explorer style list

[Mads]

Open up a directory in Explorer and you get a file list. The file list automatically adapts to the size of the window; if there is enough space files will be in the leftmost column of the list...make the window smaller and some of the files will be listed in new column to the right of the original.

Has anyone made an indicator that emulates this behaviour?

I can partially emulate it using a multicolumn listbox and some array manipulation, but you should be able to click on individual "files" (i.e. cells) on the list, multicolumn highlights and selects whole rows.

Hi,
If you are developing for MS Windows, why not just use the MS View List ActiveX component? I have included an example, of how to use it. For more info look at the LabView ActiveX examples, and look at Microsoft's documentation. Note that the documentation is not specific to the ActiveX interface so there may be some differences.

If platform independence is an issue, you might try emulating it with a table control instead of a multicolumn listbox, as it will let you select one cell at a time (but selecting multiple cells may be a problem)

Good luck, and if you do end up implementing your own solution consi
