Thanks for your comments. I have test the hidden solution and the open project FP at the end, but i found a strange things . When i do that, the front panel don't open, but if i don't save the new project , i lost the labview start windows. Labview appear only in taskbar.

So i decide to remove the hidden FP action and place it in unactive structure. With this, all become ok.

I don't have front panel open and don't lost labview start windows if i don't save the new project.

I send you the new version of this tool for validation.

Finaly , i have just a bit modify your vi to creat a list of folders in a new project. I have creat Obj package , who install this tool in wisard folder.

I have just i small problem, i have try to "close front panel" of this tool at start. And in this case, the project is creat , but not the folders. When i let the front panel open and close it at the end, all run ok.

I send you my package , tell me if it's ok ,and perhapse why i can't close FP at start.

Hi Eric

What do you have in mind?

You can manipulate the project through the Project Class (VI server) using property nodes.

Here is a snippet to add a folder to a project.

I have attached an example (I did on a course a while back).

Might get you started!

Create Project.zip

[LabVIEW 2009]

Hi JG

It's exactly what i want . I just want automaticaly have new project with my standardized folder structure.Is your exempl is free (or bsd licence) because perhapse i want use it in RCF plug in.

Thanks again

Eric

Hi

I want to know if there is a way to personalize new project template (empty project).

Eric

Thanks Ton have test it and your exempl is ok. It's incredible the complexity to obtein the pane from control.Just a control property for Pane will be enought, or change

the owner by the pane and not the Panel reference.

The question is now to know if there is same things for terminal on diagram (terminal position on screen).

Hi

is there a way to know the control position in reference to zero of the sreen (left top conner) and not front panel? I have try to calculate it from property without succes .

I'm a beet lost with all coordinate propertys (limite, masterbound,....) A small explaination (or a small drawing)of those differents propertys will be appreciate.

Can you show how you do that please?

I send you my RCF _Plugin , tell me what you think about. I want prupose it to code repository

EricColorize Diagram.zip It save in LV2009

Hi

Is there a way to program the color of structure border by scripting ?

>I have found how for the color of diagram inside structure but not for border.

Any suggestions.

Eric

Hi Ed

Thanks for your plug-in. But i have found a small thing to upgrade. I have modify the Menu Activation code to hide your menu when you run RCF without any selection.It's just to be logical.

Regards

_distek_integration_inc_lib_rcf_align_terminal_labels.llb

Great! I'm glad it worked...

If I get motivated this weekend I might try to make a RCF plugin based on this so you could right click an enum on the block diagram and update it from the *.rtm file directly.

Great Idea. But if I can suggest one remark, maybe will It be better to include the possibilty to create Case in case structure from Rtm data than enum. And to be more precise,

It would be better if this idea would be included in the excellent RCF Caseselect Plug-in. But it's just suggestions.

Thanks again for your help and good luck for RCF.

Eric

Hmm... The separator line throws off the parser in 8.6 as well. I don't remember ever using a separator line.

Oops... After messing around the "APP_SEPARATOR" tag was being cut off to "APP_SEPARA". It looks like the Read From Text File primative had the 'Convert EOL' option enabled which changed the string length from 0Dh (13) to 0Ah (10).

Try it again.

Thanks that' s ok Now. Just a last things, I have removed your test about Level because in my case this test forget first line menu tag.

Regards

Eric

Thank

But that's not work in LV2009. The parser lock on get id state.

I investigate more and see that the problem is arround "special application code". When i put a "separator line" in my menu that's bug, but when i remove them

it's OK.

Hi

I try to upgrade my old subscription "RTM to Emum" to LV2009 and have problem with Rtm data structure. There is a small modification of this structure between 7.0 and 2009 LV version but i don't know which.

Any suggestion. I send you the 7.0 data structure for exempl.

RTM data.ctl

There is no silver bullet answer for your question. It really will depend on what application you will be opening the document in as to what you will need to include in the actual text of the document.

In fact i want open it with Excel

Your request is a little confusing. Do you want to create a new document (workbook) or a different sheet in a workbook? You can do all of that with ActiveX. And that is a lot easier if you have the Report Generation Toolkit. I've done it in raw ActiveX, but it's work. It's easier just saving different documents as text files. For each new "page" just create a new file name.

The computer where i want to put my application don't have Excel and i can't use ActiveX . I just want generate a text file with few breaks page ( in mysterious code) who can be interpret by excel like break page.

Regards

Hi

I want creat a data text file and insert a break page between each data blocks. Like that when i open it (convert ) in excel, my data will be on different page. I have try "\f" , but without succes.

Any suggestions.

Eric

Hi

Have you test to put your tab update outside the event structure like this:

With this technic, i find that you can add few dynamic event sources and see them like only one source in the event editor. Contrariwise, you need unregistered each sources at the end.

Note that : Typecast is used to rename dynamic event sourse (with the event refnum name).

Eric

Hi

When i look the NI iconvi editor (lv_icon.vi) code, i see a strange thing. The dynamique event registration is connect bundle to cluster and in pink color. Who can tell me why ? and the avantage of this technic.

Eric

Hi

The ref input may have few using.

1) Connect to the common (gnd in general) you obtein the signal + the offset

2) Connect to a resistor , can compensed the DC CMR error.

3) Connect to a voltage source (few mv) you can compensed the output offset.

4) Connect to the out put of LP Filter you can creat LP instrument amplifier without add input capacitor on AD620 input.

5) Can be used to creat precise current source.

Analog Device give you few exempls in their instrument amplifier datasheets.

The timeout event is intrinsically not having priority. Every time one other event occur, the time out value is reload with the maximum value (for exempl 1000 in your case)and not fire.

It's for this reason it's call TimeOut and not Timer (I think). It's easy simple to lock it definitively when one event occur by loading -1 inplace of 1000. Look my exempl to see how.

Hi François

Your RCF Plugin do not run with labview2009. There is few missing Vi's . The reason is that NI have modify config.llb between 8.61 and 2009, and remove few vi's in it . I send you a picture with differences . the better thing to do is to incorporate missing vi's inyour plugin.

I develop this tool for limit few click and for fun.

Installation:

Copy Move Label.Vi and _Move Labelfolder in your labviewxx\project folder and restart labview.

Test:

Run Ok in 7.0

Know issue:

run only in Windows.

Improvement:

Actualy the diagram constante are not concern with label mouvement but i can upgrade if someone wanted.

Like i have only Labview 7.0 ,they is certainly new object that can be concern but can't be implanted now.

But if you look code, i think it's not very difficult.

If you paste it in front panel it's control, and if in diagram it's constant.

If you select "Not array If lonely" a single control is convert in variant

(array with one value inother case).

This tools run with Vis and Globals

If you Hold Alt Key down during running , the selected controls are convert

in Variant array (or cluster array) directely in source Vi.

This option run with Vi only.

How use this tool:

First :select control (s) in a Vi

Second : Select kind of variant control you want creat.
