I would think that source distribution is your best bet. If you don't like the detailed hierarchy then you may use llb as your destination. You can put each class into separate llbs. If you want to use the EXE method that I think you would need to run the EXEs and communicate to them with an application reference mechanism and VI server calls. Not sure what you did exactly in the EXE implementation.

Could you do a quick video demo of what this thing does and post it up here? You can use Jing. It's free.

There's no such thing as "free time". All time is the same. You decide how to slice it up.

resolvd.

Am I suppose to be able to drag and drop from a browser to my diagram? Can't seem to do it. I'm using Chrome.

See Here.

Really? You write Mutha Fucken VIs too? I write VIs Mutha Fucka (VIMF)

I use methods and properties on the diagram all the time. However, I also use clusters or arrays of ctrl references passed into subVIs as well. I don't think it's a good idea to manipulate UI objects from within a class unless the main purpose of that class is to manipulate the UI. Like a UI class. In your example, I would create a method called Engine State. I would read that state, and if the engine was running, I would disable the button.

So I made a small tweak that should fix this issue. Moving forward. If anyone sees this again please post here so I can dig deeper (that's what she said!).

Why is it annoying? What is your goal?

Ya, I'm aware of this. On my radar.

Just want to give an update that we've moved this to the LAVA CR. That way, it's easier to do revision updates. And it gives better visibility. Also, there is a new version. That was just posted.

Solving this issue is as pleasurable to me as a root canal...

What are these 2 files? Your own custom files or part of LabVIEW run-time?

Is your laptop connected to the same internet service provider your desktop is?

The issue has been resolved. Please try uploading your code again.

Thanks for letting us know. Will look into it.

Really? Did you open up the code? UI Plugin Framework Solution.zip UI Framework (PC-QSM).zip They are also referenced here: http://decibel.ni.co.../docs/DOC-12645 I don't think it's an exact match to your proposed solution but it has the right elements.

See here: http://decibel.ni.co.../docs/DOC-15014 Specifically look at the UI Framework code. I think it kinda does what you are asking. Each message is a child class. This presentation was given at the CLA summit this year. I am very interested in this design pattern as well.

I'm glad it all worked out.

Is anyone else having issues accessing LAVA?

Please try now. It's fixed. There was a glitch due to the recent server upgrade.

I think this is what it's suppose to do since you are using a chart? You are updating the chart from inside the loop with new data. Once the chart buffer is full it will sweep from the beginning again. What is the update mode? Switch it to strip chart and see if that helps.

What version of LabVIEW did you upgrade your current LabVIEW application from? I assume it was working before (on the previous LV version) and now it's not working? How are you testing this on older LV versions? Are you down-saving the VIs? When you say the DLL returns all the correct info. How is that possible if it cannot communicate with the hardware? What is returned?
