Kia ora Paul! Please post any example VIs of things you've tried so far to we can point you in the right direction...

Thanks for your kind words Mike There is a lot of opportunity to expand my book, and yes, it's getting a bit long in the tooth (Vision 6.1), but I'm not planning a new version just yet for a couple of reasons: There's still a lot of very useful information in the current version I've got several other projects on the boil that are demanding a lot of my time There's a bunch of exciting things going on at V I Engineering - it's a great place to work and I'm heavily (and happily) absorbed there for the moment Now, if only I could squeeze a few more hours out of each day I think a 30 hour day would just-about satisfy me...

You've got your FP locked for that event case - unlock it and it will allow UI events:

I think what you're looking for is actually called NI Vision Builder AI, and yes, it is a commercial product of NI's - you've got to pay for it. As an aside - for those out there that are into vision, the NI Vision Builder AI has certainly matured since the last time I saw it - we're currently using it on a visual inspection project and it is quite fully functional for process-type work. Rumour has it that version 3 is due out sometime soon and it'll be even better - well worth a look.

Yep - that'll work too

LabVIEW ships with a handful of basic vision functions under the "Vision and Motion" functions palette, but you can also get an add-on toolkit called the NI Vision Development Module. You can convert integer arrays to bitmaps, so all you need to do is create a low bit width (8 bit) image space (IMAQ_Create) and then convert your Booleans into integers (0/255), populate them into the image (IMAQ_ArrayToImage) and then save it our to a bitmap (IMAQ Write Bitmap File): Download File:post-181-1151940289.vi Download File:post-181-1151940390.zip

Do you have the NI-Vision Toolkit installed?

Specifically here - this returns the handle to the current cursor - which allows you to determine its' status.

:thumbup: A big congratulations PJM - welcome to the club!

. Join us for the 2006 Annual LAVA / OpenG NI-Week BBQ at the Salt Lick! To continue the long-standing annual tradition of beer, BBQ and great times, you're invited to share an evening of social fun with the good people from LAVA (LabVIEW Advanced Virtual Architects), OpenG (LabVIEW

I'd love to see the actual data

I had a friend that, when he was driving, if you said "are we there yet?", he'd always reply "yes - get out" - irrespective of the speed you were doing down the freeway

There were obviously no ladies in the car, otherwise that strategy would never have been accepted

I heard that NI has dropped the Qubix platform - maybe they found an existing COTS system that was comparable - might just be a rumour though... PS: Welcome back Mike We missed you!

:question: Isn't cubix already dead?

You're welcome

Ahhh - I see. Well, you should be able to rebuild it from the following screenshots (essentially, it's similar to what you were doing, but with a picture control instead of a cluster):

You're posting in the wrong place - start your own thread.

Your post says you're using 5.1, but under your avitar it says you're using 5.1 & 7.1 - I don't have 5.1 on the PC I'm currently working on, so you'll have to live with this 7.1 version: Download File:post-181-1151415451.vi

Actually, it's Michael's fault! I used to check the LAVA forums once or twice a week, but since the appearance of the -All of LAVA- RSS feed, it turns up in a folder in my Outlook every 30 minutes (yeah, yeah - I know that's adjustable, but I just can't help it ) Cheers mate, no w. furries - she'll be right cobber!

Please post your example so we can help (either as a VI, or paste screen shots of the FP & BD).

This won't remove the front panel - it only locks it from editing. AFAIK, the only way you can remove a FP is to build the VI and select "remove FP" in the build settings...

That's what we like to hear - glad that it's stimulating your mind The reason we chose a simgle API for all entries is that of a level playing field - as you can see from the announcement positing, there are a number of judges involved in selecting the final five, and we felt that placing this limit on entries allows us all to have a baseline - a frame of reference - to assess your entries on. For your entry to be valid, it must work with the template API, although once this is all over and the winners announced, by all means: go nuts! You might even find someone else's submission better than yours, which will give you an even better platform to create a new version from. Although using the event structure and mouse input VIs are native to versions above 6.1, there may be methods that you can use to complete the tasks with 6.1 (I'm not saying there are, nor am I saying there aren't ). There are still plenty of people out there that are still using 6.1 (it is a pretty stable and functional version), and we didn't want to exclude those folks from entering the challenge.

Awwwwwww

I couldn't hold back any longer! Thanks guys - I appreciate it. Another thing I appreciate is LAVA - it's a great place to hang out, with some top-shelf users and great discussions (it's my sanctuary from the real world ) Shameless plug: If you appreciate LAVA as much as I do, follow the link below...
