Use multicolumn listbox select functionality on table with non-numeric data

[Nokaroa]

I have delimited data containing both numeric and string values that I want to display in a table. I would like the user to be able to select a single row of that data. This is built in functionality of the multicolumn listbox and not the table, but the MCLB seems to have a limit of only storing and displaying numeric data. I could manually add all of that functionality to the table control, but there has to be a better way. I'm open to using 3rd party libraries.

The displayed data of a MCLB is a 2D array of strings while the "value" is the selected row. It should be perfectly suitable for your purpose.

A formatted number is a string too.

If you still have problems, show us your code.

I had no idea. Thank you
