QUOTE(robijn @ Apr 17 2007, 02:18 PM) I hope NI realizes that customers want bug fixes and not feature updates to maintain their existing software. They want feature updates for new projects. These are two distinct things that should be separate but which coinside in LabVIEW release process. Many software vendors such as our friend Microsoft in Windows product line support old versions of their software for certain amount of time. I'd love to see NI to move to this model as well. It's not an orthogonal model to service programs and continous money flow. Indeed I suspect many of us developers would see more value in a service program that would also support old versions of LabVIEW and not just the latest version.

QUOTE(Aristos Queue @ Apr 16 2007, 08:51 PM) Now you know then Perhaps you can "accidentally" embed a backdoor to allow 3rd party plugins to the project environment in the next major version of LabVIEW Seriously it would be nice if project was open to 3rd party extensions in a similar way as Eclipse is open to extensions.

I've posted a new article this weekend to EXPRESSIONFLOW in an article series Introduction to Object-Oriented Programming in LabVIEW. Reusing Code by Inheritance The previous articles in the article series are: Inheritance and Class Hierarchies in Object-Oriented Programming Code Reuse with Interface Design and Composition Introduction to Objects and Classes Don't hesitate to comment the articles. All discussion is wellcome either here or on Expressionflow. p.s. Please don't comment in the article series thread to keep that thread clean and easily browsable. I posted the same annoucement to NI forums.

QUOTE(Jim Kring @ Apr 16 2007, 06:03 PM) I assume AQ very well knows that the project environment requires digital signature. I wonder why he did give an impression that that it can be passed somehow... Crelf, you can access information on project explorer but in pure G you cannot place it on front panel. Tomi

QUOTE(Aristos Queue @ Apr 16 2007, 08:15 AM) Was it that much It was my pleasure using this new feature. Thank you Aristos for dedicating to brining OOP for us. Tomi

Thanks JFM, I corrected the link. p.s. It seems that the link was wrong due to LAVA forum bug. Editor didn't allow fixing the link. The only way to fix the link was to remove the text and rewrite it.Tomi

It would be easier for most of us to imagine the fifth dimension if we could imagine the tenth dimension.

Jim, would you please modify your post somehow. Everytime I load LAVA front page the video automatically starts playing. The video itself I could ignore but I don't like to hear "Hey it says here Madonna is reinventing herself again..." quite many times a day -tomi

I'm very excited to announce that I've just published my fourth EXPRESSIONFLOW article in the article series Introduction to Object-Oriented Programming in LabVIEW. The article is about code reuse and inheritance. Please click the title below to read the full article. Tomi

QUOTE(Nullllll @ Apr 13 2007, 07:46 PM) Thank you, it's a huge honor! Nice to see non-LabVIEW related questions on this LabVIEW forum. QUOTE(Nullllll @ Apr 13 2007, 07:46 PM) I want to make sensor to measure the speed of the motor that is spinning the thread. Have you ever heard of Google. Google is a major internet search engine that helps you find information on various things from the internet. It has become possible to find information you know nothing about by yourself with only a few clicks. You should try it yourself. You'll fall in love with Google in no time. It was really pleasure to help you. Tomi p.s. Try the search term tachometer.

LabVOOP doesn't have such templates but that can be implemented in LabVOOP. However you would need queue based objects to share data with two processes. Tomi

It's a tab control under containers palette. To make it transparent, paint it with transparent color (T). Tomi

QUOTE(Sally @ Apr 13 2007, 04:56 PM) Slally, it there in the middle. It's just made transparent. Color it with color tool. Tomi

Hah. This time I did your homework my own way See the attachment in LV 8.0 or later.

QUOTE(crelf @ Apr 13 2007, 03:23 PM) nOoooooo! This is really annoying way. I've seen a couple of such LabVIEW UIs and I must admit I really hate them. I'd still vote for the tab control as it's very easy to manage. Simply drag and drop new items there and they get hidden. In addition You can display something else for not so advanced users instead. Tomi

There are many ways to do this. One very simple is to place this hidden information on a sheet of a tab indicator. Also create one empty sheet to the tab indicator. Select visible sheet by wiring a value to the tab indicator. If you care about look & feel you can make your tab control transparent using the paint tool in the tools menu window. Tomi

User events are specified by both by datatype and buffer name. The name changes do not propagate correctly in the attached VI. The user event name is specified by a string constant name. When the string constant name is modified, the name change doesn't propagate to the event structure. The event structure still thinks that the old name is used instead. To change the propagated type one needs to change the data type to something else and then back to string again. When data type is change then also type is propagated. But when the constant name is changed only, then type propagation doesn't reach the event structure. http://forums.lavag.org/index.php?act=attach&type=post&id=5492 http://forums.lavag.org/index.php?act=attach&type=post&id=5490

QUOTE(SciWare @ Apr 12 2007, 03:42 PM) It seems as if NI is double charging for their software. Fist they sell 8.20 with a large number of bugs at least when it comes to LabVOOP. Then they fix a number of these bugs and resell the same value proposition again for the customers who have already bought the same story. Definitely not the right way to go. I hope someone at NI management notices that this is not good PR. Tomi

It seems that LV 8.2.1 is available for download at NI ftp server ftp://ftp.ni.com/evaluation/labview/pc Tomi

If you are just trying to check if the control value is in the range and reset it so that it's in-range then there is another way to achieve this goal. Simply set the out of range action property. Tomi

QUOTE(alfa @ Apr 10 2007, 12:01 PM) Isn't this a little off topic? There are more than five dimensions in every "dialect" of string theory

QUOTE(BrokenArrow @ Apr 10 2007, 03:45 AM) I want to have maintenance releases that have no new features but have a lot of bug fixes to make the present features stable. Version number 8.2.1 indicates exactly this as 8.3 would indicate also inclusion of some new features. Tomi

QUOTE(Ben @ Apr 9 2007, 09:27 PM) Perhaps the trend is declining as LabVIEW is getting more stable and NI AEs don't need to google that many answers

QUOTE(eaolson @ Apr 9 2007, 05:18 PM) Those are normalized results describing the propotionality of numer of searches per amount of people.
