QUOTE(crelf @ Nov 7 2007, 01:11 PM) I would have to say that the parent will never adopt the better practices of the child as the parent will see the innovative things that the children do as cute and truly excessive as all parents know everything and need to never adapt and grow and change. That would be just silly. Heck, if a parent actually changed because of the child... shit... the universe would swallow itself whole. No.... no.... it's much better if the natural order stays the same and the world can only get better by waiting for the old generations to die off and let the new generations fix their mistakes and eventurally not change for the following generation. ..... i have issues

can anyone tell me what the aspect ratio is in that last video?

What kind of sequence file are you talking about? Teststand?

Ever notice how you have to be dead nuts on the pixel to move any column separator w/in MCL's Tree's Textboxes. PIMA (PainInMyA$) Yup... definetly needs some usability tweaking. As far as the award for most underdeveloped performance in LV, I put my vote in for the multi-column-listbox for it's poor handling of .... well everything. Large datasets, the ability to hide columns and the scrolling with a large number of rows, and many more that just don't come to mind at the moment. oooooh. Let's all chime in about it.

QUOTE(Daddy-O @ Nov 6 2007, 04:07 PM) Well something that helps me a ton is where I have my taskbar. Everyone is foolish if they leave it on the bottom do something like this makes it much easier to deal w/ 20 VIs open at once. Also another tip. Use the QUICK LAUCH BAR, and Add an Address bar to it. like so

We need an audible warning for questions like this that make the screen flash and scream really loud"HOMEWORK ALERT!!!"BTW, Search the LV help for RGB and you should find information about converting.

QUOTE(Val Brown @ Nov 2 2007, 02:34 AM) Definetly. Here is a peek at how it used to have to be done. As you can see in the demo, OOP is simpler http://lavag.org/old_files/monthly_11_2007/post-208-1194027768.jpg' target="_blank">

There are 10 kind of people in this world, those that understand binary and those that don't

HAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHA :headbang: You chucklehead. Quit asking homework questions on the forums. Actually keep asking, It's nice to remember what its like to slack off. Well this brings up a good philosophical point. Each of us on the forum, use it to help answer questions we have on our jobs (aside from the lounge) So does that mean that students shouldn't use us as resources for their questions? I mean, a question like "what is the output of an ADC or how does resolution play into full scale gain" is fair no? Where else would they get the answer? Text book, sure, but so could we for some of our questions. Google or online(other than a forum)? sure but its just easier to ask a group of people interested in helping. Also isn't it better to get someone involved in the forums early on, and have them come back when they have a really cool discovery and share it(and the royalties )w/ all of us? eh, only the shadow knows

I've looked at your code and you're definetly doing awkward things with the references. But I need to better understand how you are trying to access this data. Typically you do not want to get values of controls using a reference. ESPECIALLY ones that are using LVOOP. LVOOP is REALLY intended to stay on the wire and I'm not surpirsed that you're ending up w/ issues when trying to access them via reference. Yeah.. just took another look at the code....you're doing some weird wiring. I think that the topic title is too specific and scared ppl away from replying, it did for me at first at least.

QUOTE(Aristos Queue @ Nov 1 2007, 11:52 AM) I would have to crack my head open and plug a RJ-45 into it to give you the proper link, as it has not been a discussion here on the forums. I needed to put it that way as I am not the original inventor of the concept. Scott Menjoulet is {resident LAVA lurker}. To sum up - The original idea was that for each exported function that you wanted a program to have, you would have to create a specific 2-mode sub-vi that on the first itteration, it took the specific functions data type and created a user event that was stored in a USR within itself and also finish and output to a dynamic registration node in the host VI. Then from somewhere else, client remote PC, another VI, whatever would dynamically run that same 2-mode in the app instance of the host and in the second mode that it's run (not first itteration because already in memory and run once when the host started) it will fire the user event with the data passed to it in the dynamic call from the other app instance(or same, if you so choose). so after that long summary, the original version did the same basic thing with the user events and firing them from a different app instance, but if you had 20 exported funcitons you would need 20 wires running into the register for dynamic events and 20 separate VI's and then 20 separate event cases regardless of what actually had to happen. Using LVOOP, it becomes sexy and scaleable and flexible and all those other things that LVOOP provides.

Take some time to check out http://forums.lavag.org/LVx-Exported-LV-Fu...tml&p=37874 It's a cool concept, that uses LVOOP to enables command and control of another LV: vi, exe, sub-panel vi, or any LV code w/ out much additional code.

LVx - Got it out the door finally and I'm really excited to hear what y'all have to say about it http://forums.lavag.org/LVx-Exported-LV-Fu...tml&p=37874 Go check it out!!!

Please checkout http://forums.lavag.org/LVx-Exported-LV-Fu...tml&p=37874 the example shows how you can register an EXE for a non exe based event. but you can use the same methodology to register the xControl for an external event or Register a program for an event within the xcontrol.

It may not help you find the solution specifically, but for reference, most of the NI PXI controllers are SBC w/ the necessary things hanging off for the peripherals.

Finally!! after so much time getting this together, I have something to show y'all. This concept of LVx is not new, but has gone through a revoltuion using LVOOP which should allow you to very easily add a small amount of code to your program that will allow it to accept commands from another LV based program in which it can easily have data passed to it, and have data passed back to the caller. Many custom implementations can be devised on how to do this, but I belive that we have hit a solid note in the area of re-use and compatability. I'm sure you will all have many questions as not everything is clear, but Rather than try to cover all bases, I'll take them as they come. You will find attached a demo, and exe, and the source to a technique that allows inter-LV communication (LV to LV, LV to LV built exe)(LVexe to LVexe)(etc) You should extract to a common directory, start the exe, then open the demo.vi and run it (with the appropriate computer name). Then change the class constant wiring as noted on the front panel.
