Table Ring Question

Solved!
Go to solution

Hello,

 

I am using LabWindows/CVI 8.5, and I have a question about using rings in a table cell.  I have a table that has 10 columns, and the columns are a mix of numerics, strings, and rings -- i.e. 2 of the columns are rings.

 

The table is populated by the program (initially it will be empty).  Each of the ring cells is supposed to contain 30 values.  I have noticed that as I populate the table with data in the various columns, all works well -- except the rings.  After populating the table, the ring cells show only the first item that was written to the ring.  Also, when I click on the arrow to display the other values in the ring, nothing happens at all, i.e. there is no pull-down action at all on the ring. 

 

I have stepped through the loop in the code that makes the InsertTableCellRingItem call to insert each item into the ring, and it all appears to be working.  Return statuses from the insert calls are always 0.  I have also looked at the TableCells example provided in L/CVI 8.5, and I do not see any real differences in the example and in what I am doing.

 

To me, this looks like a setting somewhere, but I have been unable to figure out what that setting might be.

 

Any ideas?

OK... sorry for wasting anyone's time on this.  I kept playing around and found the answer.

 

On the overall settings for the table, it was in "Column" mode, but it was not in "Hot" mode.  Once I made it "Hot", the rings started working as expected. 

 

Thanks for listening!  Smiley Happy
