how to handle the selection of any cell with multicolumn listbox with buttons ok

[AlehTH]

Hello! First of all, excuse my English..

I'm working in a "simulation" of the LCD of a digital radio, using multicolumn listbox and Ok buttons, and I'm having problems with some things:

I need highlight any cell, But Multicolumn listbox allows only the cells of the first column, for this part I found a solution: Change the color of the cells in a way that them look selected (1 picture), But I need move this "selections" with ok buttons (Picture 2)

The attached Vi only works for the first column..

If anyone has any program to serve me an example or light me to solve my problem, I'd appreciate...

Thanks, 

Alexandra

You can't select a column on a multicolumn listbox. The value property is the selected row. In the control properties you can select "Highlight entire row".

If you really need to select a column, the workaround is to apply a background color to it.

I made this example quickly, you'll need to tweak it more to fit your needs.

Cheers,
