Thanks Paul. It has really been an awesome experience for us.

That's just how our family got started...we adopted a baby boy, then 25 months later gave birth to another baby boy, then 22 months after that we adopted another baby boy and gave birth to a little girl about 6 weeks apart. We ended up with 4 under 4 yrs old for about a month The "twins" are 15 & 16 months old now...Good times!

No Problem...I don't have any experience with a setup like this in RT, but I can't think of any reason why it shouldn't work. -Toby

Congratulations Jim!

Hi James. Welcome to Lava! By passing a reference to the Sequence Context into your VI, you can access your Global variables. The code below simply checks to see if the variable exists, but browse through the other properties to see what else you can do. Hopefully this gets you going in the right direction. To get the sequence context reference control drop an "Automation Refnum" onto your front panel, then pop-up on it and choose Select ActiveX Class --> TS.SequenceContext.

Is that supposed to be "hip replace-mint (replacement)"? That's all I could come up with. EDIT: DOH! The "click to reply directly" link in the RSS feed burned me again...I really need to look at other replies before spouting off. At least this way I got to figure it out on my own

That's great info to have in the wiki. Thanks!

I was able to create a color box 1 pixel high in LV 8.6.1. 1. Right click the colorbox and go to advanced-->customize. 2. Click the wrench icon in the toolbar so you can manipulate individual components. 3. Remove the color box from the frame 4. Resize the frame by clicking the corner and dragging (I set mine to 1x1 pixel) 5. Resize the colorbox by clicking the corner and dragging (I set mine to 1x48 pixels) 6. Move the colorbox over the top of the frame so the frame is hidden. 7. Exit and save the control. If you add it to an array, this is what it looks like (I threw some random colors in there so you can see the effect.

I actually found the security system to be the most difficult of the sample exams. It took me a while to understand exactly what they wanted. As for the real exam, I just found that the program I was given to write required a lot more functionality than any of the sample exams. Creating the UI layout wasn't difficult because you get a picture to work from, but my event structure and state machine on the real exam had many more events and states than were necessary to complete the sample exams.

There are actually 3 examples posted, but none of the sample solutions are very good IMHO. There is the car wash, security system, and traffic light. They are all rather poultry...or did you mean paltry I actually thought the difficulty level of the sample exams was pretty close to the real thing, but the real test had a lot more requirements so it was harder to finish in the allotted time.

Thanks for all the hard work!

I have tried both URLs and they both exhibit the same behavior. I may have to switch to a different reader, but I really like the way Outlook handles RSS. It has much better sorting options than anything else I've tried and I always have outlook open anyway so it is one less app that I have to run.

That's where I got it from. I click the link and then did a "View Source" and saved it as xml.

This is more like the behavior I'm seeing. I'm pulling in many other feeds with Outlook and none of them exhibit this behavior. LAVA 1.0 always worked fine as well. I think this is my XML file...Had to zip it to allow the post. As an example, you can see that this entire thread shows up in here. 1-lava-forums.zip

I'm still seeing this and it seems to be getting worse. Is anyone else still having this issue? I'm deleting the same thread 4 or 5 times a day sometimes. Anytime someone posts to a thread I get the entire thread in my RSS feed. I've tried deleting and re-creating the feed, but that didn't help. This is with new (LAVA 2.0) and old (1.0) threads.

Very Cool! Thanks for the link

Any chance that you would be willing to share this code? I'd love to look at it more in depth.

Thanks for the link

I have 8.5.1, 8.6.1 and 2009 on Vista Business 32-bit with no problems.

I just downloaded this and installed it, but apparently I can't activate it until it is "officially" released during NI week. I assumed that a huge announcement and download link on NI.com constituted an official release...boy was I wrong. I guess I'll have to use it in eval mode for the next few days.

I am actually just looking for kudos with data, not tagging I find kudos with metrics far more useful than tagging on a site the size of LAVA. Tagging only seems to work well if you have a large group actively tagging and following some sort of "best practices" when it comes to choosing the tags to use. Even if a relatively small group is actively giving out kudos, the best posts/posters will quickly rise to the top of the charts. I can see in an instant where the activity is happening and what people like to read.

"smashy smashy" is one of my favorite voice commands for LV Speak. This looks like a good tool for when I don't have my headset handy. This Right Click Framework (RCF) is proving to be a powerful tool! Kudos to JKI!

Well put. That's funny That's better than nothing. A well used voting system is a powerful filter tool. If can see a list of the top voted posts for the last day/week/month there is a pretty good chance that post is worth reading - either because it will make me laugh or teach me something. This would be especially useful after a vacation or something where I haven't followed the site for a couple of weeks. I can understand the desire to maintain some anonymity on the site. Still, I think the more metrics we have the more likely it is that people will use the vote system. I would still like to be able to see, for example, which posts recently received votes. If I show up to LAVA and see that my reputation points have just gone up by 20 it would be nice to know which posts are getting all the hits.

I didn't realize this could become an addiction. I'm cutting myself off. No more trying to artificially inflate my kudo count. Still, I think it's cool to see who kudoed a post. Not even my posts necessarily. If I see a post that strikes me as particularly interesting/funny/useful (or particularly offensive/stupid) I like to see who kudoed it. It gives me a little insight into the people here on LAVA...and since my company seems determined to keep me away from NI Week where I would actually get to meet some of you, those little pieces of insight mean even more.

Excellent plan
