Thanks Jim. That was cool indeed.

You're welcome. And, if you have any suggestions for other cool VI Package Manager user interface tricks you'd like to see explained, please don't hesitate to ask.  We're going to try to post new tricks to our "How'd they do that?" forum, on a regular basis.

Thank you,

This is going to be great if you keep this up.

Thanks Jim!

Very cool! I love it when the Blue Bars get taught by the Gold Bars how to make Blue Bars in their listboxes 😉

Thanks for giving me something else to throw in my "bag of tricks". 90% of my current LabView knowledge is from your "LabVIEW For Everyone" book so I guess it's been upped to 91% now!

I have to admit that I did not know I could open two control editors at the same time from different VI's.

I thought this had been shut-down.

Matt,

I'm happy that you're finding the book useful.  Jeffrey Travis (my co-auther) and Lisa Wells (co-author of 1st edition) deserve a whole lot of credit, too 🙂  And, regarding the multicolumn listbox trick, the amazing Michael Aivaliotis and Philippe Guerit are JKI's LabVIEW user interface wizards who deserves all the credit.  Generally, I just ask for the user interface features 😉  Michael and Philippe are the ones who make it happen.  Also, I just learned that they're working on another article about how to make your own cool looking buttons with glyphs.  Stay tuned...

Thank you,
