Ok, I cleaned up the spam (should I call it spam? ...some content was very interesting... ) Anyways, I formally vote for OpenG as a sub-forum of LAVA. Respectfully, -JG

The problem I have is that when I rename the class, I end up with object controls and indicators that contain the label of the original class. Is there an easy way, outside of manually renaming, to do this? Maybe someone has a tool out there? Not sure why LabVIEW doesn't do this for me. I can't be the only one with this problem.

I added VI wrappers with error terminals for Wait (ms), Wait Until Next ms Multiple, and Tick Count in LV 2011. Look for them in vi.lib\Utility\timing. They're not the ideal solution, but until we get error terminals on the primitives, at least we can stop having to worry about maintaining our own copies. -D

Hello LAVA members! I wanted you all to get the first announcement that the Customer Education team at NI has released a brand new OO course titled Object-Oriented Design and Programming in LabVIEW. This course was designed and developed from scratch by the Customer Education team at NI with significant contributions from multiple groups at NI, including LabVIEW R&D and Systems Engineering. The first scheduled instance of this new course is 12/09/2010, here in Austin. After that date, all OO courses offered by NI will use the new course material. Here's some high-level information about the course content: Initial focus is on good OO design, then move to developing an OO applicaiton in G. Students learn how to develop a simple class hierarchy. All exercise development uses LabVIEW classes. Discusses some of the problem types that LabVIEW classes are particularly adept at solving. Introduces students to several OO design patterns (channeling, aggregation, and factory patterns). Presents code review criteria for OO applications developed in G. Students learn how to modify their existing code to leverage LabVIEW classes. Students deploy an application that uses dynamically loaded plug-in classes. Any questions?

No joy here. I cannot get anything back from the System Exec call. It does open a console window and I can see the output in the window as I press the write buttons but when I choose exit and close the app's window, nothing is returned to the calling LV VI. Do you have anything special in your exe's ini file? Weird. I get nothing under XP when calling from either LV2009 or 8.6.1. Maybe this is an XP issue. Can you try this on an XP machine and confirm?
