Multi column listbox or table?

[Roger Montague]

Hi Gang,

I haven't worked much with "fancy" user panels in LV.  I need to create a "browsing" page when I want to add/delete/edit rows.  One of the functions I'd like to include is a "click-to-pick" to select a row.

So I don't start down a blind alley, I'd like to get suggestions on whether the multi-column listbox or the table control is better for this.

Thanks in Advance!

Roger

I'd like a bit more information about your application. From what I understand you want the capability of adding, deleting and editing rows while the VI is running? For the "click-to-pick", you want to be able to select a row and then run an event? Or when you click your item to highlight the row?

Hi, Stephanie!

Thanks for replying!  Sorry I didn't reply sooner, I've been out for a couple of days.

I want to click on a row in the list to open a dialog box to edit the full record.  If this were .net, I'd say I'd want to use the on-click event.

My experiments have shown that I can do this with the table ojbect (ahem) VI. 

Thanks,

Roger
