hmm, this is an old feature. You just have to add "funkyerrorcluster=true" to your labview.ini. (tested with LV 7.0 and 7.1) I don't know if that was a mistake, or it was intended, that this now the default setting, whatever, I like it cheers, CB

on the one hand, this a good idea, on the other hand, it is not, because, you add some extra difficulties to your development: during development, it's easier to open an *.ini file with the notepad and edit some entries, than open regedit and edit data stored in the registry. if your software is in production, it is easier to request someone, "plz send me the *ini-file, I need to see your settings" than to request an export from the registry. maybe a combination of *.ini file and registry would be a good solution: when closing the programm, make a MD5 hash and store that hash in the registry. Then you can detect any changes and display a "corrupt file" message !? cheers, CB

yes - I thought, I had allready posted this - it seems, I forgot. All in all I'd like to say, that LV 8.20 has brought a noticable improvement in usability. Ok, I am still missing some features, e.g. the Project Explorerer to file hierarchy sync (Michael posted this allready in the wish list) but I like LV 8.20 cheers, CB

I use a Samsung P35 (about 2 Years old) with 1,25 GB RAM and a 1600 MHz Processor (Intel Centrino). That works quite good ... cheers, CB

yes, but shouldn't that feature allready exist in the BASE Package, due it's importance? What do others think about that?

your're right. I first thought you could find coercion dots, if you enable "Show warnings in error list dialog by default", but the are not mentioned. Maybe that would be an other feature to request? "Find Coercion dots"?

thanks a lot! => product suggestion filed

Hi folks, I encountered the following unexpected behaviour, when using Shared Variables with LV 8.20: I created a new Shared Variable (Single Process Type) with a custom control, which is typedef'ed. I thought, that, if I change the typedef, the type of the Shared Variable would change automatically, too. Instead, it sticks to the old type, which results in many broken wires. Is this a bug? Am I making a mistake? What's wrong? I'd like to file a product suggestion at ni.com, with the request, that Shared Variables, which are created with a typedef'ed custom type, auto-update from that typedef. But before I bother them, I'd like to be sure, that there's a "bug" ... cheers, CB

I thought as much ... thank you anyway! cheers, CB

CCC means Coding Challenge Committee. We made the first review, then mark posted the "internal winners" for the public vote, where all members of LAVA were invited to choose their number one ... I think you've got the point. I took some time to do a propper evaluation, and not everyone is so much involved in the CC, that he/she wants to spend that time ... cheers, CB

me, too! yea, I'm a little bit disapointed, too, that we could not motivate more members (except the CCC) to review the finalists and place a vote, but I don't have a really good idea, how to get this done? Everyone is *somehow* a little bit lazy - except me, I am lazy like a bone - and I can in a way understand, that someone, who was not part of the challenge does not feel like looking through all submissions and reviewing it. Maybe, next time, we should pass on the public vote, and vote in the CCC instead?

hpmf ... I knew it was a realy stupid mistake thx

Hi Folks, I can't get rid of the error messages, generated by the automatic error handling. I have a "Clear Errors" VI, which has an "error in" Input, an "error out" Output and a "no error out" where - you guess right - no error comes out. I use this VI to clear the error wire, but "see" the error anyhow. If I don't connect the error out Output, I get one of these automaic error dialoges, which I don't want to have, because I'd like to "silently suppress errors" with this VI. I thought I could turn of automatic error handling for the VI with the VI properties. But even with disabled "Enable automatic error handling" I get the error dialog. What can I do to get rid of the error dialoges? thank you in advance and cheers :beer: CB Download File:post-885-1161016140.zip

LV 8 ? ok, I don't have LV 8, so I had to "downgrade" it ... I hope that works cheers, CB Download File:post-885-1161013990.zip

puhh 1200 baud, yea, THAT was SLOW and EXPENSIVE ... luckily I started with a 14.400 baud modem - on compuserve - that was a little bit faster and EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE (we had no free local calls in Germany)

I know, what a flamewar is - I'm on the internet since 1995 (a so called early adaptor - and I've seen many And, I recognized, that it was a typo, I just tried to make a funny comment. It seems, that this did not work that good ;( ... maybe I have to recalibrate my sense of *humor*? ...

I, as a non-native-speaker understand that as following: flame --> what you can see, if something is burning flameware --> a software, which is used to control or produce flames [ from flame and software, cause you americans really like abbrevations ] flameware taken offline means, he/she/it/whoever has ha software to control its oven, but it lost it's network connection, which will result in temperatures below zero in the living room ... correct ? cheers, CB

that's why I allways use objects in PHP who needs globals, if he can access "his" variables in a proper designed "root object"? cheers, CB

Ok, I think, I've got the solution ... I think, what you need, is a WHERE-Clause -> take a look at the example below. Download File:post-885-1160979198.zip cheers, CB

I did not want to blame you, and I apologize, if you understood my last post in that way. But fact is: it's almost impossible to support a database development through a forum - I can help with direct questions like "This SQL query gives me an error ..." but I can not help with database design and query design, because, I am not into your data, your code, etc

Hi Folks, I want to use the digital IOs of a NI-PXI-6030E: one line as Input, one line as Output, Single Update, Software-Timing 250 ms I just wonder, if it is possible to use digital IN AND OUT in one single DAQmx Task? I never did that before with DAQmx and currently it seems, that it will NOT work (Error -200559: DAQmx Create Channel (DI-Digital Input).vi:Task cannot contain a channel with the specified channel type, because the task already contains channels with a different channel type.) That worked with traditional DAQ, where you could set a "Line mask" on a port where you could set the direction. But I can not find anything similar in DAQmx. Has anyone a clue for me? -> the workaround would simple be to use 2 tasks ... thus there is no "real" problem ... Thanks, CB

hmm, sorry, I have no idea what you mean, but generally I'd say: maybe you have to spend a few bucks and buy a SQL Book? Database Toolkits are allmost useless without some Knowledge of SQL. cheers, CB

then youe've not got the latest update ... please go to my homepage and download the latest version of the ado toolkit. the VIs you are missing are new in V 1.5.2, so , if you have an older version - of course you don't have them cheers, cb

whow maybe you want to obfuscate your data with a simple XOR encryption? this will prevent allmost all users from playing arount with the file, ony the nerds, will take a deeper look cheers, CB Download File:post-885-1160778175.vi
