Hi, I have a large string and I would like to update the colour of each word as it is typed. Using the Property nodes on the string to select a word, then update its colour, then return to cursor to it's previous position would be great if this could happen instantly, but property nodes can not be used when a sub VI is called as 'subroutine' priority. The end result is you can see the word flash breifly as it is highlighted and can cause the UI to jolt. This is undesirable. Does anyone know how I might better achieve this? Many thanks, Alec

It's not a cluster, it's just a 'System String'. Nothing special about it. Do NI Staff check this forum?

I have tried disabling the virus checker and the problem still remains. This problem is not present on LabVIEW 2013, only 2014 SP1

Hi, I have created an XControl. When I place this XControl down the Label is not correctly aligned with the object. Does anyone know how I might address this? Please see the attached picture for details. Many thanks, Alec

Nope, Mcafee

When Launching LabVIEW (14.0.1) on Windows, I get the splash screen and "Converting Toolkits..." for almost 5 minutes every time I start LabVIEW. Im sure this was not always the case (and I would have imagined that a toolkit conversion would only have to happen once, not every time I launch the development environment). Does anyone know why this is happening and/or how to improve this issue? Many Thanks, Alec

Hi, I have got this vi to work now for a single instance, but I can not get it working for multiple instances (see attached) When I use the constant "This VI" inside a clone instance, does it not return a unique reference depending on the clone instance? As you can see from this example I do not think that it does, and the VI Server Subclass GObject.Node.SubVI does not seem to contain any kind of 'clone' information. Any Ideas? Many thanks, Alec Refnum Obtainer.zip

Hi, Please could you help me upload some code, I am trying to show you what I mean, I need to programatically determine which is the control I want. I am attempting to: Wire a numeric into a sub VI, and for that sub VI to return the reference of the wired VI (including its label) The Sub VI is looking at the call chain and indexing value 1 out and opening a reference. I am then looking at all of the controls on the calling VI For each control I am looking at the wire coming out of it and seeing if any one of them is going into an input labeled the same as the input on the sub VI. Then I am trying to take that reference to the sub VI on the other end of the control's wire and cast it down to a VI type (this goes wrong) Then I wish to take the "Clone Instance" name, and match it to the currently runnning clone instance in memory to see if we have a winner As I mentioned, I am struggling with casing down to VI type, any idea why? (or how to attach a .zip file to this message)? Many thanks, Alec

wow, Awesome! Thanks, I'd been all day grappling with this one. Can you get it to return the control reference so that I can access the label name of the control feeding in to it, I can't seem to get it to display any word other than 'value'. Many thanks for your help thus far!! (I know its a long shot but it is safe to say there is no way of achieving this without VI Scripting and therefor can not be used with the Runtime enviroment?)

Hi, I would like an object that will return a control's reference when a control is wired into it. If one does not exist I thought there may be a way with VI Scripting to achieve this. The called VI ("Return_Reference") could look at the call chain and return all the controls from the calling VI. Would then there be a way to detect which control is wired to the particular clone instance of the called VI? Many thanks, Alec
