If I want to embed an image from the NI forums (eg: http://forums.ni.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/15119iC34E97684EA14EAC/image-size/original?v=mpbl-1&px=-1) with the 'img' tag, I get an error upon saving the post stating 'You are not allowed to use that image extension on this board.' Could an exception be made for either the ni.forums or just ditch extension checking (allright, just ditch .bmp files) Ton

Yes you can manipulate an event refnum: using a Cluster Bundle function allows you to wire two event refs into 1. Ton

I have created a LabVIEW wiki page with this knowledge. Ton

This sounds very interesting, but I agree with Yair, try to get in contact with Tomi Maila, who has written several OpenG Class templates, how do these two match up? Or am I totally missing your point? I would love to contribute, but I doubt I will have the time to provide quality code. However keep us posted. A good documentation resource would be the LabVIEW wiki. Ton

Mark have you tried to run this tool with the JKI RCF framework active? I have a feeling that the 'VI Activation event' is not triggered in your app. Ton

I think I know what the issue was with GIT Diff. I stumbled upon the same issues with Mercurial where the remote file was copied into the system temp directory. The LVDiff utility from Sourceforge tries to load both VIs in the same app.space. I edited the diff VI to rename the file in the temp directory. Some more details are on the Mercurial wiki page. Ton

Francois, how did you manage to break the linking to user.lib? Angle, the missing VI's are probably OpenG VIs, these are must haves VI toolkits. Here's an installation video. Ton

I haven't tried it but should it be like: MyObject Obj = new LVReferenceNumber(); Ton

In the latest upgrades the button has vanished, could it be placed next to the 'manage topic poll' Ton

Is there any reason to keep the reference active in between runs? You could use the 'Execution State changed' event for initializing and uninitializing the refs. Ton

Name: Align Distribute Submitter: Ton Plomp Submitted: 28 Apr 2010 Category: *General* Version: 1.1.0 LabVIEW Version: 2009 License Type: BSD (Most common) Distribute objects v1.1.0 Copyright © 2009, Ton Plomp All rights reserved. Author: Ton Plomp LAVA Name: Ton Plomp Contact Info: Contact via PM on lavag.org LabVIEW Versions: LabVIEW 2009 and up Dependencies: No dependencies, demo VI needs the OpenG time library Description: A set of VIs to align or distribute a set of points or objects, they behave similar to the align and distribute functions in the LabVIEW IDE. These tools are usefull when dealing with objects that needs to be rearranged. The set of VIs is bundled in one polymorphic VI (align_distribute.vi) that has the following tree layout -Align -Top -point -rectangle -Left -point -rectangle -Bottom -point -rectangle -Right -point -rectangle -Vertical center -point -rectangle -Horizontal center -point -rectangle -Vertical center -point -rectangle -Distribute -Top -Left -Bottom -Right -Vertical Centers -Vertical Gaps -Vertical Compress -Horizontal Centers -Horizontal Gaps -Horizontal Compress Installation and instructions: Use the VI whereever you want, or install it into your user.lib with VI Package manager Examples: The zip-file includes one DemoVI that moves front panel controls around Known Issues: Acknowledgements: Icons are supplied by National Instruments in the LabVIEW IDE Version History: v1.1.0: Initial public release of the code.

I'm using Mercurial and MantisBT for bugtracking, when I push something to my central repo a call-back script is run by Mercurial which informs Mantis of the commit, this works like a charm. However I would want to go further and implement the HGWeb Source integration. On top of that I have a Mindtouch wiki that lists all the open bugs and feature requests per project. Ton

One of the nice things of a Distributed Version Control System (DVCS) like Git or HG/Mercurial is that you can easily commit your code on a daily basis. When working in a multi-developer team it can be quite scary to commit code, since it will end up with everyone. But by using a DVCS you can commit your code locally, and start developing a new feature and polishing the old code without sending it out while you can still go back to an intermediate version. Paul, please share your insights on the LabVIEW wiki page on Mercurial Ton

Currently the search displays a message if the search term is too short. Ton

The success of a community like ours is based on the quality of the questions. And last week I sprained my ankle and went on a business trip. Ton

I don't like it. Now I have to go to the site to see what happened... I used to easily browse throught the posts, in a visual easy environment, no colors text only I would prefer two RSS feeds. Michael for your convenience I added a poll. Ton

I think that as well. Ton

The RSS-stream (http://lavag.org/index.php?app=core&module=global&section=rss&type=forums&id=1) lost the info about the author of the post. I always find that very useful. Ton

What's the type of your class? Is it a by-ref or by-value class? A by value class could explain this. Do you see the same amount of memory usage if you use a queue? For such intensive taskes (up to 2500 events per second) I would prefer a queue loop. Ton

this is a great tool! I managed to launch 7.0, 7.1, 8.0, 8.6 and 2009 at once. ton

Editing your code in the following way in the 'cluster' should fix your code: My code shows the edits in the array state, which should be in the cluster state. Remember that an array must have the same datatypes for all elements. Ton

Getting way off topic, but COTS sounds like Vomit in Dutch... On topic, User Library Management is doable, however you need good discipline. And anything that helps you lowers the need for discipline. Ton

Perhaps this is overridden in your build setting? Ton

In general LabVIEW paths will be stored relative, even if the target file resides on another drive (Windows only), you can see this in a lvprojectfile with a lot of ..\..\..\..\ On the other hand if the target file is inside instr.lib, user.lib or vi.lib an absolute path will be stored. One thing to try is to create an mnu file the old hard way (edit palettes) and look into the actual created mnu file with an hex editor. Ton

I think it shows the frustration with jcarmody for not getting the feedback he wanted from you (amongst dealing with his own workload). Avinashgogineni, could you describe what currently is missing from the code we generously provided? Also we would find it very valuable if you show some effort in coding LabVIEW. Ton
