values to be 1,2,3 because he's translating the value into the index, so other numbers won't work. For mine, the names should be the same. I think you only have one option: Use the strings and values property and extract the values array. To do this, you will need a for loop with an unbundle VI. Then, use the 1D search on that array.
