Array of strings strict type def not updating

I have defined an Array of Strings (ctrl) as a strict type def. When I update this array (add another string to it) the values don't update where this control is used. Can someone please explain why this is occuring.

Only the size of the array _shell_ is locked, not the size of the array data. The array shell is a window into the data of the array control. If you change the value of the index display you will change the indices visible inside the array shell.

  • Changes to Text Ring Items in Type Def not Updated in Copies

    In LabVIEW 2010, I have Type Definition which is a Cluster that contains several Controls including a Text Ring control.
    If I go into the Type Definition and Edit the Items in the Text Ring, those changes to the Items in the Text Ring do not show up in the "copies" of the Type Definition control on my Front Pane, even though the "Auto-Update from Type Def." feature is checked.
    How do I get changes to the Items in a Text Ring in a Cluster in a Type Definition Control to show up in all of the "copies' of the Type Definition on my Front Panel?
    I shouldn't have to edit the same Items in the same Text Ring in multiple places.

    What you see is normal behaviour of rings. The general advice is to use an enum instead of a ring. Rings are useful as FP elements which you want to populate during run-time.
    I guess this is the best option you have, replace the ring by an enum inside your type def and hope it's all fine...
    Another option you can try if you need to have it as a ring, is to make it a strict type def. I'm not sure but I would expect it to propagate the ring text to all instances. On the other hand, you can't programmatically set the ring text as long as it's a strict type def, so to get the bahviour of a ring again, you will need to revert back to a normal type def.

  • Change strings of (strict type def) refnum

    mitulatbati wrote in http://forums.ni.com/ni/board/message?board.id=170&thread.id=233257&view=by_date_ascending&page=5:
    Hi,
    I have made a strict type def, which is a text ring. I open the VI reference -> get Panel property node -> Controls[] -> Index first element (there is only one, the ring) -> change Strings and values, and then close reference.
    If I call this subvi from a VI, which includes this strict type ring, it will be only updated, when I restart the VI. And not in runtime. I don´t get any error, everything looks fine, but the strings and values are not updated :-(
    Is there a way not to restart the VI, but to modify the ring programatically?
    regards

    Hello mitulatbati,
    I do something similar with a Combo Box. The reference to each box is stored in an unitinialised shift register of a VI. When I want to change the selectable text, I do it in a for loop for every stored control.
    A VI doeing this for Rings is attached (LV8.2.1).
    Greetings,

  • Sort Second Element in Array of Strict Type Def Clusters

    I need to sort the an array of strict type def clusters by the second or third element in the cluster.  In the past I have used 1-D array sort and sorted by the first element of the cluster.  When I need to sort by the second, third, or fourth element of the cluster I just break down the cluster and rebuild it placing the desired sort element in the first position of the new cluster.  This works for simple tasks and clusters, but as the cluster gets more complicated this becomes a pain to do this.  There must be a cleaner way to sort by other elements within the original array of strict type def clusters.  Has anyone succeeded in doing this a different way?

    Hello,
    Here's the way I would do it...just create a new cluster array, where each cluster contains two elements...the unbundled item you want to sort by, and the cluster itself.  Then sort the new cluster array, then unbundle the sorted cluster array to get the original clusters (now sorted).  Here is a screenshot:
    There may be a better way, but this is the first thing I thought of.

  • How to edit the appearance of one instance of a type def (not strict)?

    Hello,
    I would like to edit the appearance of a control (changes which require using the LV control editor).  Unfortunately, this control is an instance of a (non strict) type def.  How do I do this, without editing the appearance of the type def itself?
    Thanks,
    Jaegen

    Hi Jaegen, this worked for me...
    Open the typedef - don't worry, you aren't going to _save_ changes
    Edit typedef as needed
    [When done editing] copy connector-pane (select, ctrl-C)
    File\Revert !!!
    Select target-control and paste!
    In LabVIEW 7.1, the edited/pre-reverted ... ouch ... control appears (and still connected to typedef).

