Listbox Controls

You can configure listboxes to accept single selections or multiple selections. Use the multicolumn listbox to display more information about each item, such as the size of the item and the date it was created.

When you type characters in a listbox at run time, LabVIEW selects the first item in the listbox that begins with the characters you type. Use the left and right arrow keys to go to the previous or next items that match the characters you type. Right-click a listbox and select Selection Mode » Highlight Entire Row from the shortcut menu to highlight the entire row when you select an item.

You can add a symbol next to a list item, such as in the LLB Manager window, where directories and files have different symbols. You also can insert separator lines between list items.

You can use a Property Node to modify list items and to gather information about list items, such as to detect the currently selected items or to set the handling of upper and lowercase characters when you type characters in a listbox at run time.
