True, LabVIEW has limitations. That's why we're all here pushing the limits right? It's also true that you can have a successful lifelong career in LabVIEW and even run a software company that uses LabVIEW to its core, without ever having to touch a sigle line of text code. Oh, and it's fun too. The nice thing about all this: I never even once throughout the years doubted my decision to base my career around LabVIEW.

The thing with LabVIEW is, either you "get it" or you don't. Those that don't will never change, so don't bother. Our job is to try and find those that "get it" and help them grow. Hmm, that sounds like a religion.

For now it's stuff that I feel needs to be featured.

[Discuss] Icon Editor API
Michael Aivaliotis replied to jgcode's topic in Code Repository (Uncertified)
For some reason, links on the LAVA CR pages look a little different. I'm working on fixing this. Edit: This is now fixed. The links on the LAVA CR match the look on the rest of the site. -
I'd like to add a bit more to this so I don't sound harsh. I like the idea of overhauling the probes and the icon editor. It's a step in the right direction. They just both need improvements to make them really useful for me and not get in the way of my workflow. They're not there yet.
-
I hate, hate hate hate the new probe windows.... The new Icon editor is next on the list.

In Vista, User Access Control was a pain. However, this is much improved in Windows 7. I hardly get any confirmation dialogs except when installing software. Even though I now work off-of a Mac and have delegated Windows 7 to a VM, I have to say that I really like the new control panel in Windows 7. It's more task centered and makes more sense to me than the old way.

I seem to always be using LabVIEW 32 bit. The executables built work on 32bit and 64 bit Windows.
-
Aaaah! Seriously? That's it. I just never clicked on that setting before. I just assumed that if it wasn't transparent then it would be white. I guess at some point in the past, NI decided to make free labels yellow. Because I swear they used to be white with black borders. Anyway. Thanks for forcing me to try it.
-
I've seen this somewhere a few years back but haven't been able to figure it out recently. I want to change my default free labels to have a light yellow background and a black border. I like that style for comments a lot. I thought this could be done via the LabVIEW options, but It's obviously not there. Then I remember someone created a palette item which you could drop on the diagram to do this. Any ideas? This would be a great feature to have built into LabVIEW. But actually a better code commenting tool is sorely needed anyway.

My NI Days (London) 2010 Presentation
Michael Aivaliotis replied to dannyt's topic in LabVIEW General
Curiosity. It's interesting that you pronounce VI as "Va-ee" instead of "Vee-eye". Does anyone else do this? Just curious. -
My NI Days (London) 2010 Presentation
Michael Aivaliotis replied to dannyt's topic in LabVIEW General
If you want to jump to Danny's presentation click on slide #17. -
Actually this is not required anymore since VIPM 2010 already does a mass compile after installing packages now.
-
The problem I have is that when I rename the class, I end up with object controls and indicators that contain the label of the original class. Is there an easy way, outside of manually renaming, to do this? Maybe someone has a tool out there? Not sure why LabVIEW doesn't do this for me. I can't be the only one with this problem.
-
There's no way that I know of. BTW, you should remove the changelog from the description since this is now built into the LAVA CR website. You can probably remove old versions of your submission as well, to clean things up.

This LAVA Code Repository Download is no longer distributed or supported by LAVA. Please follow this link for further support.

I think the "Like" feature is new! It is currently working for CR items due to the recent update to the CR pages. However, this feature will soon be migrated to the forum topics as well. So, stay tuned!

Format Painter for FP and BD objects
Michael Aivaliotis replied to Michael Aivaliotis's topic in LabVIEW Feature Suggestions
Yes. This is it. -
Please Kudo this suggestion. I think it's a great idea and should be seriously investigated by NI for future implementation. Perhaps in 2012. I'd also like to see some programmatic support as well. Via a scripting property. Copy and paste properties. It should be smart so that it ignores incompatible properties instead of failing. http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW-Idea-Exchange/Format-Painter-for-FP-and-BD-objects-think-Word-Excel-format/idi-p/1001995

That's a good question Cat. There doesn't seem to be a search field for that in the Advanced Search for Members. I think it's an oversight. Since you're trying to kill some time. Go over to the Invision forums and make a feature suggestion: http://community.invisionpower.com/forum/298-ipboard/
