I picked up this discussion on a thread over at NI Community and wanted to provide some input. Reusing the LabVIEW options (preferences) dialog framework to create your own custom dialog for your application, along the lines of crelf's use case, is fairly simple and I will post a couple of VIs and an example in a day or two that provide a wrapper around PreferencesDialog.vi and a slightly updated template to build your own options pages. Note: I prefer the term options to preferences so in general I will use that name. Adding you own pages into the LabVIEW options dialog alongside the existing options pages is a bit more involved as stated in this thread. If you add your own pages and want to load/save your settings (which obviously you do) you need to explicitly add code in your options page VIs to do this. The framework will not handle that for you. The framework uses the TagSet/PropertyBag refnum for this purpose, but you will not be able to piggyback on this, at least not now. We are discussing ways to allow LV add-on developers to add their own entries in the LabVIEW options dialog in the future, so stay tuned.

Are you using the "English" setting in the "Control Panel->Reginal and Language Options->Advanced->Langauge for non-Unicode program->Drop Down list box" ?

I saw the same thing a couple days ago. I'm not sure what the cause was. Here are some of the details. My colleague had installed a demo version of LabVIEW 2009 on it. I wanted to install a version 2009 executable on that some computer. So we uninstalled LabVIEW (but not quite all things NI because there was an executable installed that we didn't want to remove). Then we attempted to install the LabVIEW 2009 RTE and the 2009 DSC RTE. The former noted that some newer components were installed (so?) and then canceled the install. The latter install succeeded. If I tried to run the executable I saw the same unsupported languages messages. (We installed a 2010 version successfully on that computer.) Does this sound similar to what you saw? What did you do to resolve the issue, if you were able to resolve it?

A neat lightweight tool I would reccommend is Violet UML (Freeware), its very easy to use and runs on JAVA so it diggs on anything you can throw at it. Online help is a good read with useful tips on what diagram is normalled used for what. It doesnt feature any integration into anything, but its the simplest, quickest and easiest tool for creating standard UML diagrams rapidly! violet.sourceforge.net/ A great lightweight tool for the USB Drive
