There is a VI File Info.vi in the OpenG Toolkit file package that allows to change the modification date and creation date of a file provided the current user has enough privileges for the file in question.

The prototype you are showing in your VI is VisualBasic syntax and not very helpful for LabVIEW purposes. LabVIEW is strictly typed just as C is and needs to be configured to match the expected C types exactly. If I remember right then FILETIME is a 64bit integer or a long long. This can be achieved directly in LabVIEW 8 with the (u)int64 but in LabVIEW before 8.0 you would have to create a cluster of two (u)int32 and pass that instead.

Thanks I found it in OpenG yesterday, I should have checked sooner. Yes I was just getting to the cluster of two (u)int32 when I found the VI on OpenG.

Thanks again to You and Openg...

I need to change the modified Date and Time of a file.

I think that the attached code is going in the right direction. I am trying to do this by making a call to kernal32.dll.

The problem I have is formating the data type to pass to the dll for the Date/Time.

Any help would be great.

Roger

Thanks for everyones help. I got it to work :thumbup: (using the NI example), yet I needed a separate program to return the MAC address of the remote computer. Ultimately I would like to have a VI in which I just give the network name and have if resolve the MAC address the finally send the magic datagram. Once finished I will post for anyone who wants it.

Thanks again!!!

I have some data machines that are remote at times and they may have been shut down for one reason or another. I

Thanks for pointing these out. They seem very promising for quick tasks and small utilities.

Any idea how these scripts work? Do they turn around and call VBScript, or Windows API, or something even lower-level?

Just curious...

I believe API...

I don

Just thought you guys (gals) would like to know about this

I am using LabView 6.1 on a project and would like to scan the cards installed in the SCXI chassis. Then finally I would load the appropriate drivers(My VIs) at startup.

What I currently know:

[*] There is a sub VI that will return the cards that are installed but only if you have set them up in MAX first.

[*] Looks as though I can add and remove cards with VI

Thanks for the great response. I have always avoided the Call Library Function because I could never get all the settings right. You made it very clear and strait forward. Thanks for not just saying

I'm trying to write a function that returns the files in a folder that have the Archive bit set. :headbang: Is there a way in labview to read this information? The get file info VI seems to be very limited (probably do to portability). I trying to avoid having to compare file modified date to a history file. Seem like a lot of work when the OS already does this book keeping for me!

Thanks

Has anyone figured this out yet?

It seems to resize to video size on each play also!

I am able to repeat the problem but only after selecting the option in XP to "Show window content while dragging." If you turn this off it seems to work correctly. Not the best work around but it works.

I know that you can right click a button to show/hide the decal but can this be done with code?

Seems like there should be a property for this...

Thanks,

Roger

You need to set the ActiveItemTag first.

Unlike tables/listbox/etc where you reference by row numbers.

In trees you set the active row by using ActiveItemTag.

Then you can adjust the cell size property.

See the picture for example.

How do you open and close the BD Programmatically?

I tried to download file in previous reply to poke around but it won

I would like a template (.vit) of mine to pop up when I select File>>New or type Ctrl+N. Is this a setting in labview.ini or somewhere? I hope so! Using labview 6.1!

Thanks!

OK here we go
