Multi-line Listbox PDA

[ssk]

Is the multi-line listbox meant to work on the PDA? I cannot find any reference to determine if it is supported.

When I try to run a vi on a PDA with more than one line, I get the ASCII character for a carriage retrun instead of a new line.

Thanks in advance.

What version of LabVIEW are you using?

According to the help for 8.5:

You can use the following properties with listbox controls:

• Item Names
• Number of Rows
• Top Row

You can't edit the list directly, but you can use a property node for Item Names to read and write to the list.

Hi,

I am using LV 8.5.1.

Hello,

Your application sounds very interesting, I am currently looking into the issue you are experiencing.

Would you be able to attach your VI so I can look into this further for you?

Best Regards

OK, I see what you are getting at.

I'm using LabVIEW 8.5 with PDA. If I set a Listbox item to Multi-Line Input and enter text with multiple lines, I get build errors. If I don't select Multi-Line Input, but then enter multiple lines, I get the ASCII carriage return box on the PDA.

Here's a picture:

 

I don't know yet if there is a fix or workaround.

If I right click on the listbox control and select 'Multi-line Input', I can compile the code for PC and PDA.

When I run on the PC, I get this:

 

When I compile and run the same vi on a PDA, I get this:

 

I have attached the vi.

Dear ssk,

I have ran your vi on my PDA and it behaves the same as you have explained, unfortunately multiline listboxes are not supported for the PDA module as explained here. It is a known issue and there is currently no workaround for this.

Sorry I could not help you further with this problem.

All the best

Thanks Ben,

Is there a feature request form anywhere on this site for the PDA module?

Your welcome ssk,

The Product Suggestion section on ni.com will allow you to make this request.
