channels drop-down list box

I'm trying to get some combo boxes to have their entries populated by a text file. I have read many entries of forum on 'string []' property, but he refuses to work for me. I want the combo box is editable by changing the entries in a text file.

Does anyone can beat this code into submission? I get this error message on a controller GPIB needing to be in charge.

I've included the vi, the text file, I want to fill the combo box 'Version number' and that it should be.

You have several issues General, but here are the ones affecting your drop-down list box:

  1. In general, if you make copies of OR provided files, use new names.
  2. The VI you changed to read strings from the worksheet is bad DEFAULT.  You have the number of lines, by default 4 and start playback offset set by default to 132.  You get the error is because the file is not 132 bytes of data.  Definition of those to-1 and 0, repsectively will remove the error.  You should do this by opening the VI, change the value, then right-click and select "Data management"-> "Make current default value" for each of the two controls.
  3. Now, the VI you properly load the values in the file.
  4. There is no reason to replay the file whenever the user changes the value of the drop-down list box.  Read once at the beginning of the program.

  • Modification of the properties-type def drop-down list box

    I have a group of 32 cases of a def type. The def type contains several different types of control. What I have to do is to change the properties of the list box for each of the type defs. Normally, I would create an array of references to change the properties for each of the type defs, but when I try this I can not access the properties of string [] for combo box selections. The only way I found to fix it is to create a reference for each individual drop-down list box item. It is labour, since I'll have 32 elements. Is there a way to beeter to do this? The first screenshot shows the issui I'll have, not being able to change the properties of specific elements within each of the def type at runtime through a control [] array. The second screenshot shows the only solution I've found so far, which is not very practical.

    You will need to set up (for a more specific class) control to a type of combo box for the particular control [] index that has the combobox control if you want to access the drop-down list.

    You can also access the combobox in a cluster based directly, rigth click on the control reference and a link to the element cluster directly.

    The last option is to make the strictt of typdef will fill all instances with the channel list [] given that it is a strict property.

    the approach is based on the weather, you plan on changing the list during execution.

  • Select the string table drop-down list box.

    Hi all

    I want to select the combo box list based on a string in the entry, I don't know how to do this. I have a drop-down list box and the value comes from a database, what I want to do is I want to change the value of the selected box based on the existing value in the database drop-down list. for example, A, B, C D I strings in the drop-down list box, and then in my database, I have a field with the string C, I want to change the C to A. I can't enter the value of C in a string format, but I don't know how to be the first position of the drop-down list box in so the order of channels combo box will be C, A, B, d., the value of C

    Thank you

    Then just write a new array of strings, with the elements of the new agenda, to the "[] strings" - property.

    Either you must code something that allows you to create an array of strings with the elements in the order that you want them to be. If there is a reorganization only, you could do something like:

    -Get the array of strings [] from the drop-down list using a property node box.

    -Find the position of the element you want to place first and use "delete from table", which returns the new array and the element removed.

    -Build a new table 1 d of the deleted item and table remaining. Move to the second combobox Strings [] property of a node property.

  • get the index of a selected item in a drop-down list box

    Hello

    If I have a list of strings in a drop-down list box and the user selects one in the drop-down menu, how can I get the index?  I was able to explore the table for the selected channel, but it seems like duplication of effort to create a list and then go back and research it.

    Thank you

    It's easier to change control of the ring or Enum which gives the index as a default value, a drop-down list box gives a string that must be converted. But if you like really graphic and you want to use the drop-down list you can uncheck the "use strings as values" option and enter the index as numbers and then make a string to Decimal conversion.

  • Properly handle output drop-down list box

    A drop-down list box will display one of the two types of data.  If it finds the value entered on the roll control on front panel in the column of the strings in the array [] strings and values, it will display the cell value.  Otherwise, it will display the string.  So, if my array strings and values looks like this:

    Red, 0

    Yellow, 1

    Green, 2

    I enter 'Orange', then the drop-down list box "Orange."  If I get "Yellow", then the combo box returns "1" rather than "yellow."

    Is there any method to determine the behavior that controls used?

    In fact, the data type is always a string. The 'value' should be interpreted as a numeric by you. On the top of my head, there are 2 ways you can do this:

    • Use the search D table 1 to find the Strings of [] property to see if the ComboBox Text.Text property is in the list of channels. If the output of the function is - 1, then you know he has simply removed the chain.
    • You can use the decimal digit? function to see if the value is numeric.

    I don't know that there are others.

  • How to change the items in a drop-down list box that is part of an array of clusters

    Hello

    In the attached vi, I have an array of clusters and each cluster contains two drop-down list boxes. How can I edit the items in the drop-down list box 1 for all elements in the array? (All elements of list box 1 has the same elements.)

    By way of illustration, I have also included the case of trivila, for example, edit the items in a separate drop-down list box that is is not part of an array of clusters (combo box 3). Please notify. Thank you.

    Right click on the drop-down list box and select Create-> Node-> String() property. Place it on the block diagram. Change to write (right click) and then feed him an array of strings.

  • Change the number of items in the drop-down list box when running

    I'm trying to change the number of items in one of my boxes of comobo.

    I have been through the help and this forum and have the values to within the drop-down list box change very well, but in a scenario, I want to go to three options for 2. And according to other choices to 3.

    I guess I have to use a property node but I can't understand that one.

    You can use the method to reset to zero (using an invoke node) before setting the [Strings] (after setting the value by default an empty array) or create an Xcontrol (you can see examples of LabVIEW for xcontrol).