  • How to change the font color in a strict type def programatically

    Could someone suggest a way to change the font color of a string indicator in a strict type def cluster programmatically? The cluster contains a label that is color-coded to match the function of the data channel represented by that cluster.  The function of each channel is not predetermined, so the font color needs to be changed programmatically.  To represent all channels, I have arranged a large cluster that contains 100 instances of the control.  This makes it essential that the control be strictly type defined in order to change the layout of the clusters uniformly.
    Can anyone suggest either a method by which I can let the control remain a strict type def and change the font color, or a method by which I can programmatically change the control from a strict type def to a type def?  Currently, I am saving the control as a strict type def every time I make a change and then saving it again as a type def when I am ready to run the program.  This works fine, but just seems inelegant.  This color-coding is used throughout the program in various indicators, so a neat solution would be greatly appreciated.

    As mentioned in my Nugget on Type definitions you can create strict type-defs that contain type-defs.
    If you make your data definition a type and put that definition in a strict type-def (one of each flavor) you can use the appropraite strict type where each is required.
    Yes the data structure will have another level of nesting so if you are "too far gone" you may not like this idea.
    Otherwise you can write a VI that opens the typed-def and do a "save as..." and use it everytime you edit the type-def.
    I hope something helps!

  • Setting control to default value when it is a strict type def

    If my subVI has a control that happens to be a strict type defined cluster and I have saved the values in the control as the default values, how can I change them back to the default values of the type def (which are empty).  Because it is a strict type definition, i cannot click on the elements inside the cluster and modify them (e.g. click on an array inside the cluster and do an empty array operation.)
    In the attached screenshot, the control "BLE Meters To Test" is just an array of clusters and I was able to empty the array.  The control "Capture Data" is a strict type def.  I would like to clear the contents of this control without having to delete the control and add it back with a new instance of the same strict type def.
    Solved!

    are you talking about edit mode or run mode?
    You could temporarily add a second instance of the typedef (all empty), then change it to a constant. Whenver you need to reset at run time, write the new digram constant to a local variable of the control.

    Make sure to click on the array container, not on the array elements.

  • How can I change the numeric and enum default values in a Strict Type Def Cluster?

    I have a Strict Type Def cluster that contains 10 Numerical controls and a number of enums.  I have edited default values of the numerical controls in the Strict Type Def, in customize mode, performed a "Make Current Values Default"  and have done a "Apply Changes"  and saved.
    This cluster is used in various locations throughout the project and have not found a way to make the cluster default values change downstream.  The Strict Type Def (STD) Control appears to have the right values on the front panel.  But if I place an instance of this on a blank front panel, and run a wire from it in the block diagram with a probe and indicator, I still get the old default values being passed from the STD.

    There Are No Strict Type Definition Constants
    "Even though typedefs only update when types change, instances get cosmetic changes from the definition whenever they update. So one trick to "push" changes to typedef instances is to change the data type, apply changes, and then change the data type back. [edit, March 26 - Note that the typedef instances need to be in memory when you use this trick]."

  • Billing type is not updating in COPA table

    HI Gurus

    Example 2 for billing document 10354965 billing type is updating in ECC COPA table  CE11000
    Billing type is same for the both billing documents but its updating for one document and it is not updating for another document
    Please help me to find out the rout cause

    hi,  can your replay the problem in your system?
    if so , I suggest you to set a user breakpoint in ERP  function BAPI_ACC_DOCUMENT_POST, (the user need to use the Middleware user not your foreground login user)
    And when billing document inbound to ERP, SAP will call the function. then you can check if the CO-PA fields has been filled correctly or not.

  • Valuation Type Price not updating in the PR

    We are using two valuation types for a material.
    Valuation type(New)in Material master has some price value in it Ex: 50 dollars per unit and Valuation type (Expense) is with Zero value.
    While creating a Purchase Requisition,default valuation type(New) gets updated and if we change the valuation type to (Expense) in the PR,there is no change in the Price.Actually the price should be Zero as defined in Material Master.
    Why the price is not updating ????
    Apperciating ur immediate response.

    Hi,
    During PR creation, Valuation Price is to be maintained derogatorily and generally it gets defaulted from Material Master.
    Once the Valuation Type "NEW" is getting defaulted in PR then it is copying the price from this and after changing the valuation type it doesn't change the Price since the valuation price obligation has already been fulfilled.
    So if you will stop defaulting the Valuation Type "NEW" for the material then it will ask Valuation type in PR and then it will pick up the price for that Valuation type.
    Default Valuation Type is maintained in OMWC
    Go to OMWC, there click on "Global Categories", here position cursor on the Valuation category (Maintained for Material Master) and click on "Change" button, here check have you entered any Valuation type "NEW" in field "Default: val.type ext.procure."
