I've developed software for two ATEs with the JKI State Machine and have found myself with very many states to cover all of my requirements. I wasn't comfortable with this at first so I posted a question on the JKI forum. Anyway, I wrote a tool that builds an array of the states (in the last Case Structure selected - it polls and acts if the only selection is a CS). There's a vertical scroll bar to speed up the process of scrolling through the list and double-clicking on any item will bring the corresponding state to the front. I'm almost satisfied, but there are two things I don't like about it. First, it uses ObjHighlite to bring the case to the front and I don't like having it flash. How else can I do this? Second, the case structure is selected at the end of the process. How can I deselect it? Thanks, Jim Note: don't download/use this file - better stuff is further along this thread. CaseSelector.vi

A very fine tutorial manual exists within LV's help files. Launch LabVIEW. On the Getting Started Window, in the right hand column, click on the link for "LabVIEW Fundamentals". This launches the LV help. In the left hand column is a list of topics. Search for "LabVIEW Object-Oriented Programming". The first link you'll find is for "LabVIEW Object-Oriented Programming error codes". Keep searching. The second one is for "LabVIEW Object-Oriented Programming". That's the link you want. Underneath that topic is a whole range of Concepts and How-To articles. If you printed it on paper, it is almost 70 pages of really good information.

That was the whole idea! <object width="188" height="174"> <param name="movie" value="http://content.screencast.com/users/JKI_Software/folders/Jing/media/4c3b559a-aacd-4356-93b4-e5481999767a/jingh264player.swf"></param>'>http://content.screencast.com/users/JKI_Software/folders/Jing/media/4c3b559a-aacd-4356-93b4-e5481999767a/jingh264player.swf"></param> <param name="quality" value="high"></param> <param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF"></param> <param name="flashVars" value="thumb=http://content.screencast.com/users/JKI_Software/folders/Jing/media/4c3b559a-aacd-4356-93b4-e5481999767a/FirstFrame.jpg&containerwidth=188&containerheight=174&showbranding=false&content=http://content.screencast.com/users/JKI_Software/folders/Jing/media/4c3b559a-aacd-4356-93b4-e5481999767a/2009-07-24_1614.mp4"></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/JKI_Software/folders/Jing/media/4c3b559a-aacd-4356-93b4-e5481999767a/"></param>'>http://content.screencast.com/users/JKI_Software/folders/Jing/media/4c3b559a-aacd-4356-93b4-e5481999767a/"></param> <embed src="http://content.screencast.com/users/JKI_Software/folders/Jing/media/4c3b559a-aacd-4356-93b4-e5481999767a/jingh264player.swf" quality="high" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" width="188" height="174" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowScriptAccess="always" flashVars="thumb=http://content.screencast.com/users/JKI_Software/folders/Jing/media/4c3b559a-aacd-4356-93b4-e5481999767a/FirstFrame.jpg&containerwidth=188&containerheight=174&showbranding=false&content=http://content.screencast.com/users/JKI_Software/folders/Jing/media/4c3b559a-aacd-4356-93b4-e5481999767a/2009-07-24_1614.mp4" allowFullScreen="true" base="http://content.screencast.com/users/JKI_Software/folders/Jing/media/4c3b559a-aacd-4356-93b4-e5481999767a/" scale="showall"></embed> </object>
