  1. I now regret cross posting this. At the time I understood this was all happening after incommunicado from NI/security. I guess you can't trust everyone on the internet.
  2. I wanted to cross post metux's discovery here asap, and have a separate discussion. Metux's original post: The recent Linux driver package introduces a CRITICAL security vulnerability: http://www.ni.com/download/ni-linux-device-drivers-2018/7664/en/ It adds additional yum/zypper repos, but explicitly disabling package signing and using unencrypted HTTP transport. That way, it's pretty trivial to completely takeover the affected systems, by injecting malicious packages. DO NOT INSTALL THIS BROKEN SOFTWARE - IT IS DANGEROUS ! CERT and BSI are already notified.
  3. This VI demonstrates how you can bodge a VI to accept drag and drops of files and folders just like a path control (without losing any mouse click/move event functionality). Path controls have an API for dragging and dropping Files/folders from the OS, or correctly formatted strings from Excel. While an acceptable drag-and-drop operation is underway the path control adds a dotted box to the control (I'm calling this a target box). However this behavior is not available for other objects such as panes or other controls. So Bodging time. DragandDropBodge.vi (attached to the original lavag.org post) has a transparent Path control (set to 'Scale object with pane') that in all the use cases where a drag and drop is possible is set to Visible=True, and in all the use cases where the user would click on an object within the pane is set to Visible=False. I am using a shift register and the Timeout case to Visible=False the Path control, but for a more complex VI or when you have an existing need for the Timeout Case, you can manage this with a user event. Other implementations: This could be used to bodge drag-and-drop for a xy graph or other indicator instead of the pane at large. Or by capturing the cursor position at the moment of 'value update' for the path control a drag and drop could update a specific line in a tree/table/array. Hope this helps when you are searching with the same keywords I was and found no solutions! NSz DragandDropBodge.vi
