aputman,
Thanks for the suggestions and link to the idea exchange -- I've kudo'ed that entry.
I agree that visually a classic table is a good fit and cleans up some aspects of the cludgy UI logic that I need with my composite approach.
But from a user experience perspective, interacting with a table at run-time will be very different than a string control/text editor even if I code up things like arrow key navigation, and I think that will be a showstopper with my users. I may give it a try though to see what they think.
I haven't worked with .NET containers and controls in LabVIEW before, but I expect you're right about there being a solution in that space out there, like ScintillaNET. I have a bunch of methods that go along with my UI that I would probably need to re-implement, but I'll bookmark it for a possible future version.
