which table object can be edited during run time by user?

[astroboy]

I have seen tables that can be edited programmactically, such as list box, multi-column listbox,  table and ex table.
I need to know which ones that can be edited in the cells during the run time. I am not sure.

Hi astroboy,

every control can be edited in runtime by the user!

Hi GerdW,
I have tried on all the tables and none worked except table. When I put list box or multi column listbox, only controls themselves, no coding behind . I tried each on the cell, like putting texts , but I can't.

Hi astroboy,

listboxes usually allows the user to make a choise from a selection of items - the user doesn't need to add more choices (usually).

But you can always add more entries by using listbox property nodes! So just use a string control and a (boolean) add-button to add more strings to a listbox...

Hi Astroboy,

On the block diagram, right click on the control and select "Create -> Property node -> Allow editing cells" and place on the block diagram.  Then right click on the property node and select Change to write.  The wire a TRUE constant boolean to its input.  This enables run-time editing.

Hi Craigc,
I have tried as you have explained. I cannot find "Allow Editing Cells" in its property node. Weird!
See the pic below. List of property for multicolumn listbox.  No sight of that property, "Allow Editing Cells"!

I am using labview7.1

Hi Astroboy,

I am using LabVIEW 8.2 and it is under the property node like so.  Perhaps not available with LabVIEW 7.1  Mayby someone else might be able to shed some light on 7.1 for you, or mayby it is under the options as illustrated.

Hi Astroboy,

Here is some info from the help file also which states that if you right click on the FP Control there should be an option called "Editable cells".  Yet again i have LV 8.2 but mayby its in there in 7.1.

Editing Listbox and Tree Control Cells at Run Time

Complete the following steps to edit cells in a listbox or tree control at run time.

1. Right-click the listbox or tree control and select Editable Cells from the shortcut menu to allow users to edit cells at run time. You also can use the Allow Editing Cells property to programmatically allow users to edit cells in a single-column listbox, multicolumn listbox, or tree control.
2. At run time, click the cell text you want to edit, and click it a second time after a short pause.
3. Enter the text you want.

Use the Edit Cell event to handle the event that a user changes text in the cell of a single-column listbox, multicolumn listbox, or tree control.

Editing Cells of ML Box cant be achieved in LV 7.1.

You cant even type anything in it during run-time. 

As far as LV7 is concerned, the ML Box s a mere waste from a controlling point of view.
