You can do what Dsaunders is talking about by moving the control onto the tab by using the arrow keys on the keyboard instead of dragging it onto the tab with the mouse.

The last one that I received was tuesday jan 2nd 2007. Nothing since.

I would suggest that you download the VI package manager from JKI engineering and this will solve your problem and give you all OpenG packages for each version of LV thatyou have installed. You can search on VIPM.

I am in the pretty much the same boat as the rest of you. Although I have a BAS in EET from ITT. It is where i got my degree from that holds me back from getting the higher paying jobs even though I have the skills and good credentials as soon as they see i did not get my degree from a four year university I'm out without even getting to say a word or put my foot in the door. That is why now I have found a school that will accept most of my credits and will give me a four year college degree.

We found this door when we opened up the scripting properties . Now it is visual for all to see :beer:

You can also look over on the NI site at the excel board. in their there are many examples of how to do this

Congratulations, thanks for posting.

I have received mine. Although my carrying case zipper broke when I first used it. NICE!!!!!

David, Are you sure that you dragged the control fromn the project onto the the front panel. Even when I do this with the tab control I get the same results. Which version of LV are you using. 8 or 8.2 or something in between for now. I have all. Let mw know so that I can try to help you troubleshoot this in the same version that you are using.

Here is a generic about VI that I created a while back. It is not perfect but gets the job done. It uses the same .net technique.you would think that NI would be able to incorporate this into LV. Download File:post-310-1158325682.vi

First off just turning it into a project works great witout any little quirks, which I found investigating this morning. Steps I took: 8.20 open labview and create a new project right click on my computer and select new control customize control as you wish--I did not use a type def I just did a regular control save control right click on my computer again and select new VI Here is where the little quirks come in-- If you open the contol via control pallettes and select control then nothing is kept it is just the same BUG as noted before, But if you drag the control onto the front panel from the project explorer then the control is fine. Save VI Save project. I would say that this is a BIG BUG. :thumbdown: Doing it this way is not much of a work around but it is a way to get what you want. it is just a shame that you cannot save a control the way you want it and have it stay that way. It's funny how we can get Labview to do anything we want except for what we want it to do.

Thanks, and right you are :thumbup:

I just figured out something else, If I do everything you say I can recreate what you see. But in LV 8.20 if you open a blank project and then do everything from inside the project the VI and controls are just fine. And they also are able to be built into an EXE OK. It also does not matter if the control is type def'd or not. Weird.

Yes it can be purchased from amazon.

I also tested with 8.2 and do get a valid refnum. Must be an issue with 8.0

Also used 8.0 and it worked just fine.

I used this with version 7.1 and it locked up as you said, then I used it in 8.20 and it worked just fine. Maybe it is a bug in 7.1.

I have tried both solutions and both of them work, however it is a good idea to explicitly close references yourself.

I could not reproduce this BUG with any of my icon files or yours. it worked just fine every time.

congrats, joe

Right click on the input terminal of the for loops ans disable auto-indexing this will stop the for loop from indexing the array at the input.

I've always used the ones from here

This solution does not fit his needs as he has described. If I understand the question correctly. What you are saying is that you want to use a while loop to process something then wait ten minutes and process again but you want to implement a sort of emergency stop were the user may not be able to wait the ten minutes. if this is the case i would suggest that you use JP's suggestion.
