Tree control or multicolum​n listbox vertical alignment

Hello, here is my problem: i use a tree and i need to resize it programmatically, so i change the height of all cells. When i resize it, there is no more vertical alignment between names(text) and tree's branchs.
This problem even occurs with multicolumn listbox: when i resize cells, the text is no more vertical centered....
Thanks a lot for any help

TreeVerticalAlignment.vi ‏15 KB

So, now it's 2011. It seems like this issue has not been addressed yet. Any good work arounds? I'm trying to have larger rows without extraordinarily large text. I am using multiple lines to get the desired effect; however, the item symbols are vertically aligned to the top, so they don't look good.
Thanks,
Chris

  • Tree control bug for vertical scrollbar

    Dear all:
    I meet a problem with  tree control  vertical scrollbar.Pls check the picture
    If set the rows of the properties of the Tree control is a number, also set the vertical scroll bar is visible.
    Then if i set the height  of Tree is unchangeable, then set the Tree childs rows are  much more than the height, The problem is that  the vertical scroll bar doesn't work. The height is increase than what i have set ,Maybe it is a bug? or not.
    Anybody find this?

    I works fine with me.
    But I added my test as attachment, so you can see if you maybe doing something else.

  • How to design a listbox or tree control related to the database

    Now i have a problem to design a listbox or tree control, it is designed to connect to the database, if the related element in database changed, the element in listbox or tree control should also change. i have managed to read the element in database, but i cannot input it to the listbox or tree control, since it has no input terminal that i can only use the Labeling tool and enter text into it.
    is there any advise on it, maybe i can use another control rather than listbox or tree control. any suggestion would be appreciate.
    Thank you

    Hi Xuy,
          On the front-panel, right-click on the text-ring control and select: Create\Property Node.
    Then, on the diagram, right-click on the property-node and select "Strings[]".
    The "strings[]" property is the array of strings available in the control - and you can change it.
    Cheers!

  • How can I display and change built-in symbols of a tree control programmatically?

    I want to set the built-in symbols of a tree control during runtime.
    I only found an example to assign custom pictures but not how to select one of the 40 built-in symbol.
    Many Thanks 
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    The ActiveItem.SymbolIndex will allow you to select the symbol for the active item. You can use the ListBox Symbol Ring Constant (Dialog and User Interface palette) to select a symbol (or you can just enter the number directly if you know what it is).

  • Label display issue in Tree component when it is having vertical scrollbar

    I am using tree component as dropdown factory for combo box. When i open dropdown, it doesn't have vertical scrollbar and all the root nodes are getting displayed correctly(in closed mode). Now if i try to open any node, i am getting vertical scrollbar as the child nodes are more. Now the problem is if scroll down, some of the nodes(labels) are not getting displayed but i am able to see the icon. If i keep on scrolling bottom to top and top to bottom, some of the nodes are showing labels and some are not(It is inconsistant).
    I have not used any custom item renderer for tree control. I used my custom dataDescriptor which i have implemented from ITreeDataDescriptor. Also I tried extending DefalutDataDescriptor, but no luck.

    Does it work if the tree is not in a combobox?

  • How can I drag and drop an item from one Tree control to another in LabVIEW 7.1?

    You can use the mouse up and down event on the two tree controls but the problem is making the correct selection in the second tree control. I want to be able to switch over to the selection bar of the second tree control so that I can place my item in the correct position. I know all possible workarounds with double-clicks and so on... but I really want a windows drag and drop.
    This is what I have for the moment. Please check the library below. I need to activate the selection bar of the second tree control somehow to get the position in the control. The VI below is written in LV 7.1

    Drag&Drop.llb ‏65 KB

    Hi Jones,
    As far as I know this feature is currently not supported by the Tree control. A workaround, would be to use the vertical position of the mouse in the button up event to determine what line you�re dropping the item.
    If you would like the Tree control to include the drag and drop feature, please submit this as a Product Suggestion under the feedback at www.ni.com/contact.
    Good luck!

