Hello I had similar problems, As written in the Error Message, you just have to change the NI-488 DMA Hardware ... No in fact I think you should try following: Open your Vi and, press Ctrl + Shift and press the Run Button from your Vi. Save the Vi. Do the same with all dynamic called vi's. Try to build your app... Note: In the Build Specification window, you have an option (Vorschau in german LabVIEW) If you press "Vorschau erzeugen" or whatever it is in your LabVIEW language version. Then you get eather a detailed error description, or you get a preview of your Exe including used dll etc.

In LabVIEW you can make as many parallel loops as you like...

Just delete the post (upgrade to premium member....)

This behaviour is described in the Vi description of the used vi ... The Read png File.vi has an Input for Transparency... So you can select the level of transparency- and that's just on/off ...

Customized Color Box.... (will be implemented into my Icon editor soon... Actually the transparency is made by "overlaying" all 3 Icons (not just BW) ("256" Colors, 16 Colors, and BW)... So if on the border of the overlayed Icon is white, then will this part showed as transparent.... In the default LabVIEW ICON Editor, it is not possible to make a complete transparent Vi. But if you set the ICON programatically, you can make invisible Vi's... (the invisible Vi's ar only shown in the Vi- Hirarchie, so you can wind up somebody )

I made a test with all possible ICON colors (by programmatically generate and read ICONS) => there are "just" 221 colors I will replace the color box of my Icon editor with a new customized colorbox which allows only to choose from the possible 221 colors...

Ok I left the 8 bit... Anyway if you convert transparent to a 8 bit pixmap, then it's 0... (but that's also white...)

Transparent is: x1000000

Here you can see a way to make a property node for a control: (soory I have the german LabVIEW Version) 1. right click on the control/indicator 2. select create => Property Node => (select the desired Property) => Visible 3. right click on the createt Property Node, select change all to write 4. now you can change from visible /invisible by adding a bool constant or control to the Property node input... everything clear?

The "ugly shadow" is only shown, when you just move an object over another object... In your example the Select Part: Control is not placed in the tab control, it's placed over the tab control... So if you wanne get rid of that shadow, you have to pick your control with the mouse, and move the control a little bit- then the shadow disapears. :beer:

Hello there is a way to do that, you can siple set Controls and Indicators Visible (or invisible) with a property node... But if you don't know that then you are probably new to LabVIEW... However I would suggest that you first attend a LabVIEW Basic 1 (& 2) Course at your local NI Office... Afther that course you will know a lot of the Basic things with LabVIEW. :beer:

I saw the presentation... As far as I know do the asynchronous wire exist since LabVIEW 8.0 but they are still hidden for the community ... When can we see an example of "Jeff's Wire"? (At least a picture of the BD) However- I look forward ro see an exaple of the 3d blockdiagram ...
