select more than one row in a multicolum listbox

[larson09]

Hello!

I'm using a multicolumn listbox. I'm working with his property node and in this case with the Active Cell Atribute. I want to select four rows at time to change the foregroun color.....but a bundle only allows me to indicate a cell (a row and a column) and i want to select four rows of the same column at the time.....how i have to do it.

Thanks!

Hi Larson

I'm afraid you can't select multiple rows. In LV7.0 you just can select a whole row or a whole column (and of course single cells).

To select a row, you have to wire the row index and -2 to the active cell property (see attachment).

More information you can find in the LV help for the active cell property.

Hope this helps.

This doesn't do *exactly* what you want to do, but the attached example allows you to select only a range in a multicolumn listbox.
I apologize in advance for a bogus "wrapper" because normally the VI is called from a much larger program.

heLLO rOBERT.

Can you post the .llb in labview 7.0 version.

What i have to do to run a .llb, I have never use this kind of files.

Thank you very much!

Here is a version that should work for v7.0. 

The .llb file was unnecessary, just easier to modify for my purposes.  It is a library file and it should open up with labview as well.  It allows you to bundle sets of vi's together (much like TAR for other files). 

I am not sure you can change the properties of the selected values, but you can definately grab selected ranges.

Becktho - thanks for the great tip!   -2?  Where did you pick _that_ up?

I entered (-2,-2) - nothing,  (until you cover the list-box with another window....)

(pls forgive all the edits, am trying to join the embedded HTML club)

Hello robert again.....

I'm sorry but this vi is not compatible with labview 7.0.

I'm very interested in this code.

Someone can post this vi in labview 7.0

Thanks!!

Here you go larson...

That's from the property's help file. Just right click the property and select "help for ..." in the context menu and the appropriate help window opens.

That's humbling - so many corners unexplored (by me(yet))

Great map BTW, thanks again.
