QUOTE(crelf @ Jun 15 2007, 01:27 PM) I was wondering how long it would take for you to object. I removed the offending passages so all is well again. Ben

QUOTE(crelf @ Jun 15 2007, 11:54 AM) Bzzzzrrttt.... Come on VIE, stop goobling up all of the good one! Let the rest of us have a crack at some good developers. By the way... If you are near Pittsburgh PA, Data Science Automation is also looking. No we are not a Select Integrator like VIE but we were founded by the first non-NI "NI CPI", have CLA #5 on staff, and are alliance members. Checkout DSAutomation.com we now return you to your normally scheduled program. Ben

QUOTE(Sherif @ Jun 15 2007, 08:35 AM) Expediency is good! Unfortunately, I was not told about "Create Mask.VI" and I wrote my own version before I stumbled across that one. Does anyone (PJM, Captain) have any idea why the mask has to have an even number of bytes for each row of pixels. Ben

QUOTE(crelf @ Jun 14 2007, 02:59 PM) Yes but my customers usually give me a funny look when I tell them I am clairvoyent (sp?). Although it does help when answering question that just do not make sense. Ben

QUOTE(yen @ Jun 14 2007, 01:09 PM) Let me add one more thought to this discussion. A light clicked on when I read a post from Michael were the user was working with a situation were a ring was appropriate for the UI but the code really needed an enum. He said something to the effect "Your UI should not dictate our data types." So applying that thought to this thread, I would disconnect the GUI from the type def. THat way you can make changes to your data as you need and the GUI layout stays the same. I have used this approach myself and it works fine. Ben

QUOTE(crelf @ Jun 14 2007, 09:33 AM) "entangeld particles" is one of those ideas that makes me dizzy. Ben

QUOTE(ragglefrock @ Jun 14 2007, 12:11 AM) I would think that a constant can NOT be a candidate for re-use. If the memory containing the contents of the on the constant was used for subsequnt manipulations "down the wire", it would no long contain the "constant" value and subsequent calls to the VI would find the results of the previous work were the "constant" should have been. I think there was a bug involving clusters and case structures that did exactly that. In fact the modified constants value would actually work its way back in to the source if the VI was saved. THe good news was it was an odd construct that was seldom used. Ben

Have you tried the "Create Mask.vi"? Ben

QUOTE(Jeff B @ Jun 13 2007, 11:29 AM) Thank you Jeff! Ben

QUOTE(orko @ Jun 11 2007, 05:45 PM) I agree the req's for CLA read like a college course description. Too many big words. If voice-mail message were written the same way you would hear "If you know your parties extention, you can dial it at any time followed by the octothorpe key". Ben

QUOTE(crelf @ Jun 13 2007, 08:18 AM) OK, I come here to learn so lets see if I got this correct. 1) Spell LabVIEW correctly. 2) Beer :beer: 3) Tea 4) ??? Ben

Right-click on the FP instance of the control and slect "disconnect from type def". If the data type changes, the VI will break and you will either have to edit the control to match the type def or you can replace the obsolete instance with the new typed def. Ben

QUOTE(PJM_labview @ Jun 12 2007, 12:49 PM) Thanks PJM! Can you guess what I will be playing with this week-end? Ben

QUOTE(brianafischer @ Jun 12 2007, 12:15 PM) If you just change the typed def (by editing and saving the ctl) and you skip the "update from type def" step, what happens? Ben

QUOTE(crelf @ Jun 12 2007, 11:10 AM) Agreed. Convoluted idea follows; 1) Move control off screen 2) insert pic control were control was (transparent background and frame) 3) Do a invoke node get image of control. 4) blend image of control with background of pic and display in pic (this is were you determine your transparency) 5) Event mouse down on pic >>> Move off-screen control to original loc, hide picture. Another Can we set the transparncy of a FP running in a sub-panel? Ben

QUOTE(crelf @ Jun 11 2007, 07:43 AM) I have not thought this through all of the way (coffee no work yet). Does this info about the "required vs" really make any difference? If I am already marking required inputs as required then is it really practical to mark optional inputs or recomended as required? Ben

QUOTE(torekp @ Jun 8 2007, 10:51 AM) The good news is that Darren's VI Analyzer will find all of the VI's that need changed. Ben

Another thing that occured to me is doing a "call by reference" where the VI does not know about its callers. Ben

QUOTE(yen @ Jun 8 2007, 04:43 AM) Yes the "Clear as mud" thread. I still have a coffee stained hard copy of it laying on my desk. Ben

QUOTE(crelf @ Jun 7 2007, 04:30 PM) No. I wonder if they confused that with the "controls on icon connector should be on the root" tidbit. Paraphrasing: Talk is cheap, show me the benchmarks" Ben

QUOTE(yao @ Jan 28 2007, 09:51 PM) To who ever may have this issue in the future; I have reason to believe that an upgrade to 8.2.1 may be worth the time. Can't give details! Ben

QUOTE(alfa @ Jun 7 2007, 12:18 AM) I beileve that if I got in a time machine and went back 6000 years and expalined the big bang theory to the first guy I met. By the time I got back to the present the story would sound a lot like the creation story from Gen 1,1. Re:Evolution Those details were left out. They are just differnt versions of the same event.
