Can someone tell me how to ignore password protected VI's when I use the find function in LV8? For some reason NI vi's are ignored but mine aren't. This seems a little selfish don't you think?

And your point?

I don't know how this flew under the radar but I'm impressed! http://www.jyestudio.com/musicdemo.html All hail extreme grand leader Enrique Vargas! :worship:

It's about time! Looks like LAVA stole the thunder this year.

Well, I think the interesting part is to see how believable this is. I'm surprised that many of you would think that I would agree to something that let's NI shutdown some of the most popular sections of the site. I thought that the biggest give-away that this was not real was this line here: "Also any postings regarding LabVIEW 8 and its deficiencies will also be deleted" C'mon, you really think any corporation would allow this to be publicly announced? I mean this screams "big brother". Perhaps I haven't made my views obvious enough. I mean this post here should say it all. Why would I make a post like that just two days before announcing the deal? Also, why would I announce it on a Saturday, not Monday? Perhaps it's believable because NI is known for corporate take-overs? That's not a very good image now is it? One thing that this April Fools joke has accomplished is to make us all aware, and especially me, of how powerful a force LAVA has become in the hearts and minds of all of you. I appreciate the sentiment and I'm sorry that this caused some grief. On the other hand, if you really feel that strong about keeping LAVA free and independent then you can help solidify our future by donating anything you can here or you can purchase a Premium Membership... LAVA is still running in the red.

April Fools. You can exhale now...

Well, it seems like Google took part today in the fun. http://www.google.com/romance/ Can anyone spot other fakes on the web?

Dear LAVA Members, Lately, some of you have noticed more activity on the forums from National Instruments employees. This is no coincidence. The LAVA site in its current form will cease to function as of Midnight tonight. Starting tomorrow, LAVA will be under new management. National Instruments Corporation has offered to purchase all the LAVA content, logo and all associated rights. I have agreed to this offer. The offer currently cannot be disclosed but more information will be released in the coming weeks. In order to comply with the new purchasing agreement, LAVA has agreed to shutdown certain sections of the forums. Starting Monday, the VI Scripting forum will no longer be accessible and all the content purged from our system. Also any postings regarding LabVIEW 8 and its deficiencies will also be deleted. The xnodes.lavag.org sub domain will also be removed. It is regrettable to see this content go but sacrifices have to be made in an effort to keep the site running. In addition NI has agreed to take over the LAVA Buglist, Wish List and FAQ forums. These forums will be assimilated into the existing NI website. This is an exciting moment for LAVA I hope everyone will help support this transition.

God, I love this guy! You can't pay for lines like this.

You Are Rowlf the Dog Mellow and serious, you enjoy time alone cultivating your talents. You're a cool dog, and you always present a relaxed vibe. A talented pianist, you can play almost anything - especially songs by Beethoven. "My bark is worse than my bite, and my piano playing beats 'em both." The Muppet Personality Test http://www.blogthings.com/themuppetpersonalitytest/ BTW, when asked what kind of code you want, select BBCODE.

We don't mind. However be warned, we speak our minds here and the undesirable posts are not removed by NI, so carefull about what hornet's nest you poke a stick at.

Here's your solution... Download File:post-2-1143581551.vi

Yes, I can see the LV angle but I think NI has to make some mods to the exisitng LV. For example in order to wire up an Icon you either need very pointy fingers or a zoom feature to blow up the icon image.

Thanks Jim, I was actually doing this already but it wasn't working for me. It turns out that one of the menu functions was erroring out and thus not displaying the line. I was trying to perform a "disable" action on the line by accident. You can't do that to APP items.

Does anyone know how to programmatically add a separator line in a right-click context-menu?

Usually this language problem\instrument communication issue is solved by adding the following entry to you executable ini file:useLocaleDecimalPt=False

Actually, you don't need to select "Add into Post". You only need to do that if you want to be fancy and position your image somewhere within your text.

Am I missing something? Why not create a custom conditional with any datatype you want?

Yes, this is true. After 500 posts you can customize your "slogan" underneath your avatar. This is available from your control panel. Click on Profile Settings.

OK, so even I can learn a few new tricks... [LV8] By default when you click and drag a block diagram object, you get an outline of the object under you mouse pointer. If you tap the spacebar while you're draging, you will see the actual image of the object under your pointer. Now isn't that cute!

Happy Birthday to Jim Kring who turns the big 30 today!! We'd all like to thank Jim for his enormous contributions to the LabVIEW community including the founding of OpenG. Keep up the good work Jim and may you enjoy many more years of LabVIEW development time...

iddx, if you have assisted this person by posting some VI's somewhere then please put a link to that code here for completeness.

OK, people let's get back on track. This is actually a nice feature request. I think it would be very usefull. :thumbup: Somehow to augment this would be the ability to add a comment which acts like a strict-type. For example, I am always wanting to add comments next to enums to list descriptions documentation about what each enum element does and how it ties-in to other processes in the application. If you use an enum for messaging commands then a small description list of each command next to the enum is very helpfull. It would be nice to copy this comment to the recipient VI that handles\parses the command enum. If later you decide to add a command\enum element then you edit the comment in one place and then all other copies of the comment would get updated.
