Multicolumn list box selection of Complete Row

Hi guys ,
I want to know that is there a way to select a complete Row from MultiColum List Box Or Table on the Front Penal and then paste on the next row. Its kinda same as microsoft Excel when you select a complete row and coloum and then paste it back to any other row or column and all the values are pasted. The program i am working on requires me to write bunch of values all together in the multi column list box and then copy the same values with jsut a little change(maybe in just one column) and then write them again ..
Thanks
Regards

Its just array manipulation if I understand your question right.

How do i get the data present in the selected row at run time in Multicolumn list box?

Hi,
I am using multicolumn list box with three columns and i am having OK button.
If the user selects particular row and then press ok then that row datas(that 3 values) has to get update in the file.
Can u tell me how to get that selected row values alone and also how to append the list box value at run time?
Thanks
Meenatchi

You can simply use the Value property of the MLBox to get the row selected & wire it to the Delete from array function with the Itemnames of the MLBox as the Input & Output of the Delate from array function.

You should look into the table for this.

Multicolumn list box, "operate value tool" and "active cell"

If I use the "operate value tool" to select a row
of the multicolumn list box, that row gets a dark blue background.
However, I cannot determine which property will tell me what is that row or let me
change that row number. It is not the active cel or "edit position".
I want to programatically change the selection just as the "operate value tool" does. I can change the background color of the cell but the dark blue of the cells selected by the "operate value tool" take precedence and hide my colors.
Extremely frustrated and wishing for Java or C++...

Your question title & the message you ve posted are contradictory to each other.
Normally a Multicolumn Listbox is a non-editable one, in that while you run you wont get the labeling tool to type some text.
I think you can instead use a Table to achieve your purpose. Also see the below link.

u ??
plz???
Please use full words and not text speak.
How did you customize the symbols in your constants? Do the same for the Listbox control.
To programmatically load custom symbols for the listbox control, there are some Invoke nodes that will let you do that such as Custom Items Symbols.Set Symbol Array

A couple of mistakes.
You initialize an array of 5 records with 10 elements instead of vice versa.
Dennis is right, use "spreadsheet string to array" instead. Here's a quick draft (note that the delimiter is set to \'codes, it's a space constant)
Is this loop interactive, i.e. does it need to update the records as the arrive with each iteration? If this is not the case, you should update the ItemNames only once after the loop has finished. For example as follows.

How can I have multiple-selection list box "select at least one checkbox" option active only when the section it's in is visible?

Hi, I'm using SP13 and InfoPath2013.
I created a custom form and published it to SP13 document library. This form has many MSLB. Depending on the checkboxes selected in the 1st MSLB, the other MSLB will either hide or show. Each MSLB is in its own section. The requirement
is to have each MSLB to have at least one checkbox selected. Well, the problem is that when that MSLB isnot checked in the 1st MSLB it is not visible and shouldn't require any checkbox to be selected. However, the form can't get submitted instead
an error dialog would pop up and ask user to make a selection for MSLB that is not even displayed. Is there any way to fix this besides unchecking all MSLB to be not required at least one selection? Thank you.

Eric,
I follow your reply post here and still doesn't work. I also noticed your screen shot of selecting a field is not the same as what I see in InfoPath 2013.
Here is what I did,
1.Check At least one selection required for
these Multiple-selection List Boxes
as you want .
2.Create a Formatting rule for the 2nd
Multiple-selection List Box.
3.Add a Condition as below:
4. I get a validation error if I don't
select at least one checkbox in the hidden MSLB control when submitting.
I think I'm following all the steps correctly
but please let me know if I'm not.

Passing column values to another tab if check box selected in that row

Hi
I have the following requirement.
I have a table that gets populated by a web service. Have added one more field to it which is a check box. Th requirement is that I need to pass the values of column (say id) from each row which has it's check box selected, as input parameters to a web service in another tab.
example: table has fileds id, name, address,checkbox. If there are 5 rows and the user select 1 and 2 then I need the ids of 1 and 2 to be passed to another tab.
Is this possible ........
Thanks

Hi
I just don't want to make multiple selection but pass the values of a column from the selected rows to another tab to be used as input parameters to a web service.
I want to know how to pass the values(of one filed) of the selected rows across tabs/switches.
Thanks

Trying to retrieve the editValue of a list box selection with multiple selections

I have a requirement to display the text and the value of a multiple choice list box but as soon as there are multiple selections the value displayed is the rawValue.
My code is something like this:
verifSubTaskDescID.addItem(this.editValue);
verifSubTaskDesc.addItem(this.rawValue);
When "this" which is a list box with ["a","first"],["b","second"] is set to a or b it works perfectly, displaying "a" in the ID and "first" in the Desc as follows:
a          first
OR
b          second
but when I select both this list looks like this:
first          first
second     second
Any ideas on how to preserve the letters without making the code too complex or hard to maintain??
Thanks!!!

Hi,
you can use a for loop to get all selected values from a choice list.
This could look like this.
This sample script goes to the exie event of the choice list.
It refers to the dataNode which holds the multiple values.
The for loop the then extracts the selected values and their associated display items.
var r = ""
for i = 0 upto $.dataNode.nodes.length - 1 do
          r = Concat(r, $.dataNode.nodes.item(i).value, " ", $.getDisplayItem(i + 1) )
endfor
Textfield1 = r

How do you get different check box fields to display based upon a list box selection?

I am a relative newbie with LifeCycle Designer ES using v.8.2.1 to create interactive forms to replace manual hardcopies. I am working on a form that has a few pull down list boxes. I want different check box fields to display based upon the selection of an item from one of the pull down lists.
Any guidance on the best way to accomplish this would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
Here is a sample with script in the change event of the dropdown. You may want to clear previous checkbox choices once the subform is hidden.
It is good to group objects in a subform - that way you only need to hide the subform and not each object in turn.
Good luck,
Niall

Programmatically reset BG colors in a MultiColumn List Box

Hi there,
I'm looking for an appropriate way of resetting the background colors of all cells within my listbox at once if possible. Using the Reset to Default invoke node reset the contents, but not the colors. I'd like to avoid setting all the cells to active cell sequentially and setting color afterwards.....
Any Ideas?
Cheers
Oli
Programming languages don't create bad code, programmers create bad code....

You can do it in up to 3 steps. If you aren't showing your row headers, you can take off the last step. Make sure you wire the error clusters so it does it in the right order. Seems 8.5 removed this from the context help, but a -2 indicates all rows or columns, so the first steo selects every cell in the table and sets it to white. -1 means the row or column headers. So in the second step, it selects the column header for all columns. The third step selects the row header for all rows. Both set the color to Classic Object.

Color Painting Slow on Multicolumn List Box

All,
I'm trying to use a multi column listbox to display test results. The test data has quite a few column, and I'd like to highlite any errors, problems or other interesting points with colored cells. The issue I'm having currently is that painting takes forever, and you can see it "tile" along as the SubVI runs. I've attacheda short video of the problem, is there a way I can defer updates of the control until the subvi changes the colors completes?
Regards,
Ken
