Mulcolumn listbox edit cell

[LMartin]

Hi Guys,

I would like to use a Multicolumn Listbox, but it's trying hard.
What I want to do is to double-clic on a cell, get his position,
and allow the user to edit it or not, according to the position.

I've notice that it can two kind of type: String or I32,
- Is there a way to switch between theese two type?
plus when it's define as a string, I don't have the "Allow edit cell" property, like when it's a I32 type.
- Is there a way to do that when the type is a String ?
- Or is a way to get the Selection Start property when is an I32 ?

Thanks for any feedback!

I'm not sure about a multicolumn listbox - I seem to only be able to select rows.

The row is easy to access, just write the output of the terminal into a numeric indicator.

If you want rown and column of a cell, maybe try replacing the listbox with an array. You can then definitely access the position - see here

Based on the cell the user selects, you could then use the Disabled property node to determine whether they should be allowed to change it or not.
