Delete multiple rows from table/list control

[SenSLabs]

Hi,

I want to have a table control in which a user can enter different entries, like this:

My program would read each entry at a time and do something.

However, I would like to give the user ability to delete multiple entries at once, like in an Excel spreadsheet - that is, the user selects multiple rows and presses "Delete" key and those entries get deleted. The Labview table does not allow this it seems - I can only delete one entry at a time - or I have to right-click and select Data Operations->Cut Data, which is awkward.

Is there a control better suited to what I want to do? I tried a Llist control, but it behaves in the same manner.

Thanks in advance!

You could write your own routine.  Use an Event Structure with a Key Down event.  If the delete key was pressed and the table has focus delete the elements that are selected.

Thanks a lot!

Good to know I haven't missed an easier option 🙂

Hi jamestan077,

If you are wanting the user to be able to delete one row at a time, they can highlight the row they want to delete, right click, and select delete data. 

Crossrulz also suggested a method above of deleting multiple rows without using the Cut Data operation. Was there a specific method you wanted for the user to be able to interact with a table control? 

Best,

David F.
