I wouldn't entirely agree - paths are representative of a file system hierarchy and "\\server" is a completely valid node in the UNC hierarchy, regardless of whether standard file system I/O function with that path. In any event, it seems kind of like LabVIEW is going out-of-scope by deciding that because you can't enumerate that path, you should be given it to work with. It's somewhat similar to LabVIEW deciding to not return "dir" from "c:\dir" when you don't have permissions to "c:\dir". Moreover, LabVIEW will happily crunch out paths on for invalid drive letters all day long. hooovahh was kind enough to walk by while I was typing this and mention, "Look! Someone on the Internet is wrong!" ...

I like your logic - I wouldn't -want- it to have more advanced functionality. It's not a Strip and Validate Path, it's just Strip Path. A context-menu setting for validation would be acceptable, but I would contest that getting "\\server" and "dir" should be the proper behavior for a Strip Path node.

Whoever gave you rep for this post deserves a beating. Everyone knows emoticons are only for those who lack telepathy, and, frankly, those kind of people don't belong on the Internets in the first place.

Dirty rotten swindler ... People like you are the reason we can't rely on the honor system!

This presents the same way in 8.5 and 8.6. In 8.0 and 8.2, you'll actually get nothing for "name 2" and <Not a Path> for the stripped path. (all WinXP 32-bit) Another weird thing I noticed: when setting a path constant to "\\server\dir\subdir" on the BD, LabVIEW will hang for a bit after you remove focus/press ENTER - apparently it tries to verify path constants right away. Learn something new every day.

Yes.

Why can I not take away reputation points?

I thought the 1y time frame was kind of large as well. I'm a CE undergrad and I have perhaps 9mo of experience with LabVIEW through my co-op job; I have a lot of other programming background, but even at three months I considered myself to be pretty well established in LabVIEW. I think it's much more intuitive for people with little programming experience, particularly engineers. If it's taking a year to get your guys up to speed, they're only using it a few times a month or you're just not pushing hard enough.

Container Bounds:Height and Container Bounds:Width are in the properties list for the ActiveX container.

I do it all for the rep-points, yeah, the rep-points, yeah, the rep-points...

Windows+D is better - then you can pick up right where you left off.

Some forums I use let you use the URL tag to link some or all of the "blah blah blah said:" part of a quote tag. It seems that IP.Board tries to let you use the tag inside the name parameter, but things go terribly, terribly wrong - without trying too hard to reverse-engineer their parser, my hypothesis is the URL tag confuses the crap out of it.

Alt+Esc is your friend

My first thought was an Event Case with a random timeout (2-4s) with an event for the button which will catch pre-mature clicks. After that, a second event case with the current tick count wired into it with, again, a case for the button, with no timeout which will calculate the reaction time. Wrap the whole thing in a while loop or just use run continuously. Adding a reaction time history is trivial, either way.

tl;dr: we need a black wire?

I wouldn't be surprised ... LV2009 is probably just pissed you're not representin'.

Opens and has a run arrow in 8.2.1; doesn't look like the warnings are an issue. Logger 8.2.zip

Ahhhh ... you should update your profile then ...

I'm inclined to say, "I'm just that good" but I didn't do anything special. I wonder why my 8.6 install is so much more friendly than yours ...

Victory! Logger 8.5.zip

They actually -require- hardware virtualization? Moreover, you're running a laptop that's too old to have it!? Ghastly ...

The last couple times I've tried to edit a post and then opted to use the full editor, I get the following JavaScript error in Firefox 3.5.3 on Windows XP: Error: $("post_edit_reason") is null Source File: http://lavag.org/public/js/ips.topic.js Line: 268 Anyone else getting this?

Personally, I've never had any issues - anything in particular, though? If I have it lying around I could give it a go. Whewps - turns out, I never really tried before My keyboard and mouse work fine, but it won't see my flash drive or external hard drive. On a side note, the version of VPC with W7 is awesome Maybe I was mixing in my experience with that.

Basically, you're going to need to have a volume license for LabVIEW - I don't really know how limited-use NI licenses work, but maybe you can sort that out. As for the OSes, you'll need at least one for each version of Windows you plan to use. Your IT department probably has a VLK you can use. VirtualPC is what we use for our VMs - also free, but for Windows only.
