Does CVI support Editable Lists ?

[Shako]

Hi

Is there a way i can have a drop down list with the ability for the user to enter his own values?

I believe you're looking for a "Combo Box".  It's one of the available Custom Controls in the Toolslib.  You may also want to check out the "Combodemo" in the examples.

Thanks.

Do you know if its possible to create a control like this for numerics only?

I currently got a function which forces the users input to numeric.

Hi Shako,

I think that you might be able to use a ring control. It allows you to pre-determine the values that you want to have the user enter. You can learn more in the help file on it.

I found a solution.

i Modded the combobox instrument to cater for a double numeric control and it works like a charm.
