listbox highlight automatically

[detech]

I found this exsample from discussion forum. I want to use it for a single cul listbox, does not work. There is no selection color property for single cul listbox in lV 7.1. Please help how to highlight a single cul listbox iterm automatically when the other process is moving.

Just wire your number to the listbox if it is an indicator (or a local variable if it is a control).

See attached (LabVIEW 7.1).

Is there a particular reason why you must use a single column listbox? Use a multicolumn and only make it shown one column. That is one of the available properities "Number of columns". Make it as wide as you need.

P.M.

I have this listbox to display the filenames, which is a single cul listbox.

Sorry, maybe I misunderstood what you want to do (what is a cul? ;))

For a singlecolumn listbox, you would do basically what I suggested. If you want to highlight multiple lines, set the selection mode to  2 (zero or more elements) and wire an array containing the desired line numbers.

I did it, but it does not worl with single cul listbox. My listbox is filename list, only one cul.

Actually I also want to move scrollbar down when highlighted iterm move down. Please help.

Cul is "Column", sorry about this mistyping.

Just write to "top row" to keep the active line in view. Modify as needed.

thanks. That is exactly what I need.
