Table introducing data manually

[Simbani]

I am using LabVIEW 8.5.

When introducing data manually (keyboard), if you push the Enter which is on the left of the Delate buttom, the cursor automatically jumps down to the next cell on the same column. However, if you push the Enter belonging to the extended numeric keyboard, the cursor does not move at all. 

Does anyone knows, what to do so that the cursor jumps down when pushing the Enter on the numeric pad?

Simbani,

You can implement this behavior programmatically using the Event Structure. The attached VI gives an example of how to do this.

Christian,

Thanks a lot

I have programmed, so that I´m able to move between cells, not only with the Enter key, but also with the arrows up, down, left and rigth.

May I ask you one question more ?.

My table is an string one with some 10 columns. In three of them, the user should input only numeric data (DBL and I32). Do you know how to program, to avoid the user introducing other characters but nubers in these specific columns?
