Why wait people? Just download it and enter your existing SN... sheesh

In LabVIEW 8.20 Help:

If you are creating a tool and updating it like this, I suggest you submit it to the Code Repository. This is why the code repository was created. As you can see there's already a GOOP category.

This is not a show stopper but I noticed it. Go to the diagram. Click the coloring tool and select the system custom color picker. pick a color. go back to the diagram and color it. Notice that the VI titlebar does NOT have the focus. Switch to the select tool with the spacebar. Select some code and drag it around. Notice that the VI titlebar STILL does NOT have the focus. Grab the titlebar and move the window around. Eventually the focus will come back. <OBJECT CLASSID="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" WIDTH="881" HEIGHT="555" CODEBASE="http://active.macromedia.com/flash5/cabs/swflash.cab#version=5,0,0,0"> <PARAM NAME=movie VALUE="temp.swf"><PARAM NAME=play VALUE=true><PARAM NAME=loop VALUE=false><PARAM NAME=quality VALUE=low> <EMBED SRC="http://forums.lavag.org/index.php?act=Attach&type=post&id=3408" WIDTH=881 HEIGHT=555 quality=low loop=false TYPE="application/x-shockwave-flash" PLUGINSPAGE="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash"> </EMBED></OBJECT> Download File:post-2-1156911542.swf

I agree with this one use case. The DAQ assistant express VI's are usefull because they allow code auto-generation of standard VI's. Very usefull for creating real applications.

I don't use express VI's and I admit I was very dissapointed to see the file dialog function dissapear only to be replaced by an express VI. Perhaps more annoying than this is the fact that they added a new feature that is only available via a configuration page. I'm talking about the multi-select. So you think that if you break the express vi you will get the primitive with the multi-select as a wired input? Nope. You STILL have a property page. What's the solution? You end up creating your own wrapper that allows the wiring of the selection mode.

There's a lot going on here that perhaps you haven't considered. When your app is an exe, how will you store the settings so that they can be recalled later? You probably need to save them to a config file and then read them upon startup. Also, you need to decide on a storage mechanism of your variables that is internal to your program. You can use a local variable as stated to read the array but then how do you pass it throughout your app? Wires and shift registers come to mind but you might want to consider functional globals. Here is a link to a post I made way back that has a working example code of what you might want to do:http://forums.lavag.org/index.php?s=&s...post&p=8956 Notice that, once the configuration panel is closed, the configuration is available from anywhere in the program via the functional global. If you look inside the functional global you will see a state that handles saving of the configuration. Here is where you would implement your preffered method of configuration saving so oan executable can read it. This design pattern may seem trivial but it works.

Listen carefully as the sound of the motorbike gets closer then... <embed style="width: 400px; height: 326px;" id="VideoPlayback" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://video.google.com/googleplayer.swf?docId=-7437979581910751050&hl=en"> Also look at how quick the guy gets up to start swearing at the driver.

Yes, I HATE those ads! I love this one:<br> <object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kk15iIkKofc"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kk15iIkKofc" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="350"></embed></object> <br>I also like the Linux sidekick guy. Well done.

Pretty cool!!

So I guess the answer is 100% Yes, but that's not my fault. It's a limitation in the polling system.

Here is a revised poll to reflect the recent release of LV8.20

Dude! the Autotool is my favorite LabVIEW enhancement. I always lock it on. Can't live without it. Now with the Aristos tip, it's even better!

Where have you been?http://forums.lavag.org/index.php?act=modu...=si&img=813

Yes, and isn't it interesting to see (in the X-Files) how much the US looks like British Columbia? The series was was filmed primarily in Vancouver and the surrounding areas.

The CIA perhaps as an intelligence organization, but the FBI (as a US federal body) does not have jurisdiction in other countries. In other words, it would be like a New York cop flying to Berne and arresting a robber.Having lived on both sides of the border, i can tell you there are lot's of reasons that the FBI would love to be able to walk on over to Canada and perform arrests (lax Canadian marijuanna laws for example), but just can't. I've seen other movies where this has happened. It seems that whenever american law enforcement want to fight crime in Canada, the borders magically dissapear. In Die Hard: With a Vengeance the bad guys are chased by the US police over the border and the chase continues into Canada without skipping a beat. :laugh:

Just finished watching the movie flightplan. Yes, believe it or not... I have a life. What struck me as odd, was to see the FBI in Canada! I'm sure it would seem just as odd for an american to see the RCMP on US soil. After the movie, I did a search to confirm what I already knew was true: To quote moviemistakes.com: I know it's "just a movie" but errors this blatant look so bad on the filmakers, and gives false information to an unsuspecting viewer.
