QUOTE(Tomi Maila @ Nov 30 2007, 07:25 AM) It looks like to me like you're somehow changing the execution state of the VI while it's running. You manage to "break" (broken arrow) the VI without stopping it, and it's after that that the weirdness really begins. You sort of "fix" the problem by clicking the Run arrow again, which I suppose gets the VI back to a more self-consistent state and allows the Stop button to work. I also note that right after you click the Run arrow for the first time, your cursor moves out of the movie frame. Care to make another movie where either your cursor stays in frame the whole time? OR the whole screen is visible?

QUOTE(BrokenArrow @ Nov 29 2007, 02:30 PM) It looks to me like what may have happened with mario64's post is that he kept hitting Add Reply with the same text, and the forum software just appended all the replies together (and removed the linebreaks, which is a known problem). A flaky internet connection could cause that, if he wasn't getting confirmation back that each post went through.

QUOTE(Ascen @ Nov 29 2007, 09:06 AM) LabVIEW is trying to read the data from the input file in a localized format. I.e. it's looking for "XXX,XXXX" instead of "XXX.XXXX". If you add the text %.; to the front of the format string, e.g. %.;%f then I think it will work. The %.; tells LabVIEW to look for the . as a decimal separator. EDIT: Fixed an error. I had the wrong localization specifier before.

QUOTE(george seifert @ Nov 29 2007, 08:32 AM) I had something similar happen recently, but I can't find my notes on it anymore. In my case, it happened with property nodes in several cases of the same event structure all at once. I had to recreate them all from scratch (neither restarting LabVIEW & reloading the code, nor a mass compile worked). Never figured out what triggered it, and it hasn't happened since. It was infuriating.

QUOTE(MrYoung @ Nov 27 2007, 08:29 PM) Maybe I'm misunderstanding, but it works for me. I regularly build EXEs with dynamic VIs included, and have never had any issue. It works exactly like it sounds like you think it should . In the Source File Settings tab, when I select a dynamic VI, I see the following choices: same as caller My Application.exe Support Directory Destination Directory Selecting My Application.exe as the destination causes the dynamic VI to be built into the final EXE file, and it does not appear separately in the Preview (just like in 8.2). Are you saying you don't even see My Application.exe as a choice? If I select a manually included non-VI file (like a config file or something), I still see My Application.exe in the Destination pull-down, but it's greyed out (again, just like 8.2).

QUOTE(Mike C @ Nov 26 2007, 10:30 AM) If you're using a command-line FTP client, it might output its status to stdout. If you can get the client to send that output (or any other status) continuously to a file, you might be able to poll that file from your application and parse out the most current information. That's all kinds of ugly, though, and pretty unlikely to work . Another option, if you know the size of the file you're downloading in advance and the local filename you're downloading to, would be to just poll the size of the local file as it's downloaded, and divide that by the total number of bytes you're expecting. This, too, depends a bit on your FTP client; if your client preallocates the file on disk it won't work. That's only half as ugly as my first suggestion.

QUOTE(Michael_Aivaliotis @ Nov 25 2007, 04:53 AM) Truly, that is one of life's greatest mysteries. If you solve it, do let me know. :ninja: In other news, turning the autotool off and then back on solved the problem for me, so the draggy-hand-pan-tool shortcut works now.

QUOTE(Yen @ Nov 24 2007, 09:54 AM) Hmmm.... OK, it works for me in 7.1.1 and 8.2, but not in 8.5 . I can't find anything in the Options dialog that looks like it would be related, nor do I know of any suspicious INI keys. Can someone else try it in 8.5 on their machine to confirm whether it's just me, or whether the shortcut is just missing in 8.5?

QUOTE(JDave @ Nov 22 2007, 11:32 PM) WTF? That totally isn't happening on my machine, and I definitely have the auto-tool on. Ctrl+Shift+Drag just expands the diagram (or front panel) like I'm not holding shift at all. Weird. QUOTE(Yen @ Nov 23 2007, 05:35 AM) And creating a comment is as easy as double clicking an empty part of the diagram and typing. I wish, however, that it would create a System Label instead of the regular label it creates.

QUOTE(sara @ Nov 23 2007, 06:34 AM) Again, what have you tried so far? We can't solve your problem for you, but if you show us what you've done we can help you understand what's right or wrong with it. If you haven't done anything yet, start by looking at the examples provided in the LabVIEW Help (Help >> Find Examples...). You can search for examples that will show you how to control the DIO lines on your hardware. You can also find basic information on how to write programs in LabVIEW by going to Help >> Search the LabVIEW Help.... There's an entire section in the help called Introduction to LabVIEW.

QUOTE(bono02 @ Nov 22 2007, 08:08 PM) I do almost all my scrolling by using the draggy-hand-tool (does it have a real name?). I mean the thing you get by doing shift-right-click, then selecting the draggy-hand (as distinct from the pointy-hand). Then you can click+drag to scroll the diagram (or front panel) around. It saves trips back & forth to the scroll bars, and is a pretty easy dance to perform once you get used to it. I do wish there was a slightly easier way to activate it (like ctrl+shift+drag or something).
