QUOTE (mross @ Jul 22 2008, 09:24 AM) Personally, I encourage commerical announcements that the LAVA community might find interesting (examples of other commerical announcements include awesome tools like the VIPM, labviewmastery.com, the IVision Toolkit, blogs galore and many more), but I do agree that they need to go into the right sub-forum. We have a http://forums.lavag.org/Announcements-f25.html' target="_blank">sub-forum for announcements (I've moved the initial post over there). You're right - newbies probably won't know to post their commerical announcements there, but that's what the admins are here for - to gently point them (and everyone else) in the right direction.

2 weeks to go! :thumbup: Please make sure that you register at the bottom right of this page AND pay here (doing only one of those doesn't get your name on the list - make sure that you do both). If you haven't reserved your spot yet, you better get your bum in gear - we've only got 48 people registered and we need to crack 100 to break even.

QUOTE (Yair @ Jul 21 2008, 01:39 PM) Outlook threads them very nicely (ie: sort by subject)

QUOTE (Yair @ Jul 21 2008, 01:33 PM) You're absolutely right - I should have said that users can change it to anything that I want

QUOTE (LV_FPGA_SE @ Jul 21 2008, 11:00 AM) Great point Christian - I'll add that to the original blog post.

QUOTE (MikaelH @ Jul 21 2008, 06:59 AM) That's awesome - there's no-one better to teach the course! PS: Mikael taught me GOOP many years ago, and is not only very knowledgable in OO, but is also a LabVIEW stalwart, a Certified LabVIEW Architect, the man behind the Endevo GOOP Development Toolkit and UML Modeller (written completely in LabVIEW), and an all-around great bloke!

QUOTE (alfa @ Jul 21 2008, 03:01 AM) On the contrary - we love those questions! It's questions that we don't think are relevant to our field that we find less interesting.

QUOTE (Ton @ Jul 21 2008, 04:20 AM) That's pretty cool - you can make a skin chooser and the users can select the background (including defining their own).

Still on the fence on whether you'll go to NI-Week this year? Read this.

Whilst wandering through some old posts in Christina's Eyes on VIs blog (I really should read it more often - I'm subscribed to the RSS feed, but don't read it anywhere as regularly as I should) I stumbled across this old post. Christina was demonstrating how to apply a skin or "wallpaper" as she calls it to your front panel. Achieving this was as simple as (Christina admits unintuitively) right clicking on a scroll bar. Now, it'd never occurred to me to right-click on a scroll bar, but I'm pretty damn glad that I did. Doing so exposes a number of sweet UI properties that I didn't even know existed - so go ahead: check it out for yourself! PS: oh, and subscribe to Christina's blog too - then remind us all about the good stuff there so it doesn't take me a year and a half to find cool stuff like this PSS: ...and here's a bunch of other awesome blogs that you might want to check out too.

If anyone sees him, can someone let Brian Powell know that I'll need to confirm he's paid for the BBQ this year before he's allowed in?

QUOTE (Draqo85 @ Jul 20 2008, 10:59 AM) Right - speed is certainly a vaild reason to use UDP, but only if you truly need it. Also, what are often thought of as limitations (no ability to garuntee packet delivery, no packet delivery tracking, multicasting, etc) can be very powerful (but with power comes responsibility ) TCP is great if you don't need those things, as it does it all in the background for you.

QUOTE (Yair @ Jul 20 2008, 10:41 AM) Right - after that, they're saying that it will be available on DVD only

QUOTE (normandinf @ Jul 19 2008, 02:04 PM) ...unless you impliment your own handling on top of UDP. That said, that's not something you'll want to do unless you have some very specific needs that TCP can't provide.

QUOTE (Omar Mussa @ Jul 18 2008, 03:57 PM) Yeah - it's easy to miss due to the title of the page. QUOTE (Neville D @ Jul 18 2008, 03:37 PM) Might be in an older version of LabVIEW? I have it working all the time with some of my exe's in LV8.* onwards. Thanks for pointing that out - I just tried it again and it works great :thumbup:

QUOTE (Daklu @ Jul 18 2008, 02:52 PM) It's a flavour of RT that you can run on a dedicated Real-Time Target (like a PC with the right network card). QUOTE (Daklu @ Jul 18 2008, 02:52 PM) And, um... what's RDA? http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/tut/p/id/3682' target="_blank">Remote Device Access.

QUOTE (Omar Mussa @ Jul 18 2008, 02:49 PM) Yes - just give them different names, put them in different locations, or use the "allowmultipleinstances=True" key in the ini file (the last option looks to be the best one, but I've never gotten it to work in a built exe). There are another couple of methods http://wiki.lavag.org/Multiple_Instances_of_LabVIEW' rel='nofollow' target="_blank">listed here.

QUOTE (Amiri McCain @ Jul 18 2008, 02:30 PM) Very cool!

QUOTE (Amiri McCain @ Jul 18 2008, 02:30 PM) Very cool, but I've asked the admin to move this to a separate thread, as it's not related to NI-Week 2008.

QUOTE (Amiri McCain @ Jul 18 2008, 01:22 PM) I have no idea what you are talking about - NI's hiring a cruise ship for us all to party on? Can you please provide a link to where you heard this, or give us some more information so we have context?
