Migration of multicolumn listbox from 7.1.1 to 8.5

I recently migrated a VI containing a multicolumn listbox from LV 7.1.1 to LV 8.5. Interestingly the 3D-headers got lost and the hight of the rowes changed.
Left in the picture is the LV 7.1.1 version and right is the LV 8.5 version. The font is set to Lucida Console 14 bold.
I got CAR 119444 for this conversion bug.

Hi Vicky,
No worries my friend
We have not done this upgrade and do not have any current plans to do so. I am
always, always, always slow to move along the upgrade path. This may be a bad thing
but it has saved us some great pain as well over the years. Our current versions are;
CUCM - 7.1(3b)su2
CUC - 7.1(3b)su2
We have found these versions to be very stable. I have spent a fair bit of time looking at people's
migrations to 8.5(x) here @ CSC and have not seen or heard of too many horror stories. This is one bug you'll
want to look out for.
CSCtn61453            Bug Details
Applying 8.5.1 software as patch results in corrupted CUC installation.
Symptom:
After fresh installation of 8.5.1 software, we can notice several problem symptoms.
- Connection services and Connection DB does not start
- System cannot be accessed via web page
- Informix error messages for certain CLI commands
Example :- show cuc cluster status
com.informix.asf.IfxASFException: Attempt to connect to database server (ciscounity) failed.
Command failed
Conditions:
It is observed during fresh installation of Unity Connection product when installation was
started with earlier version of software and 8.5.1 software was applied as a patch during the setup process.
Workaround:
First, perform a fresh installation of earlier version of software using the install media. Then after verifying the installation, proceed with the upgrade to 8.5.1 as a separate process.

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,

How to read 'clicked header' AND selected row from multicolumn listbox?

I have a multicolumn listbox filled with 6 columns and about 500 rows.
I want the user to be able to click on a column header, and sort the listbox alphabetically on that column. I've written the code for that, and that works. (using the 'itemnames' en 'get clicked col hdr' properties.)
However, I also want to include the option, that when a user highlights a row, and then clicks on the header, that after the listbox gets sorted it scrolls down to the selected row.
(So that the user doesn't have to search for it)
And that's where things go wrong, because the value of the listbox changes to zero when you click on a column header. No I idea why it does that, but it's rather
annoying. Can I change that behaviour somehow?
Or any ideas how to get around it?

My thanks to you and Jared.
Seems I got a working solution now.
Did take a while to figure out why your solution worked. Basicly, you're reading the row from a few iterations before.
As soon as I understood that, I simplified it a little. Look at the attached file... I think it does the same. :-)
Jared asked for the sorting routine. As I don't seem to be able to attach files when replying to comments, I took the liberty to include it here also.
Basicly, I just use the 'sort 1D array' that comes with Labview 6. To be able to sort a 2D array, I convert every row to a cluster. That's something the 'sort 1D array' VI can handle nicely.
To sort on the correct column, I just cut all columns in front, and paste them behind again. A
fter sorting, I reverse the process.
Anthony.

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!

Is there a way to extract data from one of e.g. 7 rows from the multicolumn listbox?

is there a way to extract data from one of e.g. 7 rows from the multicolumn listbox?

All the data can be extracted by creating a property node and read the Item Names property...then you get a 2D array of all the rows and columns. Wire that array into an index array function and input the row you want (e.g. the listbox value, if you want the row currently selected...)...that's it. See attached example.

CSV from Multicolumn Listbox

Currently, I have a User Input Promt delivering values to a Multicolumn Listbox.
I need, when a value is True (externally from the while loop), for the multicolumn listbox to spit out the top cued value as a Comma Seperated Value (CSV) string.
Example:
1. External value is true
2. Upper most row of values from listbox taken and placed into CSV string
3. String sent out of while loop (external)
Thank You,
Jim

CSV from Multicolumn Listbox.vi ‏64 KB

Which part are you having problems with, since it's not clear:
Accessing the first row - You already have the 2D array in the loop, so not sure why you would want to pull the data from the listbox, as that's been formatted to 2 decimal places, so you'd lose accuracy.
Converting to a comma-delimited string - Use the Array to Spreadsheet String function. See attached pic for example.
Getting notified of this external value - This depends on what's generating this external value. You can use a queue, or a simple global.
Tip: You should separate the handling of the Stop button from the handling of the button to add a row. In your implementation if you click Stop you're forced to see the dialog to enter a value, even though you're trying to stop.

Write multicolumn listbox value from subvi whitout reference

Hi:
Is it anyway to write data to multicolumn list box from subVI without pass in reference? Because if pass in reference I have to pass a lot.
Like I can use Open VI Reference together with "Set Control Value" to set a String indicator text. But I can't find the way to use open vi reference to set the multicolumn listbox text, I only can highlist which row.
Thank.