  • Add multiple elements to a tree control at once

    I am using a Tree Control to display customer and certificate information. However, adding 500 customer names or certificate numbers to the tree control one at a time takes for ever (well, 30000 ms). Is there any way to add multiple elements to a tree all at once, or is the only solution to use a listbox with 'forward' and 'back' buttons ?
    thanks,
    michael

    Hi Michael
    I don’t believe there is a way to supply a list of child items to a parent item, they have to be added incrementally. One way that you could speed this process up is to design your code such that only when you expand an item does it add the child items.
    If you want an even higher update rate have a look at using the ActiveX TreeView control, you will find an example called Family Tree.vi in the LV examples.
    I'll do up some code that makes using both of the controls more efficient if enough people want it.

  • Vertical Alignment in table columns

    Using JHeadstart 10.1.3.4.
    Different display types are differently positioned in table columns. Single text seems vertically centered; text fields with multiple lines are vertically aligned at the top of a table column; vertical radio buttons are vertically aligned at the bottom of a table column. The resulting display is quite messy.
    I have not found any formating option in JHeadStart that allows for controlling vertical alignment. Am I a missing something?
    If JHeadStart 10g does not support controlling vertical alignment directly, how should this be handled? Does JHeadStart 11g add such vertical alignment support?

    Hello,
    If you need anything special considering vertical alignment in tables, you can simply perform that in the resulting JSPX page. In other words, just alter the JSPX file to whatever you need.
    Save your customizations in JHeadstart using velocity templates, so your page is regenerateable while keeping your changes. See the JHeadstart Developers Guide on how to change such customizations in the templates.
    Also in release 11 there is no vertical alignment (yet); I suppose because for most tables, each row just has a single line and vertical alignment is therefore not needed. However, I have put it on the wish-list, so we will check on it later. Thanks!

  • Populate flex tree control on demand using HTTPService (Flex 3)

    First, I am sorry if the same post is already posted here but after spending 30 minutes or may be more I could not find the solution.
    By the way I have two problems. 1.) I am new to flex which I know if my own problem and soon I will handle it.
    2.) This is major problem for me. I have to populate Tree control from database and I used HTTPService to get the data from database.
    I created a object of HTTPService and on load of Tree control I am calling a function which calls the HTTP URL and returns me the first level of node for my Tree.
    When I click on any node a function is called again using HTTPService and result is appended to the currently selected node. The same goes until n level and it works fine. I was happy with my results. I am stuck in new problem. The problem is if the tree is already populated on my browser and I make some add/update/delete any node or child node, the flex doesn't make a call to HTTP URL and I am not getting updated data.

    Thanks buddy for the answer.
    Unfortunately the answer came after quite long time of posting the message. Anyway I was able to open a tree on demand using HttpService and due to my new requirement I changed it to RemoteObject.
    I my latest change I am able to populate tree nodes on demand and also the same solution if getting update from server via JMS using Consumer object.
    I kind a like this solution because it took me good amount of effort to find the right solution.
    If any one is intersted the he/she can reply to the post and I can provide code here or may at some location so that it can be easily downloaded.
    The solution is Flex-Grails combination.
    Thanks everybody.

  • Numeric cell in Tree control ?

    Hi y'all !
    I'd like to have numeric input cells in my TREE CONTROL. I can see the types string, ring, combo box, etc. ... but NUMERIC is not included.
    I'm using CVI 2012.
    Is there an alternative or does anyone know at least why it is not supported ?
    Thanks!

    Hi carolynturnell,
    Indeed cell types included in a tree control are String,Ring, ComboBox, CheckBox, ColorPicker and HorizontalBar.
    Tree controls are used to view a hierarchical list of items.
    Why do you want to display Numeric/use tree control ?

