LabVIEW 8.2 Multicolumn Listbox Edit Cell Event Bug

I've observed an odd behavior with the "Edit Cell?" event with multicolumn listboxes. If the "Edit Position" is set when clicking on the listbox and the "Edit Cell?" event is trapped with discard set to false, when clicking outside of the list box, previous edits are lost. I have attached a simple example of this bug.

Thank you for the update Fran.
I lost my bet and you earned your stars.
So it sounds like the issue was the multiple event structures alone.
I just like to keep track of what the final fixes are.

Edit Cell Events in ALV Grid

Hi All,
I am using the REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY Function Module to display data in grid and make a column editable using EDIT = 'X' in the fieldcat.Depending on the value in the Column some other column value should change.But the grid values are not getting refreshed.Is there any way to catch the event when the user enters the value in the grid and presses the ENTER button.
I have an idea of how to handle this situation in case of objects but using Function how can I do this?
Thanx in advance.

hi, Samson
At first, I must to say I'm very glad to hear that my suggestion is helpful to you.
About the problem on 'DATA_CHANGED'.
You mentioned that 'through a Function Call in which all the other events like TOP OF PAGE'.
I guess the FM is 'REUSE_ALV_EVENTS_GET', right?
hehe, if so, dono't worry, my friend.
you can do like following:
CALL FUNCTION 'REUSE_ALV_EVENTS_GET'
       EXPORTING
            I_LIST_TYPE     = 0
       IMPORTING
            ET_EVENTS       = ITAB_EVENTS
       EXCEPTIONS
            LIST_TYPE_WRONG = 1
            OTHERS          = 2.
CLEAR STR_EVENTS.
STR_EVENTS-NAME = SLIS_EV_DATA_CHANGED.
STR_EVENTS-FORM = <b>'DATA_CHANGED'</b>.
APPEND STR_EVENTS TO ITAB_EVENTS.
CALL FUNCTION 'REUSE_ALV_EVENTS_GET'
       EXPORTING
            I_LIST_TYPE     = 0
       IMPORTING
            ET_EVENTS       = ITAB_EVENTS
       EXCEPTIONS
            LIST_TYPE_WRONG = 1
            OTHERS          = 2.
FORM <b>DATA_CHANGED</b> USING RR_DATA_CHANGED TYPE REF TO CL_ALV_CHANGED_DATA_PROTOCOL.
ENDFORM.
Through you can't find the entry about DATA_CHANGE in 'REUSE_ALV_EVENTS_GET' return, you can add a entry manually by yourself. SAP will care this event.
The FORM will be triggered when the edited cell lost focus.
You can have a try, hope it will be helpful.
thanks

Edit Calendar Event Bug

I have created a repeating event on iCal on my iMac. If a repeating event is edited on either the iPhone or iPad, and you select the change for all future events option, it will make the change for that event ONLY,then DELETE all future events completely. Does anyone have a work-around for this

UPD. if i'm trying to rename the event, i have an option to save for the current event only. But if i'm trying to change type of schedule: from all-day to exact time, i have only the option to save for all future events!

Generate Listbox Edit Event

Hello,
I am using a multicolumn listbox to allow a user to edit and view channel information. They add new channels and rename them through editing the cell, which I monitor using an event structure. I added a function to watch for the "tab" key, which will move the edit position over one column, just like users are used to in Excel. However, I am having trouble, because when they hit the tab key, the "edit cell" event doesn't get generated, and the entry from the column to the left is lost. Basically, the item names don't get updated unless the user presses "Enter" to accept the edit of the current cell.
Is there a way to generate the edit event for that listbox, or to otherwise save the edit before moving on to the next column? I know that tables can accomplish this pretty easily, but I didn't go that way for other reasons that made the development harder.
Thanks,
Rob

Normally, you'll get a value changed event when you hit tab. So if you catch the tab key, and manually skip to the next cell, you don't get that. In fact, you still get the value change event, but only after the table looses focus.I guess you found out about that...
If you still want to trigger the value change event, you can simply read the value of the table (with a property or local) and put it in a "value (signalling)". Then, the value changed event will be triggered.
The only difference is that the old value will be the same as the new value. You can get around that by manually buffering the old value in the value event. So you'll have another table with the old value, and update it only when the value changed event is called. If you need the old value, of course.

