listbox

[*E*]

I need to constantly update a listbox during runtime. I searched the forums, but I couldn't find the example that I needed.

My list box needs to have multiple rows and columns. For Example can a list box have all of the below. If so can someone give me an example of how I would do this please?

Peter | (some symbol) | images | LED (maybe a blinking led) | hello (Font color change)

Luke  |  <, >, #, or @  | image   | LED (maybe a blinking led) | hello (Font color change)

Hi E,

a listbox can display text (even colored) and some additional symbols in the first column. You cannot include pictures or other indicators like LEDs.

So those "some symbol", "images" and "blinking LED" will be very tricky…

GerdW Thanks for getting back to me so quick. Thanks for the info.

Hi E,

you might try to use an array of clusters instead, one cluster per row…

ok. Do you have an example of this?

Hi E,

create a cluster of [string for name, string for symbol, picture indicator, boolean LED, string for hello] to hold those values you have mentioned in your first post. Then create an array of those clusters.

You need some programming to convert your data into that data structure, but that shouldn't be the hard part… 😄
