rsre,

I saved LV_Pro's vi back to version 7.0. Try it out and post if you have any further problems.

Thanks for your answer. But it's not exactly what I'm looking for.

I attached a file for better understanding my question.
I get status data row oriented from a device (you see it in the example in Table). Now the user want to select just a part of the cell, for instance the last number of the first row and I need to get back the position of the selection to save this number, which is sent regulary on this position.

With String Controll/ there is a property node TEXTSELECTION. From this I get the selected position. But there seems no such a property node for a table.

May be you have a solution for this.

Thanks

rsre,

I believe the "Selection start" property is what you're looking for. Let us know if this helps.

Hi,
sorry but Selection Start just show me the row and the column of the selection, but not the position of the selection in the cell (like in a string).
The user can select a part of the cell and the position for this selection I'm looking for.

I don't think you can get to table cell sub-text through the property nodes. Maybe this will help.

Why don't you select the table cell sub-text with your mouse. You can then use the keyboard to CTRL-C and copy this data to the windows clipboard. Have your application detect the CTRL+C combination and then use the clipboard.llb\Get Text From Clipboard.vi to send the data copied to another part of your application.

Get the clipboard.llb from http://sine.ni.com/apps/we/niepd_web_display.display_epd4?p_guid=B123AE0CBB2A111EE034080020E74861

Simple demo code is attached in 7.1. Is this more like what you need?
