adding to prompt string to listbox

[krispiekream]

hi, i want to create a walk-through script that will prompt a user step by step instructions for a test.
i dont know how to do this, but i had an idea to use listbox and using "prompt" string..
i add my instructions on top of my listbox, but when the area are full, the scrollbar doesnt scroll down. how would i make it go down, or am i doing this wrong?
thanks in advance

You can change the visible rows by setting the top row. Following property nodes will be needed :

• Number of Rows : number of visible rows
• Item Names : use a Array Size function to get the total number of rows
• Top Row : row number currently at the top

my idea is to use the listbox to only list my instructions...
as a user complete an instructions, he/she will click OKAY..
when all the instructions is filled. the test is completed...
my idea is to use the listbox just for display...
i hope this image will help

Hi,

I just want to clarify something. Do you want to use the listbox to display (in order) each of the resposes that the user enters in the dialog box sub VI?

[krispiekream]

yes, thats correct

Hi krispiekr...

I have created a simple example that illustrates how you can do this. I have saved it for LV 8.5 and I am also attaching a screenshot.

i finally got a chance to take a look at this again,
can someone save the listbox.vi into labview version 7.0 please?
thanks in advance
