What would be the effect (on the data) of transformation. I guess nothing: Ton

That should not happen unless you have the options for the Open VI Reference Function set to 0x04. here's a quote from the help on that value: Ton

Add a '%d - ' before the previous format string, to get two outputs: one with the number, and one with the timestamp. Ton

Here's the formatter for the time format. %b will match the abbreviated month name, this string is locale dependent on dutch system May isn't recognized but Mei is. So if your locale settings is different than the file format you will have a problem. Another option is to replace every month string with a number (Jan -> 1) EDIT: the following code will get the date: %<%d%b%y>T expand it to get the time as well. Ton

Not really sharing, but you can use the Boolean XControl to load images from disk into a running boolean. Ton

You can use scan from string to get your data as a timestamp. Ton

Hi Farid, do you have any code where we can expand on? Ton

Could you at this info to the LabVIEW wiki? Ton

Thanks for pointing that! Don't know how that changed. Ton

Since the RSS-feed only posts the first message of each thread, I have been relying on the View Unread Content as my feed. However since last weekend the start date is being reset upon each visit to this page. That screenshot is from this morning, and shows only the posts of the last night. I left yesterday without readins all the messages, now I have to digg through each forum to get all the messages. Please fix the RSS-feed. Ton

How about: "auto-save in the temp directory, upload to a webservice and post the URL of the image to the clipboard" function? Ton

That sounds like what I tried to do: <user.lib>\a.lvlib is the main lvlib it has two friends: <user.lib>\b.lvlib c:\mydocs\bt.lvlib I develop my code in bt.lvlib, and I tried to use the standard NI Source Distribution method, to rename c:\mydocs\bt.lvlib into c:\mydocs\built\b.lvlib, this however fails since 'the item is allready in memory', (note that a.lvlib is being used throught my code in LabVIEW tools that run in the background during development, but I have a feeling this is not the cause, could I have discovered a bug?). So this basically rules out using friendship for my in this case. That sounds like a gateway and is certainly valid, but a little bit too complicated for this case. Ton

I don't think we need a tight naming scheme. I think we need an on-topic naming scheme together with some categories and tags. A guidance might be the Linux development, if you look at the Ubuntu packages set, you see there is a limited list of categories, and I believe a package can fit in two categories. When doing a search, one just types in what comes to mind 'source control', now the package manager searches through the available packages and returns a sorted list of packages. These can be filtered upon categories. I think there are several ways of sorting, but the first is: Popularity With VIPM we can use the internet connection to have a database where the popularity of packages is traced. A system would be '+1' for each install '+2' for each package that is installed after 4 weeks. '-1' for each uninstall. This data can be anonymized, or only kept local in the current repository. Relevance Relevance can be calculated upon, does the search term comes up in the packag name, tag-list or description Code standard Paid Open source License I think the default sort should be 'Popularity', which can be influenced by 'Relevance' (for instance a popularity score with 80, but relevance 5, could be below pop=30, relevance=95). Ton

You can use the 'Value Change' event to detect if an item is selected. What kind of events do you want to create? Ton

Is it possible to load a functional global that keeps the ' application' alive? Ton

No, the WM_Seticon returns a handle with the old icon. You can drop this VI: SetWindowIcon.vi To set or Reset the icon of a front panel vi! Here's some little demo code: That sets and resets the icon of a FP window. Note that if you don't reset the icon it will be in memory until the FP window is closed. Can anybody tell me how the code runs on: LabVIEW 32 on Windows64-bit LabVIEW 64 on Windows64-bit EDIT: Fixed VI to manage multiple windows Ton

Yes that definitly works! Thanks for correcting me. Now comes the bonus question: Mac Linux Ton

No i'm not really looking for a hack, I just want change the icon of one dialog window. Here's the code I currently have which doesn't work: It seems like the LoadImage works properly, but when I run it I can see that alt-tab the default labview icon is removed but not replace by the icon I want., but I cannot get it back. SetWindowIcon.vi (LabVIEW 2009), you should be able to run the code wit any bitmap file. Ton

Does anybody know if it's possible to change the icon (taskbar/titlebar) of a singel window? I'm looking for a solution that might be windows only! Win32 is accepted as well. Ton

It's being used in the Code Capture Tool. Ton

I hope the NI LabVIEW sales department didn't went to the Business of Software 2009 conference and saw this (great) speech by Joel Spolsky. The following still is at 25:31 and I quote: Ton

I added a Hardware idea to the NI idea exchange: Add LabVIEW events based on hardware Ton

A repair fixed it. What really weird was that only on e install of VIPM did that, and that error logs on disc had some Unicode issues as well. Never really studied it though. Ton
