Look out for a method to present a list of array elements on front panel while allow the user to change and save the list after modification

[Jenjen]

I have a list of items imported from an excel file and stored in an array in LabView. I intend to present them on front panel using a list. The user is capable to edit the list (remained or removed the row) and save the change afterwards. However, I’m not sure which front panel object in the List, Table & Tree palette could work for this purpose. Any recommendation? Or, is there a better way than using a list?

Hi Jen,

I recommend to use a ListBox, especially as you want to work with full rows:

- you can easily react on user actions in the ListBox with an event structure

- the user can select multiple rows at need (when you enable this option)

- you can have row titles

- you can format each column (or even cell) as needed/suitable
