i2dx Posted March 26, 2006 Report Share Posted March 26, 2006 Hello folks, I have - again - a Problem with LV8. I am about to release a new version of my ADO-Toolkit (1.5) and I experience some problems, regarding the palette set: I have developed the new version on my Laptop with LV 7.1. After finishing the LV 7.1 Version, I copied the ADO-Toolkit folder from the LV 7.1 vi.lib/addons directory to the LV 8.0 vi.lib/addons directory and incorporated the LV8 specific code. I started LV 8.0.1 and the palette-set is the same as in LV 7.1 (on my laptop). I copied the LV 7.1 Toolkit from the Laptop to LV7.1 on my PC and everything was fine. But when I copied the LV 8.0.1 version from my Laptop to my PC, I got the palette-view in LV8 of ADO-Tool V1.4.1, which was "installed" on this machine before the "update" to 1.5, and I can not figure out, how to tell LabVIEW 8 to use the new Palette view What I have tried already: (with closed LabVIEW) replaced the ADO-Toolkit folder in vi.lib/addons with the new one (ADO-Tool 1.5/LV8.0.1 from the laptop), started LabVIEW 8 => old palette set (with closed LabVIEW) deleted the ADO-Toolkit folder in the vi.lib/addons directory, started LV8 --> edit palette set (without making any changes) & save chances (the ADO-Toolkit sub palette was removed automatically, not even "Addons" was there...), closed LabVIEW --> copied the new ADO-Toolkit folder (ADO-Tool 1.5/LV8.0.1) into the vi.lib/addons directory, started LabVIEW, the ADO-Toolkit palette was there again, but with the palette set of the old (1.4.1) version. I found a post at forums.ni.com that says: you have to copy the dir.mnu files in the "menus" or "menus/default" subdir of LV 8. I did, but nothing changes, I have still the old palette set. The really strange thing is: On my Laptop all worked fine, as I expected, maybe because I copied it from LV 7.1? But I cannot get rid of the "old" palette view in LV8 on my PC. I really would appreciate if, if someone could give me a tip, how I can make sure, that the people, who download and use the ADO-Toolkit for LV 8, get the correct palette set. And I think, it's not only a problem for me, but for everyone, who wants to develop a toolkit. Thank you in advance, CB Quote Link to comment

Jim Kring Posted March 28, 2006 Report Share Posted March 28, 2006 just to bring up the thread again ...has noone else yet experienced this behaviour? has noone a tip for me? :sob: LabVIEW 8.0 stores palette edits in the LabVIEW Data folder (usually found in My Documents). Try looking in there -- you might want to delete all of this palette data. Quote Link to comment
