I’ve always wondered who all these people are that visit the LAVA Forums but never post. There’s about 7000 registered members but only a handful post irregularly. I know many of you subscribe via RSS and never visit the site. Now’s your time to shine, lurkers! Just pop a comment here, no reason to be shy. Let us know who you are, where you’re from, what you do, whatever. It will help you get to know some of the other lurkers. . For those of you still scratching your heads as to what a lurker is, a lurker is a person that decides to stay shy in either a chat room, a forum or a blog, by not contributing their comments and electing to just watch the babble ensue in front of them. Now that made no sense, but I’m sure you got it.

And yes, if you are one of those regulars you can comment too.

Just want to let you know that as a courtesy to normal members. I am allowing you to change your display name once. The opportunity do do this expires on Sunday night. Some display names are ugly because of a previous login limitation prohibiting spaces or underscores. I have lifted this limitation so now you can beautify your display name and use spaces or underscores or whatever.

Note: this is a one-time deal. Make sure you are sure of the new name because you won't be able to change it starting Monday.

You can change your name in your control panel. on the left side select Change Display name.

It seems that based on AQ's earlier post, there is no solution other than to create 9 VI's.

Here you go.

Edit: Sorry, just realized you need the status of the file not the control. Hmm.

I can only get this across with some real code. Find attached a working Xcontrol that does this in 8.2.1.

Edit: In my rush i forgot to add the destroy code, but i think you can take it from there.

You can use the Init ability, only make sure you use a dummy registration (as I showed in my Nugget and NI in their example) in the Init.

If there's the need for the event registration write the correct control reference to the event registration (if I'm right that's exactly what I did in the Boolean XControl).

Ton

yes, this should work if you use a null ctrl refnum constant.

QUOTE(DaveKielpinski @ Oct 11 2007, 01:32 AM)

... I only see the event registration part. Do you then add a case to the event structure of the Facade to handle the event?

Yes, I didn't show that case. You need to add it.

QUOTE(DaveKielpinski @ Oct 11 2007, 01:32 AM)

I forgot - You could put that in the Execution State Changed Event. Run mode false case.

Can you post an image of what you want it to look like? 3D meaning system control?

I just added a stats page for the Code Repository (Downloads) area.

Code Repository Statistics

The link to this is accessible from the footer of the Code Repository homepage. It's called: Downloads system statistics

Can you do this by opening the front panel of the read from spreadsheet file VI?

Yes, you can.

Did you try entering a filepath in the box labeled "file path".

..oh, and then run the VI using the arrow button thingie in the top left corner.

Try using the "sort array" function in the array palette.

I meant to say disconnect...

It might be like the bundle/unbundle by name where you can only remove an element when it's fully disconnected.

Ton

No Joy.

Both of those features are in LabVIEW 8.5.

Yes that's great Christina, but...

NI always sticks to some (still unknown to me) strange internal policy of not going "all the way". Why? Case in point:

Why can't I apply the right-click setting (that you just mentioned) to more than one item at a time? Aaarggg!!

... Maybe even the RSS feeds from LAVA could be "podcasted".

Imagine listening to "the 5th dimension" on the way to work (long commutes only, and no carpooling; you don't know who might be offended :laugh: )

Well, here ya go:

http://podcasts.odiogo.com/labview-advanced-virtual-architects-lava-forums/podcasts-html.php' target="_blank">LAVA RSS feed Podcasted.

Enjoy. :thumbup:

Thanks, here is the result... much better.

I don't know what the "NI recommended way" is because they don't have any documentation on this, but here is how I'm doing it and it works:

How about detachable event structure nodes?

Does anyone know how to replace the ugly 3d cursor tree with the system tree?

I already tried doing a simple replace in the control editor but I always crash LabVIEW 8.5 every time.

Could this be related? I see it in my dependancy list:

But no such items exists in the project file.

I can't follow the dicussion but maybe this is the solution:

http://lavag.org/old_files/monthly_10_2007/post-2399-1191994384.png' target="_blank">

So remove everything beloning to that item.

Never tried it but hey

Ton

Yes, remove it but how?

I think this will be an interesting thread. Let's try something else:

Attached VI is in 8.5 and need TS 4.0

The only comment I have to the picture is:

"And NI says it's easy to customize a userinterface in LabVIEW for TestStand".

//Mikael

Ya well, that's total http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bull_shit' target="_blank">BS. It's pretty sad that TestStand was made by the same company that makes LabVIEW. You can't tell.

I would like to be able to remove an element from the register for events callback node.

Whenever the dependency list is updated, the project changes.
