Using Graph as an Indicator or Control

Hi all
I have a simple question. How can i use the single GRAPH as an Indicator type or a Control type by means of a boolean switch?
Such that
1) if i use it as an indicator then the Cursor automatically go to the calculated x and y coordinates
2) If i use it as a control then the cursor should go wherever i want to drag it.
Thanks

Basically the item si simple: use SetCtrlAttribute (panelHandle, controlID, ATTR_CTRL_MODE, VAL_INDICATOR) to turn the graph as indicator, use VAL_HOT to use it as a control.
If in indicator mode, you can set cursor position by menas of SetGraphCursor command.
Proud to use LW/CVI from 3.1 on.

How to dinamically convert an indicator to control?

Hello all,
I need to write an application that:
1) Reads an array of strings from a file, and show it on a indicator (and this is correctly done)
2) Edit the array, as it was a control
3) Elaborate the strings (My array is a list of SPI commands, that are sent to an external device)
4) Optionally, save the modified array back to a file
How can this be done? It's not possible to think of a property node that converts the indicator to control, because the indicator is connected to a source of data, and the control should be connected to a destination... (an SPI driver in my case)
I somehow need an item with two connections, one entering and one exiting.
Thanks
Solved!

Hello all,
and thanks for your replies!
I think I've adopted a solution similar to the one you suggested, obtaining this front panel (see "frontpanel1.jpg" attachment)
The frontpanel I'd like to obtain is the one depicted on "frontpanel2.jpg": one structure (control or indicator?) used both to edit and to view what I load from file.
Maybe the only solution is to overlap a control and an indicator, and to toggle the "visible" property...

Arrays as both Indicator and Control

Is there anyway I can use an array (either a constant array or an array control) as both an indicator and control. I need this to enter and replace numeric values in an array.

As the earlier post stated, try using the local variable to update a
control from the diagram. You probably shouldn't place it inside the
loop, but use a shift register. Thus, take the value from the terminal,
into the left shift register. Inside the loop, take the left shift
register value, modify, and write to the right shift register. Outside
the loop again, wire from the right shift register to the local.
If you do no
t want to allow for user modification of the array control
during this, you can disable and reenable the array using a property node.
If you are not really doing this for UI, but to try and reuse memory,
then this is really the wrong approach. LV wires are really the most
efficient way of dealing with data, and you don't need to worry about
putting things back into an array unless it is for the UI. If it is to
pass out of a subVI, you will put them into a new array indicator in
fact, and when called as a subVI, this can often take no additional
memory, using the caller's array input throughout the diagram. If you
start using the local, this is no longer true, and you now have both
memory and runtime overhead. So use locals, and property nodes, only
for UI tasks, and your VIs will be much more efficient. For everything
else, use wires and shift registers.

Using WS-Security with Web Service Controls in WLI 8.1 SP3

We have a process that calls a web service hosted on a .NET environment. The technique we have used is to generate a service control from the web service WSDL and call that control from a process. The web service is protected using a WS-Security usernameToken policy. The problem is that the .NET environment requires the wsse:Nonce and wsu:Created elements to be provided along with the token and I cannot see how I can specify this using a wsse policy file in WebLogic workshop. Does anyone have any advice for the best way to add this information to the security element in the SOAP header from within a WLI process? I've seen some example code for a java web service client, but that would not really fit with the control-based approach normally adopted in a WLI environment.

You won't be able to do this using the WSSE file.
An easy way to get around this is to use an XML Bean built from the WS-Security XML Schema. You'll have to read the WS-Security spec to determine how to create the nonce, but you'll be able to convert this XML Bean into the Element[] that the setOutputHeaders() method, which is on the service control you call the .NET Web Service with.

