Dropbox menu in multi column list box

[labviewette]

Dear community,

any easy way to include drop down menus in listboxes?

I had seen that there were suggestions to use QControls or XControls. Any elegant solutions that carved their way meanwhile?

You could have one drop-down menu control, for example a menu ring or combo box, that is normally hidden but you place where you click in the listbox. And when you have made the selection you update the listbox and hide the menu.

This is exactly what we do in our applications, but, I would not really call it "easy".

I think there have been ideas and recommendations on how to pimp up the possibilities of the listboxes for at least a decade now. Too bad these features haven't found their way into being implemented yet.

You could also use a .NET DataGridView control, which has the option of built-in drop downs, but using it is more complicated. You can see a wrapper library for it here: https://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW/OpenSource-Project-for-a-NET-Datagrid-for-LabVIEW/td-p/3183254

Worth a look. Thanks.
