listbox text colour

[IO HUI]

Hi!

Recently I have put an array data in a one column listbox to view the data and what I would like to do is to highlight a word in the listbox.

I know that I can use the prop. node to change the colour of the text in a whole row but I don't know if there is a way to just change the colour of a word in one of the row.

In order to do that, I have tried to use different colour text to build an array before put it in the listbox but it cannot work. Other than that,

I also tried to convert the array to string then change the colour of one of the word then put the whole string in the listbox.It also doesn't work.After that , I have tried to find if there is some prop. node that is similar to the string control that have the start and stop text selection but I cannot find any prop. that is similar.

Actually is it possible to do that?

Thanks in advance.

Yes, it is possible to change font colour on one row in a listbox, see code sample below

Hi Io,

I do not think it is possible to change one specific word in a listbox.  If you try to set the word to the desired color, and then build an array from it, the color setting does not remain because the property is set for that particular indicator or control.  For this reason, you are limited to the properties outlined by the listbox.

If this is an important feature for you, you can submit a product suggestion at Contact NI.
