Create Array From Listbox Event

[lizimunro]

I am still getting used to Labview and wondered if someone could give me any advice on the best way to store test setting values for each element of the listbox.

I have two listboxes. 1) That displays three possible tests and 2) That allows any combination of the tests from listbox 1 to be selected via two navigation buttons.

Once the user has selected the tests and they appear in the 'selected tests' listobox. I would then like to store values of flow rate and hours for each test so that when the user clicks on the test in the listbox - the corresponding values for that test appear in the flow rate and hours controls.

I am not sure whether this needs to be done via a listbox event or a change value event and as I am a novice at building arrays I would appreciate any advice.

Many Thanks, Liz

Hi Liz,

do you really need "Flow Rate" and "Hours" as array?

Hi Liz,

here is an example for you. You can add the value for the flow rate to the cluster. I recommend to create a type def for the cluster. Hope it helps.

Hi Mike,

I think so, although there may be another method that I do not know about!

I need to be able to store multiple flow rates and hours values so that when the user highlights one of the selected tests - the corresponding value for that test will be displayed in the flow rate and hours box.

Thanks, Liz

Thanks Mike, I will try that .  Having come into Labview from .NET  I seem to forget about clusters and their uses and think everythign needs to be put in an array!!

If you have a single flow rate/hour pair for a test, there's no need to create an array of clusters of arrays. All you need is an array of clusters of 2 numerics.
