Data from database to combo box

Solved!
Go to solution

Hi,

 

I am trying to figure out how to add information from a database to a combo box. I am reading two columns, the first is used as the Item and the second for the Value. There are multiple rows in the table, and I need an entry for each. It currently only adds one entry. The vi is attached.

 

Thanks,

Chris

Hi CLH239,

 

I don't understand your question exactly.

 

Lets say your database fetch results with this 2D array :

What do you want to insert into the ComboBox Strings and Values ?

Do you use only one ComboBox ?

Hi again,

 

Attaching a VI... Is that what you mean ?

Hi Amitai,

 

Thanks for the reply. That was exactly what I was trying to do. I found a way to do it using a shift register (attached), yours is much simpler.

 

Thank you,

Chris

Hi,

 

Notice that I have edited the VI Attached a few minutes after posting it....

 

What I attached at the first time was your VI exactly, just adding a For Loop and changed the wiring to correspond with the default wiring of the For Loop.

I am attaching the VI here again, so you can see that what you have done was correct, and you just needed a For Loop.

 

I have corrected the VI, to make it more simple.

 

You can see the differences between the VI attached now to yours (the original one) ,

using the VI Compare tool (Tools >> Compare >> Compare VI's)

(you will have to have both VI's opened before starting the tool)
