A small tip: You don't even have to re-enable Panel Updates (Defer = False). Every time you set "Defer Panel Updates" to "True" it will actually refresh. So you could initially defer updates and then, if you want, refresh at regular controlled intervals by repeatedly calling "Defer Panel Updates" = True and only setting it to "False" once all of your work is done.

Thank you, all of you at NI Week. My wife had more fun than anyone else. Anyone. She got to talk to people from all over the world about culture, science, medicine, mechanics/machines, electronics, the internet/cloud, deployment methods, business models, product marketing, mathematics, even history. She even crashed a real estate appraisal conference being held at the hotel. She spoke to most everyone running demos in the expo hall. Consistently the female AE's would look around to see if they were being watched, then get a gleam in their eyes and say to her "I get you, me too, come push these buttons with me!" During MY booth duty Tuesday morning her many years of sales experience kicked in, unplanned. She was pumped and drawing all kinds of people into the booth. I couldn't keep up. My coworkers were amused. Shortest-feeling booth duty ever. She somehow audited a session upstairs, accompanying an NI sales rep from abroad (details obscured to protect!). He got to practice explaining the product and its target market to her personally (in English), and she got to see how NI presented new products to the public. In the evenings she went with me to special dinners, private events, happy-hour-meetings, and dinner with customers. At a standing, raucous scotch-with-the-boys gathering she matched the banter so well it was demanded she be there next year. She helped me at the check-in table at the LAVA BBQ and met ~200 LabVIEW developers. Late nights she kept people together, seemed to grow the group with everyone we met, and kept everything clean. At the conference party her desire to get people talking and meeting each other made it like speed-networking for all of us. By that time she had so many badge ribbons donated to her that she got a lot of attention, and she had a lot of fun. And she still had time to dance. Sent from Norm Kirchner, he titled it "Belle of the Ball." Bringing cultures together at the conference party: I am omitting the "Air guitar with LabVIEW Champions at the Spazmatics show" photo, sorry. =) She is still talking about last week. I believe I will take her again next year. She reminded me what all the excitement is about, and renewed my wonder at what all of you do. It was my most fun year, too. Jeremy

The Abort VI doesn't work in this case. Clones don't show up in the All VIs in Memory. The best technique at the moment is for all VIs in memory that are clones, try to guess the VI name (with the instance). Which I believe is what the Task Manager does.

If you have your class and you want to create a pull right menu on a property node for it, you can use the colon ( to separate property items for it. Just right click on the class » Properties » Item Settings » Localized name. Also, on a separate note and since I'm in the neighborhood, you could also take advantage of the "Documentation" tab in the Class properties to change the "Localized name" from the default (in my case, "NI_VSA.lvclass") to something shorter or more meaningful. .This makes it easier on the eye. Regards

In case anyone stumbles on this, this more name documentation here.

Had a great time with you guys. Her comment about how the ribbon collection started did get me thinking. Would it be a good idea to have a "Wife/Spouse" ribbons made? On the one hand I don't like the idea of having ribbons made for every category, but I think the wives catch on to the fact that the length of your ribbons is something to show off. Wives probably feel left out with no ribbons of their own. I was the one that had the LAVA ribbons made this year so I feel like I could probably get something together and make some for the wives to have. I just feel like they should feel more welcomed, not isolated. It did seem like there were a good number of wives there this year. EDIT: BTW I almost brought my wife but something came up. There is a good chance she'll be coming with me next year.

So I was asking Darren at the BBQ if there was any other new features in 2014 that maybe were less known, or not talked about. The example I gave was the QuickBold in 2013. The feature he mentioned was an update to the quick drop remove key to have slightly different behavior in 2014. In 2013 if you do quick drop, then CTRL + Shift + R on a build array function it will remove terminals not wired. Both on the top, the middle, or the bottom. This also works with a few other functions like merge error, and I think some cluster functions. Well along those same lines Darren said the CTRL + Shift + R on a case structure will now perform the same operation as the Right click, Remove Case Structure. Nothing major, and probably not note worthy but I like to know about these obscure features.