  • Losing table vertical alignment when converting ditamap to book

    FrameMaker Version: 12.0.4.445 (latest, part of TCS5)
    I have a structured project, where several XML files have been arranged into a ditamap.
    For one of the XML files, I have a table, where I need to set Cell Vertical Alignment of the cells to MIDDLE.
    So using Paragraph Designer > Table Cell, I change the entries from Top to Middle (The defaults were Top).
    With the ditamap pane selected, I then go File menu >> Save Ditamap As
    I save the ditamap as "Book 12.0 with fm components (*.book)" file type.
    In the resulting book, the XML files are now .FM files.
    However, at this point, when I open the .FM file that has the table, the cell styles have reverted to TOP.
    I've searched high-and-low for a similar issue. This is looking like a bug to me, but can someone confirm?
    Thanks

    (Perhaps the moderator should move this to the FrameMaker Integration discussion (under RoboHelp).
    I've determined the correct settings for my purposes, that being vertical alignment in a FM-to-RH integration project. I originally thought it was specifically a FrameMaker issue, though the solution also involves settings in RoboHelp. Here are my findings:
    1. For the selected FM table, note its Table Tag in the Table Designer (e.g., FormatA). This will be used later.
    2. If there is table Entry > Image element, then select the Image element, and set its placement attribute = inline.
    Though inline is supposed to be the default, I found it necessary to state explicitly in order to control alignment of image within a RH table cell.
    3. Moving on from FM, in the CSS file that you are using with your RH project, suppose that you have defined your table as follows. Note that I'm using "CenterMiddle" as the title.
    table.CenterMiddle {
      width: 100% ! important ;  /* This forces the RH table to autofit the window */
      text-align: Center;
      font-family: "Adobe Garamond Pro";
      border-left-style: Solid;
      border-left-width: 1px;
      border-left-color: #000000;
      border-right-style: Solid;
      border-right-width: 1px;
      border-right-color: #000000;
      border-top-style: Solid;
      border-top-width: 1px;
      border-top-color: #000000;
      border-bottom-style: Solid;
      border-bottom-width: 1px;
      border-bottom-color: #000000;
    .CenterMiddle td {
      vertical-align: middle ! important ;  /* This forces the individual cells to align vertically */
      border-color: #000000;
      border-style: solid;
      border-width: 1px;
    4. Go to the RH project to which the FM project is linked.
    5. Go File menu > Project Settings.
    6. In the FrameMaker Document group, click Edit.
    7. Under FrameMaker Settings, locate the Table style that you noted in step (1), and set it to the name of your table from (3).
    At this point, you can update all the FM components in your RH project, and compile the RH project to get the desired results. In my case, I needed both text and images in the table cells to have vertical alignment = middle.

  • DateField value doesn't vertically align

    I am trying to use an mx DateField component, however, it appears that the selected date value isn't vertically aligned by default (within the label field of the DateField component) upon selection.
    There isn't a properly for 'verticalAlign' for this component.... how can I properly align within the DateField's label?
    Here is the code.... am I missing initial settings to get the alignment that I am looking for?
    <s:HGroup id="endGroup" width="100%">
        <mx:DateField id="endDate" width="100" change="validate(event)"/>
    </s:HGroup>
    Thanks,
    Muad'Dib

    wow!.... you're right.  I just assumed it was the default behavior of the control.  I copied and pasted my code into a new project and everything looks great.  So something a layer up is affecting my layout (I am one of many flex applications running on a particular service)... I will start looking in that direction!
    thanks,

  • Need help for tree control

    Hi everybody,
    I am getting a display problem with tree control. The tree
    control has a fixed height and width, and has quite a few nodes
    with different level of branches. When i have the tree fully
    expanded, then I am getting both horizontal and vertical scrolls.
    If I scroll down using vertical scrollbar and scroll right using
    horizontal scrollbar, I am able to see the tree node labels
    properly. But after that if I scroll up then the nodes that had got
    hidden due to the previous down scroll appear cut off.. the label
    is half way erased.
