multicolumn listbox limitation?

[Gérard]

I would like to use a multicolumn listbox to select individual fields
inside each column and not whole rows.
It seems that multicolumn listbox controls in LBV 6.1 do not allow this.
I would like to get an output as an array of clusters of arrays
containing the indices of the entries selected in each column or even
better the corresponding strings.
Of course there is always a way to use sequential listboxes to scan
selected entries in each column, but this is far less palatable as
user-friendly control.
Is there a way around this problem?
Gerard.

I do not think there is a way around that issue.

You could use a table and at least get an inclusive list of all of the selected cells using Selection Start and Selection Size properties. But that does not fully fit the bill I would suspect.

The next idea would be to imbed an ActiveX control of an Excel spreadsheet. Then use activeX to get cell slections from Excel. I am only guessing that this is possible.

I will watch for any better ideas.

In addition I would suggest going to ni.com/contact and select the feedback link. From there you can give feature suggestions like the above application to R%D.

I second that thought!
