Auto resizing path control

How can I resize (programatically) so that the whole path is visible in a path control (for a file selected at run time)?
Thanks!

You have to right click on the control and set the caption to visible (which I thought I eliminated by the first caption.visible step), otherwise labview doesn't create the caption for it, I guess. And yes, the last one is Path Control.size.width.
This works in 8.2.1. Also, it extends to the right.
edit - tst brought it to my attention that property nodes execute top to bottom, so you can combine the first three nodes.

'Auto resize image' 'Settings' dialog box controls

I have a signature that contains an avatar image (size 120px by 120px)
Every time I 'Send' an 'Auto Resize Image' > 'Settings' dialogue box pops up
How can I bypass this as its becoming annoying.
Most emails (98%) do not contain any other embedded or attached images.
This only started to happen after upgrading to latest version of Thunderbird, was never an issue before.

Doesn't sound like a standard Thunderbird pop up as I've not come across it.
Do you by any chance have an addon /extension such as Auto Resize Image?
* https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/auto-resize-image/
if yes, disable it and retest to see if message stops.
Check you are using an up to date version.
check to see if there is some settings you can use to 'not ask again' or similar. Can't say exactly as I do not use it.
I use the standard TB settings to adjust for sizing when I originally insert an image.

Auto resize width height in TextFlow controller

HI,
We are facing the problem in auto resize width height in TextFlow controller. Content is overlaping withing the controller or sometimes it's seems like not full containt displaying on the control.
We are writing the below code in the flashx.textLayout.events.CompositionCompleteEvent listiner to orgnize the above step:
     var controller:ContainerController = new ContainerController();
     textFlow.flowComposer.composeToPosition();
     var contentBounds:Rectangle = _controller.getContentBounds();
   _controller.setCompositionSize(_controller.compositionWidth, contentBounds.height);
   textFlow.flowComposer.addController(_controller);
   textFlow.flowComposer.updateAllControllers();
Please correct if are missing any steps above.
Regards,
R.BS

Hi,
I have got the solution on my last query. Below is the code to get rid of the content display and auto adjust the width & height of the controller:
var textHeight:int = Math.ceil(_controller.getContentBounds().height);
   if (textHeight > _controller.compositionHeight) {
     TextDataHeight = textHeight + 12;
               _controller.setCompositionSize(TextDataWidth ,TextDataHeight);
               textFlow.flowComposer.updateAllControllers();
I have also set the TextDataHeight = 50 to display complete paragraph text.
Due to this I have one problem arise that is indentation of the paragraph content or bulleted text on my content.
Is any one have the solution on this?
Looking forward for your response.
Regards,
R.BS

How to force the File Path Control Browser button to the RT Target instead of the host machine?

I am building an application on a RT PXI system, and for one of the functions I would like the user to be able to use the browser button of the File Path Control to choose a directory on the PXI. However the browser button seems to only want open a file on the host PC, even though the application is fully deployed on the target. Note that I am controlling the PXI from a host PC.
If anyone has any suggestions that would be great. Thanks.

Hi,
Unfortunately, there is not a VI to do this. Are you browsing to these files from your host VI? In order to access the files on your PXI RT target, you'll need to FTP in and browse to them that way. You could programmatically do this, but there is not a simple VI to do so.

File path control - browse button colour/color

I can't change the colour of the browse button on a file path control. I'm using LV 8.5, but I think I have the same problem on 7.1
Is the only way to change the colour to customise the control? Every other part of it seems to take colours from the tools palette.
Thanks for any pearls of wisdom.
Jon.

I am able to change the path browse button color in 8.51 are you trying to change the button color or the color of the folder on the button. To change the buttoin color use the paint tool and make sure you hit the space bar so you are painting the left color (Background color I cant remember which is which). This probably doesnt work on system buttons.

"File Path Control" default Value

Hi - How do we set or change the default value for "File Path Control" (Control --> String & Path ---> File Path Control)?
I typed the default path into the control field on the front pannel and save the VI file. The value gone when I reopen the file.

jimmy.chretien wrote:
[...] difference between Not a path and Empty path... Why?
Not a Path is a specific value for the path (<Not a Path>).
Developers should use this to prevent situations in applications, where a user has to select a path before performing an action (e.g. saving a file). If the user skips the path selection, the application still has "Not a Path" and can prevent errors and tell the user to select the path (error handling!).

File Path Control question

Simple question: How do I invoke the Open command in the File Path control? My reason is of my user hasn't supplied a file, then I want to force the user to select one.
Solved!

Most file related vi should prompt if there is no file path. If for some reason you are not getting that you could check to see if the file path is empty and add a prompt see below:

File path control-how to avoid the user to change the path string

Hi all,
I'm using "File path control" to chose file name. I don't want the user to write the path in the control directly (by typing) but only to choose the file via the button on the right.
I can implement this behaviour with path indicator and button of course. But I belieave that it can be done more elegant - only disable the part with the string - not the whole "File path control". But how? I tried to customize the control but not success.
Is it possible?

The way I've done it is to make the path part of the control tiny and hide it behind a string indicator. Then whenever the path control changes value (by pressing the Browse button), I populate the string indicator with the path value. Here's a sample VI demonstrating this method, saved in LabVIEW 8.0.
Hope this helps,

File path control: invoke file browser activation

Hi there,
on the front panel of a vi I want a file path control to open automatically the file browser window when the user clicks into the path control. Is there any way to do that programmatically after the mouse down event has been fired? I couldn't find a suitable method so far.
Thanks for any hint,
Peter
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I should point out that the mechanism you (I am referring to the OP) are proposing is counter-intuitive. Web browsers have started to do this, but they do it claiming security issues. Frankly, I think the security concern is small compared to the annoying change in normal behavior, but that's my just my opinion - I can't change the way Firefox or IE works.
Do you not have the Browse button visible for the control? Clicking this displays a file browser. This is normal and expected behavior.

