saving and loading the data from the multicolumn listbox

[Daniel91]

Hi everybody,

I hope somebody can help me with this one. My aim is to have three buttons on my frontpanel which gives the user the chance to save the current values of the multicolumn listbox, or load  previous saved values into the listbox, or use a blank multicolumn listbox. Does anybody have an idea how to solve this task? 

Thanks in advance.

Regards

Daniel

Hello,

That's easy.... See if only a description of the solution it's enough for you.

The only thing that you have to do it's creating a property node of the listbox. Right click above the listbox and select "create", then "property node". Select the property "item names".
This has a 1D array of strings input. So:

blank listbox: give an empty 1D array
LOAD: read the file put the it in an array and write the property.
Save: read the property and save the array to a file.

If you need more help, I can do you an example. But tell me your labview version

Thanks for the quick answer. The item names property was already familiar to me, but I have problems with the saving and loading configurations. Could you give me an example on how to save the data in a file (what kind of file) and to load the data. My multicolumn listbox has 3 columns.

My Version is 8.2

Thanks.
