Faking List boxes with Straight Table

[shannoypaul]

Hi all,

I am trying to fake list boxes using a Straight table but my requirement is to have 2 columns in the list box, as shown below:

How can I achieve multiple columns using a straight table to fake list boxes.

TIA,

Shannoy

Hi,

That is all well and good but that is multiple dimensions?

I believe Shannoy is looking for a way to wrap a single dimension into multiple columns which I don't think is possible

[shannoypaul]

Yes Adam, that is what I am looking for, I can do away with the checkboxes.

Within the tab presentation are options to determine how many columns should be displayed:

But you don't have that option on a chart.

He is trying to replicate that IN a chart as a pseudo listbox

[marcus_sommer]

I don't think that it's possible to create a multi-column listbox view and behaviour within a table-chart - he will need to decide which death he want to die ... maybe a bit more informations what are the reasons behind them might help to find other/better solutions.

Hi,

[shannoypaul]

I need font color within the list box to be color coded

Green- Permanent

Orange- Temporary

Red- Intern

You couldn't have everything together. Within the tablechart you could color background and font like you want but you couldn't create a multi-column view/behaviour from a listbox.

Nevertheless I would use a listbox and add the color-code with an expression like in this example which used a gauge to display the color:
