auto adjust column width in multicolumn listbox

[222]

Hi

May I know, does multicolumn listbox has a function / control to auto adjust the column width?  If not, how can I solve this problem, as user could not view the full data if the width that I set is too small. It would be annoying if the user need to adjust it manually each time they get the data from database....

Any advise??? TQQQQQ......

Hello 222,

I've already seen a few threads about "auto adjust multi-column listbox column width", as far as I can remember, there is not such option in LV 7.1 (I don't know about LV 8).
Meanwhile I think there are option that can allow the user the modify column width at runtime. This plus an horizontal scrollbar should be the alternative... I know it is not "perfect" for the user.
You also have the possibility to do a function that will compare the string length to the column width, and to programatically increase the width if needed.
Personnaly I wouldn't go for this but this is your choice 😉

I'm using Labview 8.. and found no such control as well... sigh.... NI should look into this in their future version...

Yep... You are not the first one to ask for this

You can as well have a look at that thread...
