Ton Plomp Posted July 4, 2006 Report Share Posted July 4, 2006 Does anyone have succecfully saved a VI which used the VI activation event (private one). Because the event behaves normal but then I try to save it I get an error: Does anyone seen this before? I want to use this to detect activating a VI. and get the co Quote Link to comment

Ton Plomp Posted July 4, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2006 Well i don't see my issue anymore after rebuilding from scratch, although I haven't added one nasty private property. I am working on a toolbar next to the open panels which move with the active panel. I hoped at LV8 there was finally a way to add your own button to the tool bar but no! :thumbdown: Ton Quote Link to comment

But with the new splitter pane you can create your own very nice toolbars in LabVIEW 8 quite easily. Rolf Kalbermatter Quote Link to comment
Ton Plomp Posted July 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2006 Hi Rolf, I'm looking into a development toolbar... with some buttons like, Save, New, Open, Check In, Check out, Print, Save diagram, Build Documentation. I hoped this could be next to the controls in the edit-mode toolbar. But I'm almost there in making a floating toolbar. If i'm satisfied (and not that ashamed about the programming style) I'll put some here. Ton PS I think i'll have to dive into GOOP to get this working..... Quote Link to comment
crelf Posted July 6, 2006 Report Share Posted July 6, 2006 I'm looking into a development toolbar This could be a a good candidate for the LAVA Code Repository... Quote Link to comment
Jeffrey Habets Posted July 6, 2006 Report Share Posted July 6, 2006 Someone please tell me how I can access the VI activation event... Is there some SuperSecretIniEntry I don't know of yet? Feed me please! :laugh: Quote Link to comment
Yair Posted July 6, 2006 Report Share Posted July 6, 2006 Someone please tell me how I can access the VI activation event...Is there some SuperSecretIniEntry I don't know of yet? It should appear in the list of events for the event structure (along with some other new events) when you use the standard supersecret... entries. Quote Link to comment
crelf Posted July 6, 2006 Report Share Posted July 6, 2006 Is there some SuperSecretIniEntry I don't know of yet? Only these ones. Quote Link to comment
Ton Plomp Posted July 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2006 Only these ones. I'm not sure which of the 2 is usefull, so I enabled them both. One other question: How can I close a VI via VI-server, and let this event trigger the event structure. I assumed the 'FP.Close' method would trigger the 'Panel Close?'-event but it didn't. Now I have a User event 'close' but this is a bad workaround.. Any thoughts? Ton PS: For the lava repository, this is what I got so far: A method to add buttons (actually pictures), these pictures merge into one toolbar (just in the order they where added). I have the following 'events': Mouse enter Mouse leave Mouse move Mouse down Mouse up So far I have two buttons, one to close the bar, and one to save the BD/FP to a png (thanks to JP Drolet, Altenbach and ChillyCharly at NI-breakpoint) So I'm still thinking about changing button appearance (should be easy), remove a button, dynamic tip-strip, move the tool-bar, flatten the toolbar.. I hope to 'finish' the work next two/three weeks or so Quote Link to comment
crelf Posted July 6, 2006 Report Share Posted July 6, 2006 For the lava repository, this is what I got so far... Looks pretty good to me! Quote Link to comment
Jeffrey Habets Posted July 7, 2006 Report Share Posted July 7, 2006 Only these ones. I had both of these, but there was a typo in SuperSecretPrivateSpecialStuff.. Darn, I missed out on this for this long. :thumbdown: At least I can now confirm this specific entry gives us the extra events. Quote Link to comment

Ton Plomp Posted July 8, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2006 Looks pretty good to me! And it's getting even better, hopefully I have the time tonight (during Germany-Portugal) to finish Beta 1 (bad documentation. ) It's looking kinda neat. I am only looking for a way to launch the toolbar when LabVIEW kicks in. I found something at OpenG, but Jim stated these where version specific, it only showed LV7 <... Does anyone know if these still work (darn and now I can't find the info anymore :headbang: ) Found else it resides in the tools menu! Ton Quote Link to comment
