How to control string by program in multicolumn listbox (color, justify, style, size).

It necessary because the dimension of the multicolumn listbox change when the program running and all cells must have the same apearance
Thank you very much beforehand for your answer.
Warmly,
Alain Carbonnel

I don't think it is currently possible to do this programmatically. You loose the ability to control the text properties of a string programmatically when you put it in any kind of array.

  • How can I automatically word wrap a string placed in a (multicolumn) listbox ?

    Hello,
    Using LabView 7.0:
    I need to automatically wrap text inserted in a multicolumn listbox.
    The size of the listbox is fixed and I don't know the legth of the string that will be inserted. But the whole string must be visible, because it's Information is important
    I'm not allowed to use a fixed width font. :-(
    Has anyone any ideas (or a solution already?)
    How can I compute the length of a string in pixel to calculate to position to wrap?
    Thanks in advance,
    best regards,
    Rainer

    Hi Veena,
    The trick is to use the Get Text Rect.vi to calculate where to wrap your text string. There's no feature to automatically wrap the string for you, so you will have to split you string into sections/lines, that doesn't exceed the width of the column in the listbox.
    Good luck!

  • How can I calbrate your program with my screen colors when printing

    I need to calbrate adobe acrobat 9 pro to print the colors that show on my screen, How can I do that?

    This is a huge subject, and there are whole books on the subject. So this is just a very oversimplified idea.
    The idea of calibration is to match everything against what I will call "master colours". Once your monitor is calibrated, software knows how to convert master colours into your monitor colours, and similarly colours for printing can be converted from master colours to printer colours.
    But this doesn't make all colours the same. Printers can't print the same colours as you see on a monitor; all of the really bright colours are lost. It may be that if you've calibrated your monitor, that things are already as close as they are going to get.
    If the monitor is calibrated, and Windows or Mac OS knows about that, then Acrobat will already be using that information. So the screen should look accurate. Non-PostScript printers will generally try their best to match these colours too without your needing to do anything. That's why I asked if you have a PostScript printer.

    Hello muks,
    I would like to come up with the function like below picture:
    the multicolumn listbox include 5 columns, the fifth column is hex format. I want to add the row one by one after each cycle, meanwhile there's a button that can clear the contents in the multicolumn listbox.
    So the challenge for me is how to concatenate the different format into one array. then how to insert the row one by one.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Entries into Multicolumn Listbox/Safing Data in .txt-file

    Hello. I haven't found anything helpful for my problem or better to say problems. I have to do a task that I have no idea how to solve. It isn't helping that I was never good with programming. Here is what I have up till now:
    I want to write seven strings indivudally into a multicolumn listbox with seven columns. The first shall be a running number, increasing for every row. For this I'm using right now a Case Structure. And there is my first problem. I don't know how to realize that whenever a row is completed the next string is written into the next row instead of overwriting one in the completed row.
    This has to go one for as long as the user wants to. Then there has to come a Pop Up Window - if that's the correct term - and shall ask the user if he/she wants to safe the created list into a textfile. And that's my next problem. I have no idea how to program that.
    I know it's probably rather easy to program these things in LabVIEW 8.0 (which I'm using) but as I've already said I'm anything but good in programming at all and to make things even more complicated I don't want to do this task, therefore not putting all my energy into it as a result.
    Please, can someone here help me?

    Does it have to be a multicolumn ListBox?
    Seems like a table might be more appropriate, if it's only for display purposes.
    Either way, you need to use a FOR loop inside a FOR loop to generate a 2-D array of strings.
    The INNER loop generates the strings for each column in a row, the OUTER loop generates each row.
    You wire the 2-D array directly to a TABLE indicator, or to the ITEM NAMES property of a ListBox.

    Hallo all,
    Matt thank you for the answer.
    Unfortunately I must change behavior of listbox and may be there is way to change it programmatically?
    For example, catch KEYFOCUS event from listbox then get selected line , make array with lines you want to be highlighted and then write back
    in listbox.
    But it is not really nice solution and also there is problem that it is not possible to select lines for example 1, 3, 7, now all lines between 1 and 7 will be highlighted.
    May be somebody know better way how to do it.
    P.S.
    I attached example in case somebody has time and willingness to look at it and give idea.
    Thanks, Teimur

  • Drag and drop from Multicolumn listbox to another Multicolumn Listbox

    how do i drag and drop from Multicolumn listbox to another Multicolumn Listbox?/...any example..
    use LABVIEW 8.2.1
    regard's
    eyal.

