user interface

[tomsch1]

I have a problem i have a data file with 4 string elements per line and a large number of lines, about 100.

what i want to do is create a user interface that displays a check box and next to it element #4

for each line in my data file, a scroll box would work well if its possible.

i then will parse all the items that the user selected and use the first 3 feilds to generate the appropriate output.

any suggestions how i can do this??

You could simply use a listbox set to select zero or more items. Then you can select mutiple items using the mouse and the ctrl key.

Attached is a quick draft (LV7).

Aternatively, you could e.g. add a checkbox symbol whenver a line is double-clicked in the listbox, etc.

the example you provided has given me a new idea, actually i'm borrowing yours,

thanks for your help.

now if i could figure out how to not press the ctrl key to select multiple items this vi will be perfect
