How can I make a "property node" for a VI?

Hello!
If I add a boolean button on the FP then I am able to make a property node for that button in the Block Diagram. But how can I make a property node for a VI? I have several VI:s an that together is one program. What I need to do is to verify what kind of VI some of my VI:s is. I need to verify if it is .exe or .vi-file, and if it is .exe then I want to disable run, abort, run continuously bottons otherwise not. I have hard that this is possible to do programmaticaly but I can´t figure out how. I am aware that I could do that manually in the File->vi properties->customize->windows appearance but theese choises makes it last forever.
I want to be able to stop and run and everything if it is a .vi file, but if it is .exe-file then all those buttons should be disabled.
Anyone have an example on this?
In an other message at this Forum I read "You can use the `Front Panel Window. Allow Runtime PopUp`" property to disable run-time shortcuts menues programmaticaly, but still I dont know how to create this property node.

You really shouldn't open a new thread. If you don't understand something, ask and we will explain it.
Like I said in the other thread, you can check if you are running in LV or an EXE by using the Application>>Kind property. To get it, place a property node (from the Application Control palette) on the diagram, click it and find the property.
To set the properties for the VI, place another property node, right click it and select Select Class>>VI Server>>VI. You should have the properties you want under Front Panel Window.
To learn more about LabVIEW, I suggest you try searching this site and google for LabVIEW tutorials. Here and here are a couple you can start with. You can also contact your local NI office and join one of their courses.
In addition, I suggest you read the LabVIEW style guide and the LabVIEW user manual (Help>>Search the LabVIEW Bookshelf). I believe chapter 17 of the user manual explains about programmatic control of VIs.
Try to take over the world!

You can do this using a meta refresh but the problem is you have to add it to the html file for the page very time you publish changes.
A better way is to create a splash page and upload it to the server outside of the folder produced by iWeb. Example HERE.
The meta refresh is added to the head section of the html file...
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="32;url=http://www.domain.about.com/Page-Name.html">

How can I make a bootable disk for Mountain Lion?

How can I make a bootable disk for Mountain Lion?

Make Your Own Mountain/Lion Installer
1. After downloading Mountain/Lion you must first save the Install Mac OS X Mountain/Lion application. After Mountain/Lion downloads DO NOT click on the Install button. Go to your Applications folder and make a copy of the Mountain/Lion installer. Move the copy into your Downloads folder. Now you can click on the Install button. You must do this because the installer deletes itself automatically when it finishes installing.
2. Get a USB flash drive that is at least 8 GBs. Prep this flash drive as follows:
Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
After DU loads select your flash drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to an hour depending upon the flash drive size.
3. Locate the saved Mountain/Lion installer in your Downloads folder. CTRL- or RIGHT-click on the installer and select Show Package Contents from the contextual menu. Double-click on the Contents folder to open it. Double-click on the SharedSupport folder. In this folder you will see a disc image named InstallESD.dmg.
4. Plug in your freshly prepared USB flash drive. You are going to clone the content of the InstallESD.dmg disc image to the flash drive as follows:
Double-click on the InstallESD.dmg file to mount it on your Desktop.
Open Disk Utility.
Select the USB flash drive from the left side list.
Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
Select the USB flash drive volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
Drag the mounted disc icon from the Desktop into the Source entry field.
Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
When the clone is completed you have a fully bootable installer that you can use without having to re-download Mountain/Lion.
Note: The term Mountain/Lion used above means Lion or Mountain Lion.

You will only know about the hard drive when you try to access it in TDM from your other computer. If you cannot boot into TDM mode or if the drive does not appear on the new computer's Desktop then it is likely bad.
What you are thinking about as a recovery disk is the Recovery HD normally created when you install Lion or later on the computer. You boot from it as follows:
Boot Using Command+R keys:
1. Restart the computer.
2. Immediately after the chime press and hold down the
"COMMAND" and the "R" keys together.
3. Release the keys when the Utilities Menu appears.

How can I make more email maps for the iPad2?

If you are on iOS 5 as your tagline suggests and it's an IMAP type account then you should get an Edit button at the top of the list of folders that you currently have on your email account. If it's a POP type account then you won't get the Edit button.

Why can't I create property nodes for item in STRICT typedef cluster?

