Why i am not getting Visible property of combo box

[Tushar j]

yes thats what i was trying to put forward. In LV there is no way to alter the visibility of that activeX control. but if you use same activeX object in VB you can alter the visibility.

Yes, but my point was that it shouldn't be necessary to resort to flakey ActiveX controls. What you are tying to do should be very easy in LV with no outside help. What was the problem you were having with the LV control and do you have code that demonstrates it?

Hi

Here is the code for "Table with dropdown box". Long back I found this Code on forum and I am using very similar code in my project. Now let’s see what my problems are.

1. Open the VI; in design mode right click on the table and check the option 'Moveable column separators'

2. Now run the program and click on the Monday 9 AM cell and select any one option. (Every thing will be working fine)

3. Now drag the column line between Monday and Tuesday to the right so Monday column becomes wider.

4. Repeat the process described in step 2. Now you will find that width of the dropdown box is shorter than actual cell.

In my project 'Moveable column separators' option is essential. Hence I want to adjust the width of drop down box depending on cell width of the selected cell.

Can you please help me?

To solve your dilemma, simply adjust the size of the ring control to the width of the corresponding column. First you'll need to get the size of the column using the Cell Width property (path: Cell Size>>Width), and then you'll need to set the ring control's size using the Ring Text Width Property (path: Ring Text>>Size>>Width). Note that this property only adjusts the size of the text box and not the entire ring control, so you'll need to compensate for the size of the drop-down selector (which I've figured to be about 18 pixels). I've attached a picture of what the completed code should look like.

Kind Regards,
