I'm out of ideas. I called in the big guns, Quentin says he's gonna look into the issue.

Depending on what you need, you may have luck with my version of a datagrid:

It's a different take on how to implement them. You define mine programmatically, rather than via a dialog, so it's a more manual process to set up but offers some different levels of flexibility compared to the one that ships with the toolkit. Unfortunately I can't help with your specific problem other than to offer mine as an alternative (and it's definitely not as polished as Quentin's).

@Joe_H,

 

I am looking into it but I have to admit that I haven't touched this in a while. So, give me some time to dust the cobwebs off my brain there.

 

If I remember right, there are two parts to it. The configuration right-click menu and the QControl itself. Do you have both parts? I don't think the QControl part was made into a package. It is available through my GitLab Here.

 

Here are the instructions for it from the LabVIEW Wiki: https://labviewwiki.org/wiki/DataGrid_QControl 

 

What do you plan to do with it? My DataGrid QControl defines the type by column but @BertMcMahan wrote his own, also a QControl, that is defined by cell and is defined programmatically (no popup configuration). Located Here: https://forums.ni.com/t5/QControl-Enthusiasts/The-DSM-Datagrid-yet-another-Datagrid-QControl/td-p/42...

 

Mine is nice but it was never fully polished. His might be better for your needs. If you still want to use mine, I'm willing to schedule a call. DM me through the forum or LinkedIn.

THank you all for the help. I was able to uninstall all the MGI packages and then reinstall them and I now get the configuration editor but after closing the editor I do not get anything in the control. I tried to follow your instructions on the GITlab page but was somewhat confused on what is needed to be copied or where to put it. I downloaded all of the code and tried to run the example in the code but i got the same affect. No change after the dialog.

 

Am I just using it wrong? Or does some code need to be copied somewhere in the LV installation folder?

I was running into this too. It is a failure on my part, but it will not add rows to the multicoulmn listbox (MCLB). You have to add the row to the 2D array and then write that to the List Items property before the row becomes editable. This functionality should added so that a double-click on the next empty row will add a new row automatically. I will try to add this in the future but I'm not sure when I will get to it.
