I just added a new forum, see: Code Repository Code In-Development. This forum can be used by anyone who wants to present some code and evolve a discussion and review where the final product will be a submission to the Code Repository (CR). There is currently no requirement to start a discussion in this forum in order to have code approved for the CR. Also, just because code is discussed in this forum does not necessarily mean that it will end up in the CR. The current CR requirements have not changed, See: Code repository support forum. Some other use-cases: You can start discussions in this forum and present completed Code Repository code when you need to get feedback from the community (or the CR review committee) before you submit it to the Code Repository. You have some cool code but don't have time to evolve it into a proper submission. Others in the community can take it over (giving proper credit) and evolve it into a CR submission. You have an idea and really need some help from the community to get it implemented. You have finished code and need the community to do some Beta testing before an official CR release. This can also be for existing CR code that has a new upcomming version release. The list can go on... To get the forum started I moved some existing threads there. I know there are several others I missed. Send me a PM to let me know which others you want moved.

This is the whole point of the Wiki.

I've added Hebrew to the language list. The next step is to create a dedicated language sub-forum. The biggest step is actually to get the word out to everyone who speaks Hebrew so they can find this forum. That's where the work is. If you feel strongly about it and help then that would be the next step...

This offer is now ended. Only Premium Members can change their name moving forward.

File a bug report with NI.

So I split out these topics into another thread so I don't hijack the original discussion. QUOTE(tcplomp @ Oct 18 2007, 09:21 PM) Basically, my thoughts are that you will probably have much larger bandwidth capability by placing the code on sourceforge. Also, getting SVN running on the LAVA server will probably take several weekends and is not something i am going to enjoy. I suggest just a forum called: "CR in-developement" which will have threads for various code projects. The first post of each thread can have a link to the SVN repository info on sourceforge. The nice thing about LAVA is that we are reaching a nice critical mass. Discussions are alive and exciting here. We've created a pretty decent community and I think we can get a lot done. It took five years to reach this level of involvement and I don't want to break the flow by telling everyone that they now must go use the weak Sourceforge forum tools for discussions. You can have the code on the sourceforge SVN for development but keep the discussions here on LAVA. only the released versions should go in the Code Repository after development has reached a stage for release.

I have an idea. Should we move this thread and other potential CR candidates to a special "CR in-development" area to better facilitate this? I think there is enough momentum here to justify this. After a bunch of thrashing, we can produce some decent CR code. Thoughts?

You mean these? Download File:post-2-1192736521.zip Qualified Name Array To Single String.vi takes a VI's qualified name, given as an array of strings, and converts it to a single colon-delimited string. This VI may be useful for working with VIs owned by any library type, and it is used as a subVI of the other two VIs in this .zip file. Is This Control Of This LabVIEW Class.vi takes a control refnum and a LabVIEW class refnum and tells whether the control is an instance of the given LabVIEW class. It returns true for regular class controls/indicators and for XControls of the class. Is This Control Of LabVIEW Object Class.vi is the same as the previous, except it does not take a class refnum for input. LabVIEW Object is the built-in class that is the ancestor of all other LabVIEW classes, and this VI specifically checks to see if the given control is an instance of this class.

I have a better idea. Why doesn't someone start a wiki article that answers this question since it's been the 1000th time someone has asked this on the forums. We currently have a calling a VI category which has bits and pieces but no one comprehensive article. There realy is many ways to call a VI let us list the ways and what are the differences. An overview article is really necessary here.

QUOTE(silmaril @ Oct 18 2007, 04:46 AM) Sure, and probably some time after that you will see LV 9.0. Oh and probably sometime after that you will see 9.1 then 9.1.1 then 10.0 then... So?

Threaded and outline mode was removed because it causes more problems to 95% of the people than the benefit it offered the few that liked it.

QUOTE(Dean Mills @ Oct 15 2007, 01:34 PM) Many say that I have a God-like http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Omnipresence' target="_blank">omnipresence. That's not true. It just appears that way.

QUOTE(Justin Goeres @ Oct 16 2007, 11:17 AM) I prefer at least to always remind everyone that the 24MB run-time works just fine thank you.

I would recommend this for a Code Repository candidate. Please consider.

QUOTE(Darren @ Oct 15 2007, 12:09 PM) Using the Register Event Callback node.

Ok, this may be a bug, I (or LabVIEW) may be retarted, or fill in the blank. How do you debug callback VI's? I assumed that you could just put a breakpoint in the callback VI and the instance would break, but it doesn't. Any ideas?

It never ceases to amaze me where LAVA threads end up... but still, looking for LAVA lurkers out there. Just post and say Hi.
