I have attached a pic which I got from another discussion. In that there is the selected item. I have been trying to find the selected item in labview 2011. I cant find it anywhere. Can you please help me access the selected item in labview 2011. Thank You.
The 'value' of the indicator of the Listbox is an array of the indexes of the selected items. The 'ItemNames' property is the array of strings that make up the list of items. I think (??) if the listbox is configured to only allow you to select one item, the value is a scalar, rather than an array.
As per the picture - you can get the names of the selected items by indexing the 'values' of the listbox from the ItemNames.
The 'selected items' and 'selected item names' in the picture are just indicators on the wires.
Sam is right, but to add to this I made some wrapping code to make an interface where selection on a listbox is done using checkboxes, and it can return an array of strings, which are the selected items.
I am sorry. I am not an expert in labview. I couldnot understand by indexing the 'values' of the listbox from the ItemNames. So could you please clarify. Thanking You.
I was just describing what is happening in the picture which you posted.
The 'Listbox' control contains an array of the indexes of the selected items. To get the names of those items (by index), you go through each of the selected items and get the name from the 'ItemNames' array (by index).
