Sparkette Posted January 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2013 (edited) Good news, everyone! Despite what AQ said about implementing a "revocation" for Generic VI's, they apparently still work in LabVIEW 2012, just as they did before. I doubt all the problems with them have been fixed though, so use the same caution you always have. (Too bad they had to break something else...)

Sparkette Posted January 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2013 Also, I think I figured out how Aristos made the controls generic. All that's needed in order to select Genericity is to add SuperSecretPrivateSpecialStuff=true to your LabVIEW.ini file. Quote Link to comment

Just be aware that doing something like that is truly playing with fire. flarn2006, I'd appreciate it you add a warning to your post to that effect, just like you did for the first one in this thread.

Sparkette Posted September 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2014 (edited) Okay, bumping an old thread here. For anyone who's still interested, I've discovered with almost complete certainty what Darren meant by "a certain way we can configure the UI to make controls generic." Simply add the following line to LabVIEW.ini: GenericsAreGo=TrueNow every control will have a "Generic" context menu item that does what you'd expect. I'll post this on the LabVIEW wiki as well.

hooovahh Posted September 2, 2014 Report Share Posted September 2, 2014 GenericsAreGo=True Which is quite ironic since generics are most certainly not "Go" and NI has said multiple times that the development of Generics are a dead end for them. I can't remember who I heard this from but I thought I remember even hearing that NI plans on removing Generics from some future version of LabVIEW because they don't think it is a stable technology. 1 Quote Link to comment