    To drag and drop within the target listbox you'll have to add a Drag Starting? event for the target listbox and register that drag data with a different adn unique Drag Data Name, then in the Drag Enter? event check for that data name as well before accepting the event, and then in the Drop? event for the target listbox handle the new data name as well. You can use the Point to Row Column invoke method to determine which row, column, or cell is being manipulated. I've created a VERY crude example of this, but you'll have to get more creative with how you handle the moving of rows, columns, etc. for the target listbox, but I think it gives the general idea. Hope this helps!

  • How to control a NI USB 6210 from a Lab View program?

    Hi,
    I started today with Lab View with some earlier experience long ago.
    While it took me only about half an hour to get my first program running (great), installation time nor included (of course), I meanwhile read documents for some hours and cannot find out how to control measurement hardware in Lab View.
    I want to use a USB 6210 to set a 1-bit digital port. But at the moment there is no USB6210 available so I wanted to write (or do you say draw ?) the program without it and if possible simulate the hardware.
    I drew DAQ Assistant into my block diagram and selected digital line output but get "No supported devices found". I don't know if the appropriate driver was installed during Lab View installation.
    Also I don't understand the mechanism between DAQmx, tasks and the real hardware. Now I have a "Digital Bool 1Line 1Point" Control in my block diagram. How do signals get from program flow to hardware pin? How can I create a simulation for not connected hardware?
    Any help is greatly welcome
    Thanks a lot
    Martin

    Launch MAX, it was known as Measurement and Automation Explorer, there should be a shortcut in your start menu / desktop.  Under devices and interfaces you can find your hardware and open test panels to control it.  This is the first place to ensure your hardware is working.  If the device isn't seen you'll need to install the drivers and DAQmx software.  If it is there, great.
    Now launch LabVIEW.  The easiest way to control hardware is using the DAQ Assistant.  It has many limitations and isn't recommended for large applications.  But for something quick and dirty it works fine.  You'll find it under the Measurement I/O >> NI DAQmx palette on the block diagram.  If it isn't there you may need to reinstall the DAQmx drivers.  This can happen if you installed DAQmx before LabVIEW.
    Also you'll find under Help >> Find Examples on the toolbar, many examples on controlling hardware.  Feel free to post some code if  you are having problems.

  • How to read a current line in table control in dialoug program ?

    How to read a current line in table control in dialoug program ?
    this code required to provide F4 help.

    Hi,
    You can use the variable <tablecontrol>-Currentline as Ebus says but there is a problem with this.Suppose there are 10 records in the table control with only 5 records visible then when u press a page down and press F4 the first record in page 2,  <tablecontrol>-Currentline will have value of 1 instead of 6.So you will need to write a small logic for that.
    index = ( <tablecontrol>-topline - <tablecontrol>-currentline ) + 1.
    read internal table itab at index.
    Hope this helps.

    Firefox 6 will not load when I click the icon. I have tried to uninstall it, both through the control panel and going straight to help.exe. In both cases nothing happens. How do I uninstall this program?

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    See:
    * [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
    * [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    * Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    * Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

  • How do you drag and drop columns in a multicolumn listbox?

    Hello,
    Im trying to have a multicolumn listbox setup so that you could select a column, and drag it to another location so that the use would be able to rearrnage the table if they so pleased. I've tried looking for a few different ways to do this, but I havent found anything yet. Is there a way that this can be done?
    Thanks,
    Mark

    Hey, see the attached examples.  I modified the example mentioned earlier.  You basically use a invoke node to get the position of the mouse cursor when the drag starts.  This allows you to know what column you are dragging.  Then you do the same when the "drop" event happens.  This allows you to know where you want to drop the event.  Then you have to program in the change in the listbox's strings.  That is at least how I have done it in the past.
    Let me know if this helps.
