TABLE SCROLLBAR OPTION

[mattia]

I'm creating a table with too many columns to bee simultaneously visualized on the screen, so I must insert an horizontal scroollbar, but I'd like to fix the first column while the scrollbar is moved for a more comprensible visualization of the table data.

How can I solve this problem?

Hi Mattia,

Here is a solution.

But i must admit that even through it does the job, it is not very convincing

I have put a smaller table embedded inside the main table.

The first Column is indexed out and shown on the smaller table.

So can anyone think of a better trick?

Regards

Dev

Thank you devchender,

but your solution is good only if the table has not the vertical scrollbar: in fact if you have a vertical scrollbar, when you move it, only the rows of the main table scroll down.

Make the row headers visible (right click>>Visible Items) and it will do what you want. The header index is -1, in case you will need it.

Thank you TST,

I think it's a good idea, but I don't know how insert my variables into the column headers.

Can you explain me with an exemple?

This is a problem adressed in ListVIEW. I used two tables, dynamically associated.

Charly, no need for the ListVIEW solution (which is what Dev suggested), since it's only one column.

I can't give you an example, since I'm not near a computer with LV at the moment, but, as I said, the index is -1, so you can use the array VIs to insert or replace the headers by using that index. If I remember correctly, there are also header properties which would be 1D arrays of string.

I missed the solution you proposed, because the post behind was refering to the column headers.

Here is a translation of your idea...

Hi Mattia,

Hope you have no row header to display in your table.

If you do not, then the latest solution proposed ( one  CC has posted ) is the best option.

Of course, I have no headers so I'll use this solution that is very good, thanks.

Happy new year!
