Punctuation is part of the sentance, therefore your assertion is incorrect.

More importantly: what was your side of the wager? ie: what did you promise to do/not do should you be unable to prove?

This is a good read: http://www.ni.com/white-paper/6316/en, then maybe read this: http://lavag.org/topic/14548-class-mutation-history

"the sort of exercise that drives programmers to contemplate text."

whoa Whoa WHOA! That's crazy talk right there!

Woot!

Shameless plug: Image Acquisition and Processing with LabVIEW.

When you buy a license from NI, they'll give you a key.

You seem to have fairly well partitioned application (into 3 parts). I would suggest making 3 separate exes with each of the parts and see which one (if any) the leak occurs in. That may narrow it down a bit.

I agree - even if you can't partition them that well, just start removing functionality until it levels out - a laborious task, I know, but without being able to see the code, it could be anything and everything.

Quick clarification: in LabVIEW, the term "polymorphic" isn't dynamic, and doesn't really apply here. "Dynamic dispatch" is more appropriate - polymorphism in LabVIEW is something different.

BTW, can you make the same cool LAVA tshirt available for ladies?

The ladies fitted tee is now available in the LAVAStore!

Note: This is the same t-shirt style we used a couple of years ago, and several of our members said the size chart was skewed - make sure you order a size that larger than what you would normally order (not that I'm trying to suggest anything by that! )

LAVA BBQ is a great place for the LV Community to help your wife to celebrate her 30th birthday!

And it's an even better place to celebrate her 29th birthday!

Please...don't make me do it again! (insert preemptive TWSS here)

There's at least 2 TWSSs there.

Suggested reading on a question I've been asked more than once: when should I use "Preseve Run-Time Class"?

I've since taken the classes to help with taking a CLA test (Advanced Architectures and Managing Software Engineering in LabVIEW), but haven't had the opportunity to apply the knowledge I gained from those classes, so I haven't taken the CLA exam yet.

Crap - thanks for reminding me: my CLA recert is up soon!

Oh, and hi!

I think maybe it is available in the app's config file whose extensions is *.ini or *.aliases.

I'm not sure I understand what you mean - can you please explain a little further?

ShaunR and I agree on very few things, but when we do, it is adamant agreement. Whatever your data communications problem you're having, if XML is your solution, you actually have two problems.

Damn it people - I *want* to comment on this, but I refuse to hijack my own thread! Start a new one!

...mine does produce JSON strings

You're really quite the JSON fan Maybe start a new thread and we can talk about the pros and cons of JSON vs other notations.

Come! See cubelets! I love that guy

Hmmm - maybe NI could pitch in to give away 2 cubelet KT01 Robot Construction Kits at the LAVA/OpenG BBQ*?

*and maybe you could talk to the people that "randomly" draw the prize tickets?

So it's almost like a callback? Hmmmm....

I've got a control scraper and it's counterpart which sets the values. Unfortunately it's part of the websocket API, so can't give it to you.

I have no problem setting the value of the control (I'm doing it just like you suggested - great minds think alike )

Alternatively, you can wait for the serialization VIs in the other thread.

No doubt

If your code is only going to run in the development system, then you could use scripting to dynamically generate a VI that sets the properties in the file being loaded. That would at least be interesting.

Yeah, I thought about doing that, but this will be a built app

If you have to resort to staticly creating code for each property, the property node scripting interface can return a list of all the supported properties for its current class. You could use that to generate a VI for each property or a case frame for each property in a VI for each control.

Right - and that's currently my last resort, but I really want to avoid that if at all possible.

So here's what I want to do: I've got some comma-deliniated text coming into a VI that describes what to set one of the VI's properties to. For example:

Control=Progress|Scale.Range.Maximum,Value=50

I'd like to do this in a generic way (ie: don't want to create code to handle all the different control classes or their property accessors). I can get a generic reference to the control, but how do I push data to its properties?

Discuss

Does anyone have any information about the "Class Operator" method? For example: http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/371361H-01/lvscript/application_class_operator058set/ I'm not sure what it does, or how to use it, so any info would be greatly appreciated.

I know this is an old thread, but I thought I'd add something here: I've updated my preferred method to using the uninstaller that ships with NI software - you'll find it under your program files\National Instruments\NIUninstaller folder (or it might be in \shared) - run "uninst.exe" to get the NI product uninstall dialog, or call it with command line switches to get it to uninstall components directly. For example:

uninst.exe /qb /x "Product Name"

Where "Product Name" can be found by running the following from the command line:

wmic product

Warning: the wmic call might take some time, as your software catalogs are trawled. You can also pipe the results to a text file or the like for offline viewing/manipulation.
