Predefined font names include App Font, Sys Font, and Dlg Font.Active Cell:Cell Font:SizeThe size of the font in the active cell.Active Cell:Cell Font:StrikeoutIndicates whether to strike out the text in the active cell.Active Cell:Cell Font:UnderlineIndicates whether the text in the active cell is underlined.Active Cell:Cell JustificationGets and sets the justification of text within a table cell.Active Cell:Cell SizeThe size of the active cell(s) in pixels.Active Cell:Cell Size:HeightThe height of the active cell(s) in pixels.Active Cell:Cell Size:WidthThe width of the active cell(s) in pixels.Active Cell:PositionThe coordinate in pixels, relative to the origin of the owning pane, of the top-left position of the active cell(s).Active Cell:Position:LeftThe coordinate in pixels, relative to the origin of the owning pane, of the left edge of the active cell.Active Cell:Position:TopThe coordinate in pixels, relative to the origin of the owning pane, of the top edge of the active cell.Alternate Row Background ColorBackground color used to draw alternate rows.Alternating Row ColorsRow background colors alternate to make row size and boundaries more obvious.Autosizing Row HeightDetermines whether the rows autosize their height to display all text when fonts change or when the number of lines in a cell changes.Column Header Strings[]An array of the strings in the column headers.Content Rect BoundsThe size in pixels of the content rectangle of the table control.Content Rect Bounds:HeightThe height in pixels of the content rectangle of the table control.Content Rect Bounds:WidthThe width in pixels of the content rectangle of the table control.Content Rect PositionThe coordinate in pixels, relative to the origin of the owning pane, of the top-left position of the content rectangle of the table control.Content Rect Position:LeftThe coordinate in pixels, relative to the origin of the owning pane, of the left edge of the content rectangle of the table control.Content Rect Position:TopThe coordinate in pixels, relative to the origin of the owning pane, of the top edge of the content rectangle of the table control.Default ValueGets or sets the default value of the table control.Edit PositionThe row-column pair index of the current text entry. Values of (0,0) indicate the top-left text entry. A value of โ1 indicates the row or column header but they cannot be edited using this property. Values of (โ2, โ2) indicate that no edits are being made to the text of the control.Index ValuesRow and column index of the cell displayed in the top left corner. If you display the row and column headers, the non-header cell is the top left corner.Multiple Line InputIf TRUE, you can enter multiple lines of text in the table cells by pressing the <Enter> key on the keyboard. If FALSE, pressing the <Enter> key on the keyboard while editing cells causes LabVIEW to commit the edits in the current cell and the text focus moves to the next cell. This property does not affect run-time behavior of the table.Number of ColumnsNumber of visible columns in the table, including the row headers if visible. The number of columns might change if the vertical scroll bar is visible. This property counts partially visible columns.Number of RowsNumber of visible rows in the table. If the table uses column headers, this number includes one row for the column headers. The number of rows might change if the horizontal scroll bar is visible. This property counts partially visible rows.Row Header Strings[]An array of the strings in the row headers.Selection ColorColor used to draw the data selection.Selection SizeIndex of the row and column pair that specifies the number of rows and columns in the selection.Selection StartRow and column index that specifies the beginning of data selection. Coordinates begin at (0,0), which is top left, and do not include headers.SizeThe width and height in pixels of the table control.Size:HeightThe height of the table control in pixels.Size:WidthThe width of the table control in pixels.Smooth Horizontal ScrollingIf TRUE, the horizontal scrolling of the table is by pixels, such that the first column may be horizontally clipped. If FALSE, the table scrolls by whole column widths such that the first column is never clipped. However, if a column is wider than the width of the table, you cannot see the text that is hidden off the right edge of that column.ValueValue of table control: 2D array of strings.Value (Signaling)Sets the value of the control and generates a Value Change event.Visible Items:Column Headers VisibleIf TRUE, displays the column headers.Visible Items:Horizontal Lines VisibleIf TRUE, displays horizontal lines that separate rows in the table.Visible Items:Horizontal Scrollbar VisibleIf TRUE, displays the horizontal scroll bar.Visible Items:Index VisibleDisplays the row-column index of the top left visible cell in a table.Visible Items:Row Headers VisibleShows the row headers.Visible Items:Vertical Lines VisibleIf TRUE, displays vertical lines that separate columns in the table.Visible Items:Vertical Scrollbar VisibleIf TRUE, displays the vertical scroll bar.Word WrapDetermines whether the height of a row is based on explicit lines or wrapped text.
