Extend the functionality of Tables or Multicolumn Listboxes with dropdown menus

Status: Completed

The Data Grid control in LabVIEW NXG 3.0 provides the requested functionality. NI will continue to invest resources in improving the capabilities of the Data Grid in future releases of LabVIEW NXG.

I always wanted to have a table or a (Multicolumn) Listbox that allows me to integrate drop down menus (or other elements)

 

Here's an example from another software (Agilent Benchlink datalogger) which illustrates this quite well:

One could realize something similiar by creating his own Array of cluster, but this is cumbersome and very uncomfortable to change/maintain, mainly because of the difficult selection of all the control frames which are placed one over the other...

 

Functionality good, layout questionable...             Layout similar to the picture above, but not very flexible (not an array) and "hard to handle"

PROPOSAL:

Add a new type of list control, behaving similar to a Array of cluster control, where different types of already existing controls can be selected as it's elements, and where those controls are placed next to each other without those annoying and real-estate consuming spaces between them
