And a whole lotta free time.

Happy: Got my LAVA T-shirt and it looks great! Sad: Won't be at NI Week to wear it. Maybe next year. Of course I've been saying that for 10+ years now...

One of my cow-orkers handed me that cartoon. No respect... Keep in mind your users, not necessary just what *you* think looks good. I had a project where I was asked to apply color accessibility standards when designing the GUI. Turns out a relatively large percentage of the users were color-blind. "Best" for them was quite different from other users.

Here are a whole lot of ideas: http://lavag.org/top...__1entry59449

Wow. That's really powerful. I've got a few other applications it might be good for. Thanks for the link! That's great! I put in the vertical scrollbar so that my 272 line list didn't disappear off the bottom of the FP, and then had to change the Mouse Up case to Double-Click (since clicking on the scrollbar registered as an event). Other than that, it's perfect. Thanks!

I am looking for a control that is, in essence, a multicolumn enum. So all that would be showing would be 1 row of the control, but when clicked on it would "drop down" a whole table to select a row from. I did this a long time ago with an enum and used " | " to delineate columns, but the formatting on that looked extremely clunky. I was hoping the latest and greatest (released) LabVIEW might have something better. Is it there by any chance and I'm missing it? If not, any thoughts on how else to create such a thing? Cat

Yeah, yeah, that's right, Mr. Aivaliotis, sir. Don't send Guido. Let's talk. I'm sure we can come to some sort of agreement. I'll do anything! I'll even shell out for a Premium Membership! Just don't send Guido! (LOL! Thanks for brightening up my Monday!)

Ah-ha! "Show me all new content since my last visit" seems to do the trick. Thanks!

Wow, NI lets you use a browser with tabs?!? Unfortunately Big Brother has us stuck back in the pre-tabs IE6 era. And no, I'm not allowed to upgrade, or put another browser on my computer. I suppose I could open up a bunch of windows for all the posts. I generally try to keep window count low, tho -- I'm just anal-retentive that way. But, I was really responding to Mike's question about how the functionality of "View Unread Content" had changed between LAVA 1.0 and 2.0. If it can't be "fixed" (or if the majority of the community doesn't want it to be) I'm sure I'll learn to work with it.

Would Guido come out and break my... code?

Every morning while I'm waiting for my daily dose of liquid caffeine to kick in, I read LAVA. I always go to the "View Unread Content" first. The way this used to work was that I would skim thru all the posts to see if there was anyone I could help (no, really, it does happen on occasion) and then go back and look more closely at the ones that interested me for whatever reason. I can't do this anymore, since those posts disappear from the "View Unread Content" page as soon as I read them. And the odds are pretty darn good I didn't bother to look at what forum the post came from, so I then have to go search for it. This is made even more dificult if there are multiple posts I want to go back to. In LAVA 1.0 the posts would have just been marked as read making them very easy to find.

I'm spending more time than usual on LAVA this morning, because I'm extremely distracted waiting to hear how many zillions of dollars it's going to take to resurrect my car. I just noticed I've made 6 posts in the past 24 hours elevating me to the "Quantity is Better Than Quality Hall of Fame" (ie, Todays' Top Posters). I reviewed those posts. Two were followups to followups to a question I had asked. Two were pure fluff. One had some minor informational content. I don't call that a very good signal to noise ratio. Is there some way to add some sort of self-rating box to each post? So I could tell the post number bean counter not to count a particular post? I would suggest just not counting posts to the LAVA Lounge, but I know posting there all the time is how crelf has gotten his count up, and since he's one of the admins, that will never happen... Cat

The best part is there's even a sequel!

Won't be there or do that, but at least I bought the t-shirt. Does LAVA get any of the proceeds?

For me? Thanks! It doesn't seem to be working, but that's probably because of Big Brother's firewalls and limited access. I'll try it from home tonight. I was going to try it last night, but my car died on the way home from work yesterday (for the second time this week ) and I was a little distracted dealing with that last night.

LOL! All right, guyze, stop it already! This was a serious question!! Ahem... The problem with using "-aristos" is that AQ has posted some great info about queues, and I don't want to filter that out.

Since I've only moaned about it in another post and haven't really requested it... It would be nice if the advanced search only included the name of the author of a post if that part was selected/filled in. That way I could (hopefully) search on "queue" and not get all of AQs posts in the results.

I probably would if access wasn't denied to youtube by Big Brother. Many of your posts come out looking like nothing more than a big expanse of white space. I'll leave the obvious follow-up snide remarks to other members of the forum. Cat

Dang. I need to change my LV start date. I got dragged kicking and screaming into LabVIEW right after 2.5.2 was released -- and never looked back! Thanks!

Anyone out there know when LV 2.5.2 came out? I need the info for the "It's all about me" page here on LAVA. I've done some searching and turned up a sorta date for 2.5, but nothing for 2.5.2. Cat

My platform is a laptop with one eSATA port -- so only 1 drive. For rev2 I might be able to look at getting an ExpressCard SATA card with a couple ports and trying a RAID setup. Or even just 2 disks -- 1 to archive the raw data, and the other for the partially processed data. For the moment, I'm probably going to save the raw data to the eSATA drive, off-load it during down time to a USB drive, and do all of the post-processing there. Thanks for your input.

I believe Bjarne wants to connect a USB device to a computer that is so old it only has a serial port and no USB ports. I'm not sure there is such a converter available (there are multiple converters for going the other way). BTDT. Long before LAVA was born.

Hmm... lots of USB port -to- DB9 device converters out there, not so many DB9 port - to - USB device converters. Do you have room in your PC for a USB card (PCI)? You can get one of those for under $20.

My momma always told me it wasn't good to have a reputation...
