Have you seen A Beautiful Mind? In all seriousness, it might be an important movie for you to watch with your loved-ones - people that you trust and can support you...

Hey All, Here's an odd one - I'm programmatically updating the description of a control. I'm using the description of another VI - simply copying the test out of the VIs description into the control's description. The text makes it in there okay, but the text in the description of the control isn't wrapped in the Context Help window like it is in the VI's description. Hovering the mouse over the VI (the description source): Hovering the mouse over the control (the description sink): Is there any way to force the text to be wrapped in the Context Help window (I should mention that I'm using Windows user32.dll functions to lock the Context Help window to particular dimensions)? If I can't do that, then I'd be happy to manually insert CR+LF into my string (it's dirty, but it'll work) - does anyone know the tag to do that (it's not <p> - the Context Help window uses a very limited set of HTML tags)?

That's actually doable - several aircraft simulators use pressure suits to trick the body into feeling Gs, so why not slip into a pressure suit to code in G? The more items in the array, the heavier it gets Now that's very very cool!

Now you're talkin'! Coding up a complex app could become the new high-intensity work-out! :laugh:

I wonder if it's got anything to do with the ability to have sub panels and pane separators?

That does sound pretty neat. Personally, I'd rather not see an actual 3-D development environment just yet - I'd rather the 2-D style interface as seen in the Minority Report - you can grab a palette, open it up, move it somewhere else on your desktop, etc. Maybe even just have an "active" area - only the code in there is actually run when you hit run - more of a physical desktop paradigm where your tools, palettes and code snippets are just sitting on your desktop... For those unfamiliar with the Minority Report, you can see the interface we're talking about here (click on scrubbing the image)

but it's purely a selfless act - to suggest a forum where he may find the support he needs...

That's just what I was going to ask... So you want to convert an image from 3 colours to 256 colours? Do you want to do this in LabVIEW or are you just asking if any of us have used any software to acheive this? Please post a copy of this image so we can better help you...

My personal opinion: Alfa - it's been fun - but the "L" in LAVA is for LabVIEW. Sure, the "LAVA Lounge" is where you can discuss just about anything, but perhaps your and our needs would be better served if you took your posts to a more appropriate forum like this one or this one (Google is a wonderful thing at least 97.7% of the time). Perhaps once you found such a place, you could come back and give us a link to it (just one post would suffice), but until then I'm going to be blocking your posts - I'm just not interested.

You're not confused Ben - you've got it!

Yeah - but then you've got to pee every 15 minutes Sounds like he worked for a water company Personally, a Berocca before you drink a tall glass of water after you drink, and try to stick to the same class of beverage in one sitting (eg: start with beer, end with beer. start with whisky, end with whisky. start with rum, end with karaoke...)

Do you know what this topic reminds me of? Beer!

That's hillarious - I wonder if "gingerman" was thinking of that photo when he wrote that entry I remember my first trip to NI-Week (subsequently my first trip to the States) - I was introduced to Shiner Bock at the Aliiance party (Maggie Mays if I remember correctly). I had my CLD exam the next day, so about half way through the night I switched from Bock to a light beer. That was my mistake: in Australia, "light" means less (usually half) alcohol, whereas the US deems it to mean less calories. Sure enough, the next day I not only cancelled my CLD, I missed half a day of the conference. That said, I did feel quite buff...

Bring it on! I've walked past it before - sounds like that was a mistake! Mmmmmmm - beer

"Moderate levels of consumption of beer have been shown to reduce stress and the chances of heart disease" - drink up Irene! :beer: :laugh:

I agree - in edit mode, the LabVIEW help should be about the LabVIEW use of the structures, not the custom code that you've put inside it. There was a discussion recently on documentation on the BD - try a search (it was in the last couple of months or so...)

NB: The Fosters served here in the US (brewed in Canada?) is a very different brew than that which is served in Australia. I had a Foster's a couple of months ago at a party and didn't mind the taste at all, but I certainly wouldn't classify the Foster's that you can get in Australia as drinkable (I've often heard it referred to as 'recycled' beer: fill a trough with real beer, have a horse drink it and put a bucket under the horse = Foster's ) Beer in Australia is localized to states - there's no "Australian for Beer", and it's every Australian's right, nay duty, to defend their states' beer in a pub brawl That's one of the great things about Oz being part of the Commonwealth - there are "English-style" fish 'n' chips shops everywhere (they also do great hamburgers and meat pies - how I miss the humble meat pie!) If you ever get the chance to tuck into English-style fish 'n' chips, you're in for a treat - the chips are traditionally server with lashings of white vinegar (sounds odd, but it's bloody delicious!) Bugger! Now my mouth's watering... I've never been that far up on the East coast, but the seafood back home is amazing (and cheap). There's nothing like jumping on your bike (mine was a Honda CA-750 cruiser - that's another thing I miss), crusie along the beach road, pull up at a fish 'n' chips shop and grab a handfull of king prawns (shrimp), a Balmain Bug, a crusty bread stick and a great beer...

We've got multiple sites and a SCC database that you are using is often in another state. I use VSS on the server side and Source OffSite on the client side (it has a server-side broker). The client looks and feels a lot like VSS, but with a few extra features (a progress bar for one - why did they leave that out of VSS?!, as well as the ability to see full paths in the status window) and because it's a broker-based system, network outages don't corrupt your database (the broker talks to the DB and then serves everything, optionally encrypted, over the network to the client). So - if you are forced by an organizational restriction to use VSS on the server side, then SoS is an excellent option.

97.7% worse!

The Microsoft Developer Network is your best bet - just about all of the MS dll's are documented there. Be carfeul though: make sure the page you're looking at is appropriate for the OS you'll be working on (they often have diferent pages for the same named dll, but Win 95, 98, 2000...)

That's indeed true - infact, we brush our teeth in beer (and only the ladies rinse ) Once all the beer runs out, we'll drink water, and then when all the water's run out, we'd rather perish than drink Foster's...

As a typical Australian, I can never pass up a beer-related bet - you're on! But how do we determine the NI is "actively" working on it? Just having a patent and thinking about it in an ethereal way every now and then doesn't surmount to active development...

Well... I don't think that having a patent means that you're actively working on something - just trying to protect your idea. That said, I'd sure like to program in a 3D LabVIEW 'world" (but not if they go for those VR glasses - they give me a headache )

Post your code and we might be able to offer suggestions.