Wiebe.

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

Teimur,
I would suggest posting this question to the LabVIEW Discussion Forum instead of DSC. You will be posting to the group that has more detailed knowledge on these aspects of LabVIEW.

Help - Edit cell of a multicolumn listbox at run time

Hi All,
I am populating rows and columns of a multicolumn listbox from a file at run time. However, after the data is loaded in the listbox I want to have the option of changing cell value.
Can I do that? If so, how?
I appreciate your time and help.
Thanks,
Mim

Hi,
You have to use the property item names witch is a 2D string array.
Then replace the elements you want to change in that array and write it back to the table.
Check attachment.
Hope it helps,

Edit cell in multicolumn listbox is slow

Hi,
I want to make an editable multicolumn listbox where users can make a derivation of channels, using -1 en 1 to subtract channels. Now when i set the multiclomumn listbox to editable cells, it takes a least one second (in run-time) to actually input something into the cell??
Also, how can get the clicked cell, position?? I can't get it out of the "Active cell" property node? I want to pop up a dialog when clicking on the cell, that i can fill it's value..
Anyone knows how to speed this up?
Best regards,
Thijs
Solved!
Go to Solution.

It seems like the problem is getting the cell selected, not actually changing it. Try adding a "Value Change" event case for the listbox. Use the Coords property to get the coordinates of the changed cell, increment the column by one and then set this value to the EditPos property. This may help alleviate the problem, though the user will have to edit the columns in order and press <ENTER> after each cell.

How can I justify text in a multicolumn listbox cell dynamically

I use a multicolumn listbox with two columns to display an event list. Then number of events is different and can exceed the number of displayed rows. I need to justify the text in the first column to right dynamically.
Is there any way?

I would split the listbox in two different listboxes, each one with its specific format (make it static).

Listbox set to NOT editable cells; EditRow property seems to override

Hi All,
I have several listboxes that I programmatically set to Editable Cells or not, depending on the runtime status. When I have it turned OFF, I do not want the user to be able to edit the text values in the cells.
However, I have a RTM for the listbox with an "Edit" option. That menu item sets the EditRow property (after setting Key Focus) to the selected row. This makes the text editable, even if I have it turned OFF!!
This is not the behaviour I expected. Is this a bug?

Could you provide the code that you are seeing this occur in? Its almost impossible to see if this is a bug without some example. The simpler the example the better.
It is possible that it is a bug, but it's also possible that you are setting the cell to edit mode after you set it to lock. I am wondering why you are doing that? Its most likely that you want to edit some cells but keep others locked from editing, and I do not think that is a bug, however, it might be a good product suggestion to keep certain cells permanently locked from the user, which is probably not the case with the lock function you are using (which most likely can be over ridden by other property nodes).

Editing entries in multicolumn listbox

I am using a multicolumn listbox to display test parameters - ie columns of step number, temperature and time data. I read a previously created test matrix and update the listbox items names using the property node.
Is it possible to do the reverse - ie edit the item names while the app is running and save a new test matrix from the modified listbox?
Thanks,
Niel.

It seems impossible to edit list in the running time. However, could you try to use string table to do that?

How to make editing cell to show up caret and taking keyboard event

Hello everyone:
I have the following problem with table editing.
1. using mouse clicking, the editing cell will have cursor and taking keyboard event.(no problem with it)
2. just type in data, it will show up in the selected cell, but the editing cell do not have cursor visible and also do not fire the keyboard event.
I have problem with this one. So how to make editing cell to have caret visible and taking keyboard event.
Thank you very much!
--tony

Hi,
you should subclass JTable and overwrite two methods.
1. protected boolean processKeyBinding(javax.swing.KeyStroke ks,
java.awt.event.KeyEvent e,
int condition,
boolean pressed)
to store the current keyboard event,
2.public boolean editCellAt(int row,int column,java.util.EventObject e)
to fix the problem with isCellEditable and curret position and direct the event into proper place.

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!