I've tried this in LV7.0/WIN2k and LV 7.1/OSX - both versions work the same.
I have a TYPEDEF consisting of a cluster of items A, B, and C.
I have a front-panel instance of this typedef.
Under certain conditions, I want to disable and gray Item C, because it's not applicable.
So I need a property node connected to item C.
If the typedef is STRICT, then I cannot create such a property node - the menu item to create anything is just not there.
If I change to NON-STRICT, then I can create the property node.
I can change it back to STRICT, and the property node works just fine.
The question is, if the nodes WORK normally, why can I not CREATE one?
If there's some sense behind this, someone please point it out to me...

Blog for (mostly LabVIEW) programmers: Tips And Tricks

I agree with you, It would be nice to be able to keep the non strict typedef auto-update and extend it to properities which effect the look of a control. I am not sure why you can change the properities on a strict typedef. A strict typedef should have private properities (can only be changed from within the definition and no public other vi scope for writing these values. I have in the past used a custom control for presentation purposes and contained the structure of the data to be displayed within the typedef cluster. This is not all that automatic since we need vi's to convert between the definition and control. Seperating data structure from presentation is much like XML where the file only contains data structure and a reference to a style for presentation. It would be a very nice option to allow nonstrict typedefs to have an additional auto-update properities which could be toggled on and off. I would be curious to here others opinions on how to keep data structure and presentation consistant across an application without being tied down to a strict typedef (allowing the optional change of teh presentation at runtime).

How can I make CS4 the default for opening?

Help! I have most versions of PS but I prefer CS4. I am a photographer. Forever CS4 was the default when opening photos. Something happened yesterday and now when I double click on a photo to open it it opens but not in CS4. Not sure what version it's opening in. But I want it to open in 4. I can right click each and every time to open in 4 but I open tons of photos all day long and that takes too long. How can I again make it so that CS4 is the default?
Thank you.

Thanks. I couldn't figure out what you meant.
What does CMD I stand for?
If I right click on a file I can open in CS4 but there's no 'change all' there, just option of opening in CS4 or something else.
I open RAW files. Then later I open jpg files. I think they are opening in CS4 as RAW (not sure) but the jpgs are not. If I right click it says CS6 is the default -- first one listed and has (default) next to it.

How can I make an iPad slideshow for a friend, without having an iPad?

I'm on a MacBook Pro, 10.5.8 old school stuff these days, I'm sure. The point is, I don't have any fancy new apps or an iPad.
A friend has an iPad 2, I think (the newest kind) and I wanted to make them a slideshow (or a couple). What would be the easiest way of doing this—using Keynote, or just stuffing the pictures into a folder in numerical order and zipping it?
Also, I want to resize all the images so they appear full screen right off the bat. The info I found on Apple's website is:
1024 x 768
132 pixels/inch
Does this sound about right? Thanks so much!

If you MacBook Pro came with Lion preinstalled then you will not have a copy of iDVD. That's because iDVD and iWeb have been discontinued by Apple and is not longer being included in iLife.
You can purchase a copy from Amazon.com: iLive 11.
If you do have Lion this post will self destruct in 10, 9, 8... seconds and you can follow Terence's directionsl
As for iDVD the following is a recommended workflow to follow;
Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.
To check the encoding mount the disk image and launch DVD Player and play it. If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding was good.
Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality. Always use top quality media: Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.

How can I make CONTAINS query work for a date range

In either 9i or 10g (eventual). I have a CONTEXT index that contains multiple columns from multiple tables and using a USER_DATASTORE. E.g., I have names that come from 3 different table locations and dates that come from 4. I can index them fine but how can I perform a single consolidated CONTAINS query against the single CONTEXT index to do the following:
smith WITHIN lname AND john WITHIN fname AND dob BETWEEN '19870315' and '19970315'
I know that I can use a mixed query but this is inefficient (esp since I have birth dates in multiple tables). Is there any algorithm for a range operator (>, <, between?) within the CONTAINS operator?
CTXCAT index is not an option, as I have many text columns I am searching.
Thanks!

When you run the cdstore.sql, in addition to creating the ctx_cd package, it also creates the friedman package that contains the algorithm that the ctx_cd package uses. You could use the functions from that friedman package in your procedure for your user_datastore and in the creation of your query string, as demonstrated below.
