  1. Move project item

    in Development Environment (IDE)

    Nope, the behavior looks the same in LV 8.5 to me.

    But it's better than my 8.5 version, because now the project tree list won't scroll when you get to thew edge with your dragged item.

    It worked perfectly in 821, anybody else got this problem?

    Mine will still scroll, it is just way pickier. I have to grit my teeth just right and hold the item in between the last item displayed and the edge of the tree list (when moving the item down the list). Moving an item up the list requires me to hover over the "Project Items" column header for about 0.8 seconds :rolleyes:

  2. "Sticky" Arrange By

    in LabVIEW Feature Suggestions

    Posted

    I would like it if there was a way to make the "Arrange By" option in the project tree folders "sticky", so that if a new item is created/dropped into the folder after an arrangement has been selected, the view is arranged appropriately instead of falling to the bottom of the list.

    Currently I waste much time right-clicking and selecting "Arrange By", then "Name" on every single folder I have been working in.

    If having an arrange attribute saved for each folder is too much, how about an option in the global settings for a default arrangement?

  4. Move project item

    in Development Environment (IDE)

    Posted

    Michael's post reminded me of another feature that I wish was in the project tree.

    I would like an easier way to move project items around in the project tree. Currently (that I know of) the only way to move items is to drag and drop, which gets cumbersome and error prone when you have multiple folders expanded (you end up clicking the item(s) and dragging over the edge of the scroll list, then hovering while the list scrolls). I've missed on more than one occasion...

    One possibility is to have a "move to..." option in the right click menus of all items under "My Computer", even (especially?) when multiple items are selected. This would bring up a project folder/class list to select where you would like to move it to. Similar to the "move to folder" option in Outlook.

  5. "Locate in Project" feature

    This would be very nice, indeed. :thumbup:

    It shouldn't require too much to implement either, since there is already a "Find Project Items" utility in the Project Explorer "Edit" menu that does almost everything that you want. It just isn't available anwhere in the VI menus. Nice idea about searching for the current VI by right clicking the VI icon.

  7. GOOP Development Suite for LabVIEW 8.5

    Thanks, Jim. That link works for me.

    Questions:

    Which of these files do I download to install the community version of the endevo GDS for 8.2.1 and 8.5? I'm not sure if I should be downloading the GDS_v1.0 files or the GDS_P2D files (the v1.0 files seem to be version P1Y?).

    Also, is the "trial version" the same as the community version? I've installed the GDS_v1.0 version in LV8.5 and it says it expires in 14 days. Does the community edition have an expiration date or is there a license key I must acquire somehow to activate that mode?

    What are the purchase options for the professional edition and where can I view the differences between the two?

    I think many member and some of profession member are not know this topic very mech.

    I have no idea why you would think that... receiving command line arguments from within LabVIEW has been common knowledge in the LabVIEW community for a long time, since the help (and the first link in the "related" section on the web site you provided) is pretty clear on how to do this. It may benefit you to take a little time to get more familiar with the help inside of LabVIEW, it's very good. :book:

    Sorry, but if not many people respond to your post it doesn't necessarily mean that no one knows the answer. They may just not understand the question (or don't have the time at the moment to answer).

  15. Get Path to the Frontmost VI

    in LabVIEW General

    QUOTE(Eugen Graf @ Aug 16 2007, 01:25 PM)

    Hello, can anybody help. I want to get the path to the frontmost VI if mouse was doubleclicked. Probably my solution will work with an EXE, but it don't work while programming.

    Eugen

    Your problem might lie in the application reference. In LV8+ they changed some things over and I've been using the VI at vi.lib\Utility\allVIsInMemory.llb\Get User Application Reference.vi to get the app reference for utilities in different app instances (ie: project tools).

  18. How did your 8.5 upgrade go?

    in LabVIEW General

    Posted

    I'm not using any classes yet (waiting for the next project to delve into that learning curve), but I did have some problems converting my main project over from LV8.2.1 to LV8.5.

    After builting a duplicate source distribution in LV8.2 and opening it up in LV8.5, LabVIEW would crash when opening a central VI I had for storing all of my typedef'ed cluster constants (mass compile would also crash LabVIEW). It turned out after isolating the problem (basically taking out typedefs until I could open the VI without crashing) to be two references to waveform charts I had that were also in another typedef cluster. Replacing them with references built inside LV8.5 fixed the issue. The odd thing is that two other typedef'ed waveform chart references that were also in the same cluster constant didn't have this problem.

    I'm half tempted to say the bug was in the way that LV8.2.1 created the references, but there's no way to be sure.

    Have you asked your NI rep about this yet? The reason I ask is because I'm fairly certain that you can use a concurrent license on as many computers as you want, as long as there are no more than the number of seats you purchased using it at the same time.

    Also, I think there is a way to activate home machines from within the volume license manager. See step 9 of this document.

  20. Are there any problems running LabVIEW 8.5 evaluation with older

    QUOTE(dannyt @ Aug 16 2007, 01:25 AM)

    Just a quick question, I have had a look around here and the NI forums, and have seen nobody post any problems installing LabVIEW 8.5 with older version of LabVIEW so I assume all is OK and there are no issues, unlike the upgrade from LabVIEW 8.2 to LabVIEW 8.2.1.

    I for one have had no issues with LV7.1, LV8.0, LV8.2, and LV8.5 installed on my dev box.

    P.S. Orko, that was magnificent :rolleyes:

    I promise to try and turn the drollness down a notch tomorrow. :P

    Today was one of those looooooong days with not enough caffeine breaks. Now I'm trying to equalize it with sufficient amounts of :beer: :beer:

    Just heard the news about tropical storm Erin that will hit Texas tomorrow. Wanted to give a shout out to our fellow wireworkers down there and let you know we're praying for you and your family. Doesn't look too bad for Austin, but San Antonio, Corpus Cristi and Houston look like they might be pretty windy (~39mph) & wet (~8") tomorrow.

    Welcome, Deirdre! Sorry I couldn't make it out to NIWeek this year, but I'm greasing the skids with the boss to try for next year. ;)

    I just found out about NI Labs last week, it looks promising! I'm checking out the "Generic Container Map", although I haven't played with it enough to be sure what application it would have for me personally. Especially since there isn't a way to use it inside a built executable (yet).