SharePoint 2013 RSS Viewer not loading when other Custom web part using Update Panel or Ajax Timer control

Hi,
SharePoint 2013 RSS
Viewer web part failing to complete loading when the page loads.
This happens when having RSS Viewer and then adding a Custom webpart with an updatepanel and timer control.
I had used Ajax update panel and timer control to load the web part asynchronously after the main page is fully loaded.
The RSS-Viewer web part hangs in loading state while the custom webpart loads just fine.
The issue occurs when an like button click or Timer Tick event fires after the page
is loaded.
Haven't been able to track the issue.
Couple of workaround I tried to call a server side button click event from the custom web part after the page gets fully loaded using JQuery shown below did not work out either.
$(document).ready(function () {
$('#<%= netButton2.ClientID %>').click();
And
document.onreadystatechange = function () {
if (document.readyState == "complete") {
$('#<%= netButton2.ClientID %>').click();
Please let me know how to resolve this issue.
Thanks,
Franklin

Hi Johan,
The assignment of this user on the given task might be corrupted. Try to remove the resource from the task, publish the project, assign the resource again and publish again the project. If it is not working, try to unpublish the task (column "publish")
and publih it again.
Hope this helps,

Changes to graph sizes and indicator locations do not save.

I make changes to graph sizes and indicator locations on front panel and save VI but when I recall the VI changes are not saved.

Mojowoods, can you post some screenshots after you saved your indicators and graph and after you recall the vi?

HT3887 how can i configure my wireless keyword so i can use the Function F keys to control volume etc...? I am using 10.5.8 OS

how can i configure my wireless keyword so i can use the Function <F> keys to control volume etc...? I am using 10.5.8 OS

little wireless cameras would not have the ability to send back to the base, even thought the base can reach it.
Now if you take regular cameras and wire them into a Cisco switch that was attached to a wireless bridge that could shine back to the base...now you might have something, but your still going to have to do a survey/path analysis to determine if it is feasible.
Coverage isnt throughput. I see one base station with 3 or 4 sectoral antennas depending on direction, pointing two several distribution bridges to bridge the gaps that go out again to the cameras...something like that. And all of it should be higher in the air than your construction.

How do I track doc download progress using jQuery UI progress indicator?

How do I track document download progress using jQuery UI progress indicator?
I'm looking at downloading a zip file in response to the onclick event in a jQuery button. I'd like to show the download progress on the page.
I'm working with users who may not be Web savvy and need to know something is happening. Also, they may be on lower bandwidth connnections, so even a small zip file could take time to download.

Darn it, another senior moment.

Moving Stock Directly to a Fixed Bin using a Special Movement Indicator

I am trying to set up moving stocks directly to fixed bin using special movement indicator.
Found the below in SAP documentation:
==========
Each time a goods receipt is posted for material ABC, you want to move the material directly to storage bin FIX-ABC in storage type 005 of warehouse number 001 without creating a transfer requirement or transfer order. To do this, you need to set up the system as follows:
1. Create the fixed bin FIX-ABC in storage type 005 that is defined in the standard system using the fixed bin search strategy.
2. Create a special movement indicator for your warehouse number.
3. Add the special movement indicator and the fixed bin FIX-ABC to the material master for material ABC.
4. Create a new WM movement type to move materials directly into fixed bins without creating transfer orders or transfer requirements.
5. In the reference movement type table, create a new entry that links an appropriate IM movement type to the new movement type using the special movement indicator.
==============
I have completed the steps 1 to 4. I am not sure of step 5 in IMG. Can some one please give me the menupath and guide me?
Appreciate your help as always.
Regards,
Sadanand

Hello,
You can go to LE-WM-interfaces-Inventory management-Define movement types-
a) Assign WM Movement Type References to IM Movement Types - here you can assign your IM mvt to WM mvt
b) then LE-WM Interface to Inventory Management - here you can assign the ref movement type assigned in 1 above to the actual WM movement type you want to carry out and you can assign your special movement indicator here as well.
So this will be
<WH No.> <ref. mvt say 101> <mvt indicator say B ( for PO)> <spl mvt indicator that you have created> <Wm mvt type> <TR creation - X or A > <Immediate To creation X or A >
Thanks,
