Initialize number of columns in multicolumn listbox

[astroboy]

Hi all This is a simple request.

I have a multicolumn listbox that has an extra column(unused). 

I could not delete the last column or initate to the correct number of visible columns.

There's nothing I could do to change  it.

Pls advise

Thanks in advance

How about using Property Node with NumCols and NumRows selections wired to the desired number of rows and columns.

Those will determine the visible rows and columns. ItemNames input (2D array of strings) determines the actual size of the Multicolumn Listbox.

It is up to you to determine the size by wiring the desired 2S array of strings to this input and using the above two properties to display only rows and columns of interest.

Using Num Cols or ItemNames properties do not really remove the last column.

I tried using the contex menu to click on the "delete column" and it does not work.

I wonder why its does not work

Do u want to hide the particular row and column (to change the visiblity of row and column) or do u want to clear the data of the row and colum?

1. To hide the particular row and column use the propety node NumCols,NumRows

2. If u want to clear the Data of the selected row and column then get the item names and replace the data with blank data.

For every column you can set the actual width in pixels.

I wish that were the case, but apparently NI believes 0 == 2.  A zero-width colum still shows a gap between the two vertical gridlines.  Why this has never been fixed I have no clue.

I struggled with this for a while too.  I finally determined that if I manually entered data into a cell in the column (not the header row) to be deleted, then right-click/delete column would work.
