Editing Listbox Run Time

[mfitzsimons]

Help says you can edit the cells but it does not work on my system.  Running LV 8.0.  The cells will not go into edit mode even with Editable Cells enabled.

Editing Listbox and Tree Control Cells at Run Time

Complete the following steps to edit cells in a listbox or tree control at run time.

1. Right-click the listbox or tree control and select Editable Cells from the shortcut menu to allow users to edit cells at run time. You also can use the Allow Editing Cells property to programmatically allow users to edit cells in a single-column listbox, multicolumn listbox, or tree control.
2. At run time, click the cell text you want to edit, and click it a second time after a short pause.
3. Enter the text you want.

Use the Edit Cell event to handle the event that a user changes text in the cell of a single-column listbox, multicolumn listbox, or tree control.

I have no problem editing Listbox cells on my system. Your vi works : as requested, it opens the message window when switching to edit mode.

CC,

I am runing 8.0 and have not installed the patch to 8.0.1.  I checked the readme for the patch and there was nothing about the patch fixing this issue.  So, what version are you running?

It now works on a different PC that does have the 8.0.1 applied.  Seems that the patch is the fix.

David,

Now this is scarry!  Some sort of PC dependency or corruption with my install.  The multicolumn listbox did cause LabVIEW to crash.  Maybe the issue is with my install.  Any ideas on if running LV repair will fix issues with LV 8.0?  The PC does have LV 7.1 and 8.0 on it.

Thanks,

Matt

Sorry. Not had to do any labview install repairs so I can't speak from experience. I agree that might be you next step. But before you do that...

Does rebuilding your vi always behave the same way?

I built a LV8 vi and tested it here. Does it work on your PC?

David

ps: Forgot to default the listbox

It works fine at work.  I will have to try your version at home tonight (aka the problem PC)

Seems that LabVIEW has healed itself.  Everything is working fine today.  Looks like it just needed a reboot.

Thanks!
