Is there way to display multi color text in text box

[Vishi Anand]

Like the listbox using escape codes, where different lines have different
colors? I can't use Listbox as it does not allow horizontal scrolling and I
don't have enough space on the front panel.

Not that I know of. However there is a way to display multi color entries in the ListBox. I'm not sure which one you are using but I'd suggest you look at the shipping example samples\userint\listdelx.prj. It handles escape codes and multi-color entry.

Although Listbox does not have a built-in horizontal scroll bar, you can use TOOLSLIB scrollbar control to add a custom horizontal scroll bar on Listbox. Here is the link to the example that demonstrates how to use TOOLSLIB scrollbar control:

Please note that checkmarks probably will not scroll, though.

Thanks again.

For some reason I haven't found it easy to use NI's search features on
Discussion Forums. It's not like standard search they way you do on yahoo or
google.
