Multi Panel Interface

[hooovahh]

Both the link in the first post, and the link in your post download it just fine.  Are you sure you don't have some firewall, or IT policies preventing the download?

So this is awesome! I know Jeremy presented some stuff just like this in his NIWeeek 2018 presentation (posted on the LV Wiki). Do you know if something like this was ever exported into a package? I'm having a hard time finding it if it exists.... ironically.

I've never seen Jeremy's presentation, some neat stuff in there for sure.  Since my demo (and another one here involving Notepad, Video here), I have cleaned up the VIs a bit with some basics like set Parent/Child relationship, get relationship, move and preposition, get/set menubar, resize status, and title bar, and a few other style functions.  This hasn't been posted publicly but is pretty basic and pulled in from other examples on the forums.  A more updated and complete Windows API could be useful.

Hi,

I cannot download the Multi Panel Interface.zip.

Is anyone have it or update the link ?

 

Best regards, Aurelien

Hi,

In the video, we can see that we can remove tab but in the code that I successfully download since my last post I can't.

Is it due to a new version where some function have been deleted ?

Kind Regards,

Aurelien

At what point in the video does a tab get removed?  I just watched it and no tab is removed.  I just downloaded the code and you are right that the Remove Tab doesn't work.  Not sure why, but I probably just forgot to implement that.

Just as an extra reference point, this post contains a redone winutil.llb file where all the references to the private winutil DLL have been removed and as far as possible replaced to compatible direct calls to the according Windows APIs. In addition the Call Library Nodes have been updated to be compatible for 32-bit and 64-bit operation and I also added one or two functions from this example into the library as well. In order to support seamless 32-bit/64-bit support one has to make sure to use the new Windows control contained in that lib for everything and modify any other Call Library Nodes your project may use accordingly too.

Backported to LV2009.

what's the licencing for this?

Edit. Removed software due to indeterminate licencing.

I simply took the library from the NI site and threw out anything that was accessing the DLL and then changed things to work for both 32-bit and 64-bit. I'm guessing it would therefore be under whatever license it was, which I think would be the NI Example Code License, whatever that actually means.

OK. I've deleted the backport since the licence is indeterminate. I thought it was a library you had created.

All incantations of the Winutil VIs out there are in fact from that library or its predecessor. Also the VI copies in this Multipanel Example.

That's fine. I just don't like to distribute modified software that I produce where the licencing isn't explicit - which is why I asked you for one (thinking you had produced it as the original author).

Looks like the original attachment got lost during a migration. Don't suppose you would mind uploading another copy?

If you are talking about my original post, the code is still there and can be downloaded just fine.  Why does everyone have problems downloading this except me?

Your download works fine but only for signed-in users. Also, the error message could be misleading:
