How to fit buttons inside a table control

[tintin_99]

Hi , could you please lte me know how can I fit an array of buttons to one column of a table control in a way that when I change the size of the table control or if I open the vi in any screen they match with the height and width of the table cells ( picture is attached )

My anotehr questions is , I would like to see the whole table control but I have seen when I open the vi in different moniors , sometimes I can't see some part of the table control and I need to scroll up/down and write/left. How can I make sure the table control adjust iteself with the screen size?

thanks

Vote for this idea and wait a few LabVIEW versions (fingers crossed). 😄

Personally, in my programs I use arrays of clusters fo things like that (example), Here's a picture of a small section of one of my panels. The nice thing is that I don't need a table and can mix strings, numerics, buttons, etc, in any order.

Hi Altenbach

Thank you for your suggestion. Is there any way to somehow link these array of buttons to the table control?

I tried to read the cell size and then change the button height and width according to that but still a small change will break everything and they don't fit inside the cells

I would not do it that way, too painful. 😄

Maybe you can use a plain table cells instead of buttons in these two columns and just make them bold and/or different background color. Look for mouse-down events and if the mouse was in one of these cells, act as if a button was pressed.
