Multicolumn Listboxes

Is it possible to have the user enter text into a Multicolumn Listbox
during run-time? If it is, why can't I do it? If it isn't, why can you
make it a control OR an indicator?

thanks,
stephen

stephen,

It is not possible for a user to enter text *directly* into the MC
Listbox during run-time, however, you can use the listbox's property
node to insert data from a string control that is editable by the user.

The data type of the listbox is either an I32 or array of I32 depending
on the selection mode. As a control it allows the user to select a row
within the box, as an indicator it displays which row is selected.

If you really have to have your user insert text into that structure
use a table. You can set your table up to work like a MC listbox by
using the table's property node, but it is much more complicated.
