Using the Code Capture Tool VI Copy Image to Clipboard (location: User.lib\_Code Capture Tool\CCT Class\Software\Methods\CopyToClipboard\CCT_Copy Data to Clipboard__CCT.vi) I created this little tool that allows you to copy any control to the clipboard, to get the same result as 'Export Image' use a bit-depth of 2.

There is a 'VI Activation' event that you could use, however it has been a while since I used it. Ton

Great to hear such things Michael! One Q, do you know how to retrieve the blog-posts? or are they in google cache only? Ton

I downloaded the VIP, and VIPM tells me it is 8.6 and up... Is that correct? EDIT: I found an 8.2 version, could the CR version be updated? And while i am at it, some ideas: Show/hide label (and edit) of the case structure Auto-hide and show the dialog when the owning VI is not the top-level BD anymore. Ton

Really? that's how it normally goes in our office, if I let enough peoply know I have an issue, the issue will become important. Besides that I miss(ed) a 'Yes, we are aware' post (like your last one actually is. Ton

I have serious doubts about the willingness of NI to fix bugs, that are not totally critical. Unfortunatly bugs like these (semi-minor cosmetic) are easily dropped from any known issues list. Very strange that such things happen. Ton

And once again it happenend, the 5th dimension flooded the RSS thread with 200 posts (I think the maximum length of the RSS feed, only showing the first 200. Then afterwards I got a new semi-fresh RSS thread with the latest 200 posts, including posts I have allready marked as read. Here's the source URL: http://lavag.org/index.php?app=core&module=global&section=rss&type=forums&id=1 Using Newsfox in Firefox Ton

In my setting I get the feedback that the RTE editor is no available for me though I use Firefox 3.5.2. Any body else seeing this? Ton

I have never tried to put an XControl in the templates folder, just go ahead and try, however the default XControl is located under \resource\Framework\Providers\xi\xctl.llb That is only so if a VI is in memory that has a reference to that XControl, I think you have some deadlock between a class and an XControl. Classes are always loaded into memory, if this has a reference to the xcontrol somehow (in the probe for instance), the XControl is locked. If the XControl has a reference to the class the class is locked. Unfortunatly we cannot place an XControl inside the control class of LabVIEW to achieve such behaviour. Ton

Here is the 'Enqueue Array of Elements': Ton Enqueue Array of Elements.zip

Anybody else seen Tin Man. Ton

What you still use the 'standard' system? Ton

I think User events are an already existing alternative, just split the user event wire, each listener should register itself with a seperate User Event Reference, and every event sent after the registration is deliverd to the event window: Ton

CTRL-E on the project window is very helpfull in determing wheter a certain code base is in one directory. However you could get all the VIs in a project and check if they are in the same folder as the project. Ton

The activeX server as shown by a LabVIEW app, is just an activeX accessible VI server layer. So what you can do is build a specific VI into your app that will trigger an event or (named) queue when run, place a path control on it's FP. Now via the ActiveX interface get to this VI, fill in the path control and run the VI, this should do. Ton

Still not possible (Premium member). However this post, needs to be reported because hidden text is used to generate links to websites. Ton

Sorry, I can't locate the code anymore, but here is a VI in 8.6 with two OS.OpenDocument Events (filter and normal). I did not get this to work with anything other than 8.2 Ton 8.6privateevents.vi

I filed an idea exchange. Please vote Ton

Have a look at this LabVIEW wiki topic. There is even a specific event, that only works in LabVIEW 8.2. To get a good working solution, JKI has implemented a small loader executable that is registered with the extension. This (fas-loading) application sends the actual file path to VIPM via TCP/IP or something else. Ton

Allright this post should result in a HowTo for embedding flash, because currently I cannot do so.... I open up a post, hit the 'Toggle HTML' source, paste the content from Screencast: <object width="678" height="526"> <param name="movie" value="[url="http://content.screencast.com/users/TonPlomp/folders/Jing/media/188896f1-f9e9-4e59-acbe-87e6e062e007/jingswfplayer.swf"]http://content.screencast.com/users/TonPlomp/folders/Jing/media/188896f1-f9e9-4e59-acbe-87e6e062e007/jingswfplayer.swf"></param[/url]> <param name="quality" value="high"></param> <param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF"></param> <param name="flashVars" value="thumb=http://content.screencast.com/users/TonPlomp/folders/Jing/media/188896f1-f9e9-4e59-acbe-87e6e062e007/FirstFrame.jpg&containerwidth=678&containerheight=526&loaderstyle=jing&content=http://content.screencast.com/users/TonPlomp/folders/Jing/media/188896f1-f9e9-4e59-acbe-87e6e062e007/Variant_Tree.swf"></param> <param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param> <param name="scale" value="showall"></param> <param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"></param> <param name="base" value="[url="http://content.screencast.com/users/TonPlomp/folders/Jing/media/188896f1-f9e9-4e59-acbe-87e6e062e007/"]http://content.screencast.com/users/TonPlomp/folders/Jing/media/188896f1-f9e9-4e59-acbe-87e6e062e007/"></param[/url]> <embed src="[url="http://content.screencast.com/users/TonPlomp/folders/Jing/media/188896f1-f9e9-4e59-acbe-87e6e062e007/jingswfplayer.swf"]http://content.screencast.com/users/TonPlomp/folders/Jing/media/188896f1-f9e9-4e59-acbe-87e6e062e007/jingswfplayer.swf[/url]" quality="high" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" width="678" height="526" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowScriptAccess="always" flashVars="thumb=http://content.screencast.com/users/TonPlomp/folders/Jing/media/188896f1-f9e9-4e59-acbe-87e6e062e007/FirstFrame.jpg&containerwidth=678&containerheight=526&loaderstyle=jing&content=http://content.screencast.com/users/TonPlomp/folders/Jing/media/188896f1-f9e9-4e59-acbe-87e6e062e007/Variant_Tree.swf" allowFullScreen="true" base="[url="http://content.screencast.com/users/TonPlomp/folders/Jing/media/188896f1-f9e9-4e59-acbe-87e6e062e007/"]http://content.screencast.com/users/TonPlomp/folders/Jing/media/188896f1-f9e9-4e59-acbe-87e6e062e007/[/url]" scale="showall"></embed> </object> And when I select update I get a box with a small 'X' in the top left corner.

Here is the actual LLB file as referenced: InputMaskXControl.llb Ton

This is a very good feature (the string output), unfortunatly it doesn't play well with old versions of LabVIEW. At least in 8.5 a probe witht the new layout (string added) will not load in LabVIEW 8.5 as a custom probe. Ditto. Ton

Hi Ahmad, Start with the shipped LabVIEW examples, just open the example pages and search for a few words: 'Excel', 'Table'. For getting the data if it used NI-DAQ or NI-DAQmx look in the examples as well and start easy, perhaps use the Express VI provided by NI. If you have a non-NI DAQ board try to get some example programs. Good luck, Ton PS your question title is a little to vague, be more precise 'Help me getting data in a table' or 'Help me get data from a transducer type XYZ' PPS your question title is written in slang, normally I just ignore those since it looks like you are lazy

The new 'instances' feature of 8.x is a problem for the current released edition... You can edit the dialog box. Just hit ctrl-. in the main window and look for the correct VI, maybe you can fix this. You could use a pre-build script VI in the OGPB to get the actual build verion. Ton