JTable in JScrollPane auto resize refresh problem

Hello,
I have a JTable in a JScrollPane. Number of rows is changing.
I'm using the following to auto-resize JScrollPane.
public Dimension getPreferredSize() {
              Dimension size = super.getPreferredSize();
              size.height -= getViewport().getPreferredSize().height;
              Component view = getViewport().getView();
              if(view != null)
              size.height += view.getPreferredSize().height;
              return size;
         }There is a JButton, which adds an empty row to the JTable. It all works fine, except the auto-resize when a new row is added. I want all rows of JTable to be visible, with no scrollbars present. I tried repaint(), revalidate(), addNotify(). What should I do?
Thanks.

Sure
DefaultTableModel dtm = new DefaultTableModel(vec, header);
          jt0 = new JTable(dtm);
          jt0.getTableHeader().setReorderingAllowed(false);
          jt0.setFont(new Font("Tahoma", Font.PLAIN, 12));
          jt0.getTableHeader().setFont(new java.awt.Font("Tahoma", java.awt.Font.BOLD, 12));
          jt0.setRowHeight(18);
        jt0.setPreferredScrollableViewportSize(new Dimension(500, jt0.getRowCount() * jt0.getRowHeight()));
        jt0.setFillsViewportHeight(false);
          jsp0 = new JScrollPane(jt0);
GridBagConstraints gbc = new GridBagConstraints();
        gbc.insets = new Insets(2,1,2,1);
        gbc.weightx = 1.0;
        gbc.weighty = 1.0;
        JPanel p0 = new JPanel(new GridBagLayout());
        gbc.fill = gbc.HORIZONTAL;
        p0.add(jsp0, gbc);
          JButton jb1 = new JButton("add row");
          jb1.setSize(40, 18);
jb1.addActionListener(new java.awt.event.ActionListener() {
               public void actionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent e) {
                    dtm.addRow(new Object[]{....});
//                    jt0.scrollRectToVisible(jt0.getCellRect(jt0.getModel().getRowCount()-1, 1, false));
//                    jt0.setRowSelectionInterval(jt0.getModel().getRowCount()-1, jt0.getModel().getRowCount()-1);
    public class SizeX extends JScrollPane {
         public Dimension getPreferredSize() {
              Dimension size = super.getPreferredSize();
              size.height -= getViewport().getPreferredSize().height;

Auto resize webpage?

i have just finished my site which can be seen here www.jbpermanentcosmetics.co.uk The site looks fine on my Macbook pro on Mac and windows but it is way too large for 4:3 monitors. The site width is 1200 which in hindsight is too large really but i don't want to have to resize the whole website. Is there any HTML code which i can add which will auto resize the page to avoid horizontal scrolling?

<SCRIPT language="JavaScript">

</SCRIPT>
rossn49, you can not use that javascript. It switches between two pages/sites (I bolded the code), which means you have to add another site with narrow width.... you indicated that you wouldn't like to do that.
However, you can find the sweet spot for your site design; many people started to design their sites for regular computer and also accommodate mobile devices such as iPhone.
You may like to do just that, iPhone's resolution is 960px wide, so I would conservatively take it down to 900px~920px wide.
OT, thanks for the good words... I'd not read the forum today. I'd been spending time today to figure out and mount my GPS on my new motorscooter, maybe I will buy motorscootersaurus.com for my new site. LOL!

Send path control or reference to path control to sub vi

Hello! I have a question of how to build correct labview structure. I have a path control in my main vi and want to check if it is correct in a sub vi. If not correct, ask the user for a correct one in the sub vi. I see two different options of how to do it and I think no one is realy good.
1. Draw a wire from the path control to the input of the subvi. The answer from the sub vi is connected to a local of the path control. This uses locals that I should not use.
2. Draw a reference from the path control to the input of the sub vi. In the sub vi change the value of the reference if path is not correct. No output is needed. Using reference you do not see where variables changes.
How should I solve a problem like
this?
Please help me!

Local variables are fine. Don't worry about using them.

Auto-resizing all components

Is there a method that auto resizes all components on a JFrame when it is maximised for example. I have got a JTable (in a scrollpane) and some other components on a panel. I have sized the frame to be approx 80% of the screen size. When the frame is maximised, the table and the other components retain their original size (understandably so!). Is there a method available that can resize the panel and its components to resize accordingly when the frame is maximised?...I know I can add the componentListener and implement a method in the componentResized() method...but I dont want to duplicate stuff that's already available. Thanx for your help.

I don't know the specific needs.
BorderLayout: simple Layout; Components are oriented NORTH, EAST, SOUTH, WEST
FlowLayout: all components are added after the other
GridLayout: components are oriented in a grid
GridBagLayout: complex once
See the Java Tutorial for more information.

Auto Resize Text in a Text Box

How do you make the text inside of a text box auto resize to fit the box I'm typing in?
I have a text box with a list in it. I change this list everyday and like the text to fit the box. The size of the text doesn't matter. If I have a long list, I don't mind that the font is small. If I have a short list that day, I don't mind that the font size is then big. Hopefully I am making sense. I used to use text boxes like this in MS Publisher and am assuming I just need to find a setting change in Pages.
I do this often enough that it would save time not having to keep guessing the correct font size until it fits properly.
Thanks!

Assuming that application B will behave the same than application A is always a bad idea.
There is no reason for such a guess.
