[Steven_huang]

Hello guys,

Thanks in advance for your reading...

 Enter characters for each cell in table is difficult,  i want to program to show a pull down menu when click the cell in the table, so i can easy to input the characters by click the item on the popup menu.

Thanks, Steven

There no direct way of "embedding" a control inside a table. As mentioned in this discussion, you can try to use right-click popup menus (by creating a custom run-time menu), detect where the mouse was clicked, and then entering the text into the table programmatically. An alternative solution is to use an ActiveX table control that's designed for this purpose.

Hi Tushar,

Great & neat work !

I wish to learn more about embedding rings in tables for my application. So, can U pl post Ur code saved for LV 7.1 for me too... ?

I wonder about the colours & neatness of Ur UIs [ VIs ], of course !

It'll be of great help if U can post the code here.

Mail me across parthabe@rediffmail.com. I'm from  Chennai, India.

Regards & Thanks.

Hello,

I'm just replying to know when the example code it's posted. It's a good idea and I also wanna know.

[Tushar_Jambhekar]

Here is the example code

Tushar,

FYI: You need to post the actual code. The "Drop Down Table" subVI that does all the work was saved without a block diagram, and hence cannot be opened in LabVIEW 8.2, or on other platforms.

Thank you, Tushar

I can not open it with LabView 82, it prompt that " VI revision 8.0 can't be convered to current revision 8.2 because it has not block diagram", Would you please post full code for us?

Thanks in advance, Steven
