You should look into the table for this.

Hi

Do you mean to use table instead of multicolumn list box? When i tried using invoke node, I can get the right row & column value by selecting using mouse down event. But now I want to highlight with color that particular selected cell. I still trying to program it. Any suggestion?

This is in 8.5, and will do what you want.  It will also work on Tables.  It will output the selected cell's value as it seems you have determined, and will make it look like the cell is selected.  This will work if the listbox is a control or indicator.  Basically, you change the cell colors to make it look like it is selected.

Matthew,
Very cool VI, I learned a lot from it. I was searching the forum to find out how to get rid of that pesky selection box around the first row of the selected row, your VI does it perfectly (set to multicolumn listbox to -1 at beginning, discard valid Mouse Down? events, changing Active Cell color instead). Also liked the use of the feedback node; I've needed to do something similair several times but have just shift registers, which get annoying fast when you have lots and lots of events to wire it through on. Thanks!

Hello Team,

I have multi column list box and the first column contains a check box...I have an mouse down event structure where i am selecting the check box based on the selection of the row and column but when i am moving the scroll bar, it is giving the row and column index as 0 and 0 and is selecting or deselecting that row...means when i am scrolling it is going to mouse down event and is doing the selection there..but i don't want this when i scroll it should just scroll and not to go to the mouse down event.Please let me know the solution.

Assuming you are using the Point to Row Column Event, the In Bounds output is not high if you are using the scrollbar.  Put a case statement around your code and don't execute it if the mouse down event is not in bounds.
