I have been toying around with a more radical UI design change. First of all, I am not a big fan of tab control. Secondly, I want to try to get a UI customizable enough that it can cater to as many people as possible. Here is what I came up thus far (note: this is mostly just a UI mock up and it has very little functionality). <object width="1068" height="546"> <param name="movie" value="http://content.screencast.com/users/PJM_LabVIEW/folders/Jing/media/14a79ed5-ef03-4870-94f1-66a1b789dd21/jingswfplayer.swf"></param>'>http://content.screencast.com/users/PJM_LabVIEW/folders/Jing/media/14a79ed5-ef03-4870-94f1-66a1b789dd21/jingswfplayer.swf"></param> <param name="quality" value="high"></param> <param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF"></param> <param name="flashVars" value="thumb=http://content.screencast.com/users/PJM_LabVIEW/folders/Jing/media/14a79ed5-ef03-4870-94f1-66a1b789dd21/FirstFrame.jpg&containerwidth=1068&containerheight=546&loaderstyle=jing&content=http://content.screencast.com/users/PJM_LabVIEW/folders/Jing/media/14a79ed5-ef03-4870-94f1-66a1b789dd21/2009-08-30_1137.swf"></param> <param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param> <param name="scale" value="showall"></param> <param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"></param> <param name="base" value="http://content.screencast.com/users/PJM_LabVIEW/folders/Jing/media/14a79ed5-ef03-4870-94f1-66a1b789dd21/"></param>'>http://content.screencast.com/users/PJM_LabVIEW/folders/Jing/media/14a79ed5-ef03-4870-94f1-66a1b789dd21/"></param> <embed src="http://content.screencast.com/users/PJM_LabVIEW/folders/Jing/media/14a79ed5-ef03-4870-94f1-66a1b789dd21/jingswfplayer.swf" quality="high" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" width="1068" height="546" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowScriptAccess="always" flashVars="thumb=http://content.screencast.com/users/PJM_LabVIEW/folders/Jing/media/14a79ed5-ef03-4870-94f1-66a1b789dd21/FirstFrame.jpg&containerwidth=1068&containerheight=546&loaderstyle=jing&content=http://content.screencast.com/users/PJM_LabVIEW/folders/Jing/media/14a79ed5-ef03-4870-94f1-66a1b789dd21/2009-08-30_1137.swf" allowFullScreen="true" base="http://content.screencast.com/users/PJM_LabVIEW/folders/Jing/media/14a79ed5-ef03-4870-94f1-66a1b789dd21/" scale="showall"></embed> </object> Please comment.

Our Labview test tools team is a fairly new organization and we're just starting to get into code reviews. I held one earlier this week for an application I developed that is nearing release that I felt went okay, but due to time constraints was fairly shallow and the few deep dives into the code were extremely narrow. It would not have uncovered a bug I found last week that resulted in a robot crashing into a fixture. For those that do code reviews, How often/at what stages do you have code reviews? Our projects may run anywhere from 1 week to 6 months of development time with the majority on the shorter end of the scale. I think this particular code review was much later than it should have been. How much time do you budget for code reviews? 2% of total project time? 20%? How much participation do you expect from other developers? Do you find reviews more productive when conducted 1-on-1 or in a small group (4-6 developers total) setting? How much code do you try to cover? Ideally a code review would cover all the code and at the end all participants understand it as well as the developer; however, that simply is not practical in our environment where each test tool is typically owned by a single developer. Business realities dictate the review focus on 'critical' sections, which leads to the question... How do you decide what code is 'critical' and how much does application architecture dictate critical code? For an application with several asynchronous threads the message timing could be critical. Do other design patterns suggest different places to look for critical code?

I'm pretty sure the answer is no, but... Is there any way to mark a post that's already been read as "unread"? Here's the problem: I read LAVA most every day by just going thru whatever turns up when I hit the "View Unread Content" link. I'm doing this at work thru a very thick firewall on an obsolete IE6 browser, and many of the attachments are invisible and links are unreachable. I would like to be able to mark posts I want to see all of as "unread" so when I get home, I can "View Unread Content" again and view the posts I couldn't view at work. Solution(s)? Cat

Why choose? You could decide to study scripting LVOOP!

Yes, this is what you need. This is actually what the RCF is using. PJM

There is a 'VI Activation' event that you could use, however it has been a while since I used it. Ton

Here it is. snmp communication.zip

Hi, You might want to use the "scan from string" primitive (to turn your date string into a timestamp), then cast your timestamp to DBL (actually "second") and then substract the 2 DBLs to have the timne difference in seconds. See this: hope this helps
