Maybe the list on the right of this page can help: http://www.devx.com/amd/article/20342 Have you tried installing each component from its MSI file individually? Right back atcha!

:thumbup: Nicely done Jacemdom - perhaps this could be a great addition to the LAVA Code Repository?

Hey - I'd forgotten about those! I'm sure I still have the original CD around here somewhere...

Mike Holmstrom did a custom OO-based right click menu a couple of years ago - I'm sure that could be modified pretty easily to work the way you want, although it needs the Endevo OO toolkit to work.

I'll start the ball rolling (pun intended) with a nice cup of tea... <embed style="width:400px; height:326px;" id="VideoPlayback" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://video.google.com/googleplayer.swf?docId=-2367646121273499414&hl=en"> </embed>

Like a custom right-click menu? You can do those in 8.

You've obviously never written a book before When I wrote mine, the closer I got to the deadline, the more my life went on hold

Mission acomplished! :laugh:

Now all I need to do is submit intelligent posts Unfortunayely, it's quality that's important... PS: I passed Jim while he was writting his book, so that doesn't count

I think you're misunderstood me - I live out in the suburbs, where it's affluent and pretty-much main-street USA, so yes, the "area of Detroit" isn't represented in the video, but I do think it is a pretty fair representation of the downtown area of the city of Detroit. Also, and I don't mean that in a disparraging way at all, so your "ouch" is certainly unjustified: Detroit is my favorite city in the US, so, again, you've misunderstood me. I get downtown as ofter as I can (great bars, resturants, atmosphere, and the Tigers!), and I truly think that it's a beautiful city in its own way - although the start of the film shows some grafitti and run-down buildings, it's still beautiful (and who in the US can say that their city doesn't have at least some of the same?). There was no malice in my post - none at all - so if you read it that way then perhaps it's your perception that's clouding your perception

I've got to agree on this methodology - put the class before the subclass (it's like when I was in the air force - no one asked supply for a blue short-sleeved shirt, we all requested a shirt short-sleeved blue ) It makes a lot of sense when categorizing your code. I'm also a fan of the dot model, so your example would become project.Toolkit.Filename.vi

Well, I've been here for a year now, so I thought I'd give you all a look at my home away from home: <object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,29,0" width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vE21mRGXpdY" /><param name="quality" value="high" /><param name="menu" value="false" /><param name="wmode" value="" /><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vE21mRGXpdY" wmode="" quality="high" menu="false" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="350"></embed></object> This was created by Jacob Janisse on techno.France and pretty much sums up my favorite US city...

Can't you just use the "Call Setup > Reload on Each Call" for that? I agree on this one, and as I said in my previous post, I don't think this would be difficult for the NI team to do (although I'm not an NI R&D team member and I haven't seen the code behind LabVIEW ) Again, can't this be acheived using "Call Setup > Reload on Each Call"?

attributes are great - you can have as many as you like, as well as the attribute being a variant itself, which means that you can attach any sort of metadata to a variant. This opens a bunch of opportunities including building architectures around dynamic data streams - they're awesome! (...and fast too )

We don't? I think MIcrosoft is going to be making this even more important in upcoming release(s) of their OS...

I'm failing to see the difference then - what's the point of having the new VI type if it's going to have a dataspace? Surely the improvement wouldn't be that much...(?)

That's for Premium Members only - check out the tutorial on the private Premium Members forum (that's where we all go to snicker about the plain Members ) Members: Would you like to snicker about plain Members too?

I don't think that would be too difficult to create, and I agree that it would be very useful. I don't see how that's possible - as a dataflow language, data has a type, so if you act on it with another datatype coersion is going to happen (or it's going to break). Unless, that is, you're just considering this as an extendsion of the polymorphism that you talk about above... Hey hey hey - never say never! There's a bunch of great thinkers in the NI R&D world, and they've added some wonderful stuff - things that I had always wanted, but never expected from LabVIEW. Let's give them a little respect for that, and not write-off features because of your bias...

I agree that a stateless VI could be a really powerful addition, but I'm at a loss to understand how one could call itself recursively without the dynamic call - when it's running it has a dataspace, so how can it go into stateless state and then get its dataspace back when the next level down has completed?

Hey ex-minion - can you upload your code (or at least a screenshot of it) so we can have a look?

Tell me about it - maybe my wife will finally watch it now

Sorry for my late reply, but I just found this one! PS: an hour?!? What the hell is wrong with you man?!? <embed style="width:400px; height:326px;" id="VideoPlayback" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://video.google.com/googleplayer.swf?docId=6346879660168193189&hl=en"> </embed>
