Hi,

I am not sure what exactely you are looking for based on what i understood what I can say is

1. Use property node "Item Name"

2. build your data as 2D andput data to multocolumn list box

Is there a specific reason you are wanting to use a multicolumn list box? I all you need is a tabular data display, a string table indicator would be easier to use.

Is each row in your display some kind of collection of properties of an object?  Like say each row is a UUT and each column is data about that UUT.  Here the user selecting a row, or even highlighting a row programatically seems like a good idea so a MCLB should be used, otherwise just use a table.  Visually a table and a MCLB can look the same to the user.

Exactly HOoovahh, I like to Display test item test result and every test , it should be put into row

Then a table well work fine, and it is easier to work with because from the standpoint of the data value written to it, a table is just a 2D array of strings.

You can also show column and row headers if you want. You can insert label into the headers by either simply typing into each cell, or there are properties for them as well.

As Mike mentioned it is easier to work with table. The only benefit using multicolumn listbox in this case are the row symbols. You can use them to indicate for example if a test failed, or passed, etc... But this needs a little bit more work.

You can find all available listbox symbols in the Dialog & User Interface functional palette (see the Listbox Symbol Ring Constant). They can be assigned using the Item Symbols property.