One thing you could do:
Write the multicolumn listbox reference to an indicator in your main VI. In the SubVI read that indicator value and unflatten it into a multicolumn listbox reference. Then you'll have the reference available in the SubVI as if you had passed it.

Images in Multicolumn Listbox doesn't work as expected

In the attached example, the symbols are getting displayed in the correct order but missing the symbol for the first row. I can manually select the symbol but by default only the 2nd symbol from the provided array list appear.
Any idea what's the issue?
How to display correct symbol?
Thanks in advance.

Hello, Vidula
It seems that index 0 is reserved for the empty symbol, no matter what custom symbol you provided. Adding one image in front before setting symbols array and incrementing ItemSyms indexes solves this problem. However, I can't find any information about this in documentation, which would be nice

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 do you autosize column widths in a multicolumn listbox?

I know that it's possible to autosize row height, but I can't find anything relating to autosizing column widths in a multicolumn listbox. This makes what I'm doing difficult, because I want to be able to have dynamic content and won't know beforehand how wide to make the columns. Therefore, I need to do it programatically or find something already built in.
Thanks for your help!

I did an example along the lines of the suggestions above and it works pretty well. I'll attach it here. Note that this only works for 13pt font. If you want to scale this example to include larger font, then you can get that information from the cell height property, which does autoscale by default. The cell height is usually about 2 larger than the font size (i.e. 13pt font = 15 cell height, 24 pt font = 26 height).
This example is written in LV7.0. What would really be cool is if someone would write an XControl for LV8 that would do all this automatically and require no extra block diagram code! If only I had the time...

Is it possible to make a line of a multicolumn listbox active?

I currently have data entered into multicolumn listbox. While the program is running, is it possible for a row of the listbox to be selected and then give the index number of that row? From there I will want to use that index number to reference other arrays, but right now I'm just dealing with getting the index number I need from the user's row selection.

The I32 is the default numeric constant, I didn't see the need to change it for this purpose.
You missed my point. The output datatype of the Value property node is an I32. You are wiring to an I32 indicator, but shoving it through a TypeCast function. This is pointless.

Disable horizontal scroll in multicolumn listbox

I'm using a Multicolumn listbox and I programmatically change the cell to be edited using UP, DOWN, RIGHT and LEFT keyboard keys.
Everything is working exept for the rightmost column: when I press the RIGHT key, the cursor moves to the next cell inside the rightmost column but all the table scrolls to the right (even if not really necessary) preventing the user from seeing the first column (leftmost). Is it possible in some way to lock or totally disable the horizontal scroll?
Every idea would be welcome.

I don't think there's a way to completely disable scrolling (once you ask the MCLB to show you a cell, it will probably do whatever it can to show it to you), but you can start by making the scrollbar invisible and by setting the Top Left Visible Cell property to [X, 0] every time you move a cell. If this doesn't work, you should upload your code. We play better when we have what to work with.

How to hide multiple columns in multicolumn listbox like as an excel sheet?

Hello All,
I have large amount of data that is to be displayed on multicolumn listbox. After displaying that, I want to hide or delete some columns from listbox in runtime.
I know how to hide one column using active cell property node. But I want to hide multiple columns. I am using LabVIEW 2011.
Thanks in advance.
Thanks & Regards,
Manisha

Thank you so much.
But I have total 12 columns and I don't want to delete columns serially. I want to delete inbetween columns, like in attached VI I want to delete column A & D only.
And in this user have to select it from frontpanel. I want this is to be done as in excel, like we select the entire column and either we hide it or delete it. One more thing I want to clear the data in multicolumn when I next time open my VI. How to do that?
I hope am clear in explaining my problem.
Thanks & Regards,
Manisha

Auto adjust column width in multicolumn listbox

Hi
May I know, does multicolumn listbox has a function / control to auto adjust the column width? If not, how can I solve this problem, as user could not view the full data if the width that I set is too small. It would be annoying if the user need to adjust it manually each time they get the data from database....
Any advise??? TQQQQQ......

Hello 222,
I've already seen a few threads about "auto adjust multi-column listbox column width", as far as I can remember, there is not such option in LV 7.1 (I don't know about LV 8).
Meanwhile I think there are option that can allow the user the modify column width at runtime. This plus an horizontal scrollbar should be the alternative... I know it is not "perfect" for the user.
You also have the possibility to do a function that will compare the string length to the column width, and to programatically increase the width if needed.
Personnaly I wouldn't go for this but this is your choice
