How can I keep a listbox on top of a string control?

[Brian_Beal]

OK, I don't get it.  How come I can't do anything with the string control?

[Vsh]

Ok...

Sorry if I have confused you guys

The string is LOCKED

Ben, There are no such decorations on the string, I just customized it to reduce the size of the editor part of the string!!!!

If you open the control editor, change it to customize mode, roll the mouse over the string.. You can find it.

For anyone else who is playing along with Vsh's game, showing the V-Scroll bar makes it look like only the top portion of what appears to be the string control actually IS a string control.

Bonus question (worth 5-stars)

How do I get into the control editor for the string control Vsh posted.

Yes X-nodes and scripting are permitted.

Create a .NET listbox, set the 'dock' property to 'top' and it will always be on top.

Sorry ben, Now I am confused, Why X-nodes or scripting tools?... its just right click, Advanced>>Customize..  does that not open an "Control Editor"? Or anything wrong with the term

"?... its just right click, Advanced>>Customize..  does that not open an "Control Editor"? "

I called Mike Porter over to consult and neither of us could figure out how to "right-click" anything on the string control!

You can?

I figured out that it was locked.  It still does not work in my application.  What was done to make the listbox stay on top when the string control is being edited?  I am talking about when the VI is not running.

Dear all,

It seems everything perfect with Vsh 's vi and his terms. That's why he got 5 stars....

Thanks,

Dear all,

Unlock the string control in the FP and right click--> advanced --> Customize -->

This will open the control editor.

I got everything fine with that.

Thanks,

Mathan
