INSERT A COMBOBOX INTO A TABLE CONTROL

[aitorplaza]

Hi,

Could you help me introducing a combobox into a table control.

i would like to fix this combo box in all cells of a specific column.

Do you know how to do it?

The idea is similar to the attached picture.

Thanks in advance.

Unfortunately You can not do this in LV .

You can write code that will simulate this for You. For example when You click on a cell ring will be moved to tht cell and clicked. 

You can also this wrapper over .net classes:

You can do it with an XControl.  It's a bit complicated, but I already made one a while ago.

That is WAY cool Paul!

Just drop that XControl on the FP, pop-up to create a pop-up to create an Invoke node >>> Set Selection List

DONE!

Very nice!

How about switching to array of clusters (with thin edge)? This will impact your code of course.

That is the fastest way known to get proven wrong!  But, Saying "You can't do that with LabVIEW" usually helps the original poster  as seen here

Not as wrapped up as nice as the X-Control, but I shared this example years ago showing it done with a Numeric.  I had code for a customer I had done with a mix of strings, rings, numerics.

The message linked describes what I am doing.  The message after that has an example with the numeric.  The example could be modified for a ring control.

If you don't need to change the lists dynamically, just open the Custom Properties dialog and edit the lists.

I modified that example in the other thread for a ring control.  The example requires a double-click to activate, but you should be able to change to a mouse click if you wish.
