Modify array element bounds from block diagram

[Joao_Luiz]

Hi all,

I have a 2D array filled with numeric indicators, and I wish to resize the array row, columns and the bound of the numeric indicator (U32) to match the layout required.

Using the Property node "NumCols" and "NumRows" I was able to resize the array, that's working fine, but I am not finding a way to resize the bound of the elements on it.

I tried the property "Array Elements -> Bounds -> Area Width" , but it doesn't allow me to change the property to write mode.

Do you guys have any toughs on what can be done?

Thanks!

Since you can put many types of objects in an array, the "arrElem" reference is generic.

If you;

Drop a numeric on your FP,

Create a ref to it that control,

Wire that to the top of a "To more Specific Class,

Wire the ArrElem to the left input of the "To more..."

Wire the output of "To More..." to a property node...

You will be able to select "TextWidth" in the propery node.

See this Nugget for more words on that theme.

You can try this guide for a numeric: http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/14787DAD749279FC86256F3400611DE6?OpenDocument

Also, multi-column listboxes are very nice if you have a 2D array of strings to display.

Thanks Ben!

That was exactly what I was looking for!

In my case, as I was using the color box control,  I used the property "Color Area Size -> Width" and it worked fine.

Thanks again for your help and fast response!!
