Has anybody used StarTeam with LabVIEW?

What I'm really wondering about is does it handle LabVIEW's file format better than MS VSS. Our company is considering switching from VSS to something else and StarTeam is the leading candidate because our biggest customer uses it.

Thanks

Ed

Now's a great time to try to convince them to use subversion

Anything's better than VSS (not always, but you know what I mean).

In Germany they came first for the Communists, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't

Communist.

Then they came for the Jews and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Jew.

Then they came for the trade unionists, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a trade

unionist.

They they came for the Catholics and I didn't speak up because I was a Protestant.

Then they came for me, and by that time there was no one left to speak up.

I am invoking Godwin's Law. This topic is now closed. Sorry, alpha, you lose again.

Ouch!

Do they have one for paranoid too?

No, but there is a website: Conspiracy Theories for Dummies.

The dummy people working for the government in any country don't write books; they are stupid.

Because I wrote a book and I need a Book publishing support; because the dummies from the Canadian government didn't write books they don't know if it is such program.

What about the law books?

or they are marked as "IsSystemVI" ?

No, I don't think so.

How do you change a VI from Run Mode to Edit Mode (and vice versa)? You know, the way you can using Operate>>Change to Run (Edit) Mode (<ctrl-M>). I can't seem to find any way to do this.

P.S. - The Edit Mode on Open property is not what I'm looking for -- I want to change the mode immediately.

I started out with NI's GOOP, have used Endevo's on a customer rework project which originally used Endevo. Did a bit of the "roll your own" on a couple of projects.

If there is any way to allow the GOOP poll to use multiple check boxes rather than radio buttons I think it would give a more accurate picture of the GOOP useage.

Overall, my GOOP use has been fairly light in the past, but I expect it to increase significantly this year.

My guess is that it will increase around August

My bet is that it is a vi.lib thing.

ha ha, april fools

I see that Mr mec (a.k.a "one hit wonder"), signed up for a new user account to anonymously spoil a very good joke. :thumbdown:

PS - Excellent work, Michael! Yes, ehhhxcellent. :worship:

Remember: if you're not with us, you're against us...

Right, and we only punish people who do the wrong thing. And since michael has not been punished, he must have done nothing wrong. :thumbdown:

Since I was addressed directly, I will respond. I had no knowledge of this and I am extremely upset. Michael must take us for a bunch of fools, if he thinks we are going to sit back and let this happen. I have notified my attorney, to better understand our rights and the implications of Michael's decision -- I will let you all know, as soon as I hear back.

come on, you and jim allways tried to cool me down

We're just putting colin through a mild hazing ritual. He seems like a fun guy, so I'm sure he's up for it.

Wow, being warned and a stung in the same post -- he ain't jokin' around

Is there something about what I'm talking here?

It's hard to tell, yet.

Colin,

Here we go again.

First you're feeding the homework hustlers and now this.

Cheers,

PS -

PPS - Hmmm, Einstein was Jewish -- apha is off to a quick start. I wonder how long it will take before we get to enforce Godwin's law, this time.

thx for posting!

by the way: which tool do you use to make the flash "screenshots" ?

Wink.

Status update...

If you mouse down on a multi-column listbox column header and move the mouse slightly, while keeping it within the bounds of the column headers, it will cause the listbox vertical scrollbar to scroll up. Presumably this behavior is intended for selecting a row and dragging it up, above the upper-most row; in which case, you would definitely want this behavrior. I believe that the fix, is to filter this behavior if the user mouses down in the column header, rather than a (data) row of the listbox.

just to bring up the thread again ...

has noone else yet experienced this behaviour? has noone a tip for me?

:sob:

LabVIEW 8.0 stores palette edits in the LabVIEW Data folder (usually found in My Documents). Try looking in there -- you might want to delete all of this palette data.

Using the OpenG Builder you don't get that error.

Woo hoo :beer:

Status Update: This issue has been forwarded to R&D, for possible fix in a future release

I just checked at Amazon, and they have it posted, so let me also plug:

LabVIEW for Everyone : Graphical Programming Made Easy and Fun (3rd Edition) (Hardcover)

By Jeffrey Travis and Jim Kring

The cat's out of the bag now, thank you! I hate keeping secrets (being a pretty "open" guy).

Let me just say that I am very excited about this book (please, pardon my intrinsic biases). Jeffrey and I started out on the very solid foundation provided by the 1st and 2nd editions, we had a truly amazing team of technical reviewers, and LabVIEW (especially 8.0) is a truly great product that's full of amazing features (and, most of us have not even scratched the surface).

Yes, Jeffrey is the fellow that planted the open source seed (for me at least) -- here is a link, were you can read up on the history of OpenG. I was very honored to be asked, by Jeffrey, to co-author the 3rd edition.

Lastly, some weight has definitely been added to this book, as it has gotten quite a bit thicker

Cheers,

Does anyone know how to programmatically add a separator line in a right-click context-menu?

Use the Application Item Tags. In this case, you want to use APP_SEPARATOR.
