hello all !

is there a way to read values (in real time) from a combo-box while hovering on it's data entries, but not clicking on any of them ?

thanks ahead 🙂

Hello,

Please see attached.

That works once you have clicked on a menu item. I am assuming that we are trying to access the menu items before the user clicks.

If so, you could look at using mouse events to show/hide an array which mimics the behaviour of the drop down menu.

See attached.

Hi Ian,

Could you attach the "Array Point to RowCol.vi" SubVI?  I think this is what hookso might be referring to.

Ah! Thanks Pete - looks like I attached the wrong sub-vi. Sorry!

Lets try again - see the attached.
