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

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.

  • 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++...

    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

  • How do I make the particular column to editable one in the multicolumn list box?

    Hi,

    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.

  • 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.

    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.

  • 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

    Its just array manipulation if I understand your question right.

  • Color Painting Slow on Multicolumn List Box

    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?

  • Programmatically change selected cell/row of multicolumn listbox

    I want to programmatically change the selected cell of a multicolumn list box whose Selection Mode is set to Highlight Entire Row.  I would use this to be able to highlight which ever row of the listbox I choose to.  It would function in the same manner as if the user had clicked on a row to select it and highlight that particular row.  Setting the Active Cell does not accomplish this.

  • How do I select a cell in a multicolum​n list box and use scroll horizontal on th

    From an event structure, how do I select a cell in a multicolumn list box and use scroll horizontal on the front panel at the same time.  I can select a cell from the multicolumn in an event structure, but I cannot move the scroll bar on the front panel when the program is running.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I'm assuming you're referring to the scrollbar in the multicolumn listbox. What is your code doing when you select a cell? Can you please post your code so we can see the behavior you're describing? It's possible that you're blocking the event structure, as in performing some long operation in the event that's handling the cell selection. In this case the event structure has to wait until the event completes before being able to respond to the next event. You can configure the event to not lock the front panel while waiting for the event to complete.
