Mathcad ListBox

[jp99]

Hi all,

I recently set up a simple Mathcad sheet with several listboxes. When I pick and item from the list (some off the shelf lifting hardware) the listbox vb script spits out the ratings of the hardware for some strength checks.

The problem is that when I close the spreadhseet I lose all of my menu picks. Is there any way to get the sheet save my menu picks?

This article shows how to do that using metadata. It is originally from PTC Express April 2008 (and re-posted on the Mathcad collab site).

Steve, that sounds exactly what I'm looking for! But my compnay is only at v 13.1. Maybe you could save it as an earlier version?

I don't have MC13 on this machine to test with, but this should work in MC13.

Hi Steve,

I have tried to get this method to work. But I have three list boxes. I can only get the first listbox to save. I tried changing the "listboxstate" variable name but I cannot get the last tow lists to save. It puts the variable in the metadata but when I reopen they are set back to zero again.

Maybe someone can look at the codes?
