Rif.: displaying data in single row and different colums in listbox

[Dreamer14388]

Hi I want to disply data in different columns and same row in listbox using InsertListItem() but it displays the data in different rows.....I am using escape sequence for creating columns....Also I want to display an integer which I have converted to string using sprintf() on the listbox with a word, eg 10Kg where 10 is stored in some variable and I have to add Kg, How to do it in a single InsertItemList() call...Thank you

A single InsertListItem creates a single row in the listbox. All formatting and escape codes for the whole line to be inserted in the listbox must go in a single label to be passed to the function.

Could you post here your code so that we can revise it?

Thank you so much.....here the part of my code

InsertListItem (panel,PANEL_LISTBOX , 0, "#\033p30lItem\033p100lPackage\033p170lRate\033p220lPrice", 0);  //this fills the first row
InsertListItem (panel,PANEL_LISTBOX , 1, j, 1);  /*in the first column
                    I have to display serail no which changes each time*/
InsertListItem (panel,PANEL_LISTBOX , 1,"\033p30lFlour", 1); 
//then I have to display a different item in each column in which some are variables like rate/price etc and some

I see: you need to create the entire row before adding it to the listbox:

sprintf (string, "&d\033p30l%s\033p100l%s\033p170l%d\033p220l%.2f", itemNo, itemName, itemPack, 123, 15.98);
InsertListItem (panel, PANEL_LISTBOX , 0, string, 0);

Another option is to use a tree control, which can be configured to look like a list control. The tree control supports proper columns. Check out http://forums.ni.com/ni/board/message?board.id=180&message.id=13541#M13541 for more info.

char * itemName[]={"item1","item2","item3","item4","item5","item6"};
char * itemPack[]={"10Kg","20Kg","40Kg","80Kg"};

void display_list(int j,int item_index,int pack_index,int rate, int quantity,int price)
{
	sprintf(string,"%d\033p30l%s\033p100l%s\033p170%d\033p220l%d\033p270l%d",j,itemName[item_index],
		itemPack[pack_index],rate,quantity,price);
	InsertListItem (panelHandle,PANEL_LISTBOX , -1, string,0);
}  //I am calling this function to display the data 

//The item and pack are selected and then I set their indexes //accordingly and then pass them to the above function to display
//the rate and quantity is also passed to the function
price = rate * quantity;
display_list(i,item_index,pack_index,rate,quantity,price);

 I am doing this but the problem is that it only displays the price in the last column of the list box and doesn't display the other things.......Please tell me what I am doing wrong in the above code...

I can only see a missing alignment code in this line: correct it and test again.

sprintf (string, "%d\033p30l%s\033p100l%s\033p170x%d\033p220l%d\033p270l%d", j, itemName[item_index],
        itemPack[pack_index], rate, quantity, price);
