Bound XControl doesn't update when not visible

Hi all,
I'm running into an issue with XControl binding and missed Data Change events. In particular I have a VI with a single subpanel. The VI loads and asynchronously runs multiple different subVIs, and handles swapping the subVIs into and out of the subpanel. So far, so good.
The problem I have is that each of these subVIs contains multiple XControls, each of which is bound to a shared variable. When the subVI is visible in the subpanel, the bound XControl receives Data Change events without issue. The bound XControls in the other subVIs don't receive any Data Change events, and when the subVI is loaded into the subpanel, all of the XControl data is stale. I've verified the subVIs are running correctly, and that simple numeric controls which are bound do correctly update when the subVI isn't visible.
This appears related to the issue(s) mentioned in this thread from 2006 (!), for which a CAR was raised (41OGGULG).
Was this issue ever resolved?
For now my workaround is to bind a control within the XControl (which does work), but this will only work for simple datatypes to be displayed. For complex data types requiring additional prcoessing for display, this is still an issue. Is there anything else I can do to get around this problem?

Hi MichaelBalzer,
I've looked at our CAR database and a previous SR having to deal with this CAR. It seems that the answer given by RnD is that the workaround is the "final solution" having to deal with this CAR. Please post this on our idea exchange (http://forums.ni.com/t5/NI-Idea-Exchange/ct-p/idea​s) and keep an eye out for fixes in future versions of LabVIEW!

    This feature is only available on iOS 5 or later.  You must still be running iOS 4.  Connect your iPad to the computer you usually sync with and run iTunes software update.

  • Code doesn't update when uploading new files to website.

    code doesn't update when uploading new files to website.   I was using an old DW version for a long time then forced to upgrade when I bought my MacBook Pro. Now when I make changes to my pages and link to new files etc on my harddrive, when i upload the pages it won't image because the code still points to harddrive (this did not used to be a problem)... I manually changed the code on the web host site to point to the site and it loaded fine. But now my files on my harddrive also point to the web host files and now don't image on my computer. I never had to worry about this so far and wonder if the new version has a setting I'm supposed to be aware of so that I can design on my hardrive and upload and it knows that the files are being uploaded with it?  Ugh hpe this makes sense - I'm NOT a webs designer and the new DW is way more than I use in it's technology.

    Hi
    This sounds like you have not defined your site in the site definition.
    Follow the steps in these 2 tutorials to set-up your site locally and for the remote server -

  • PSD preview doesn't update when i change psd-file

    Hello everyone!)

  • XControl doesn't update listbox contents

    I'm finally diving into XControls and after much frustration am finally getting some results. I must be making this harder than it is. Anyway, I'm trying to update a listbox in the control. When the string list comes from something like a static array the listbox updates fine. But when I try to get the strings from the List Folder VI, then I get nothing in the listbox. Are there some things you can't do inside the Facade VI? I know you can call subVIs because it's done in the example.
    How do you probe what's going on inside the Facade VI? When I first started working with the control I could set the Highlight Execution and watch what was going on. Now it does nothing and the run arrow never even comes on in the Facade VI. Yet the control is definitely working.
    George

    Just on a side note, make sure that you bundle in a TRUE to the "State Changed?" element of the action cluster for each event case where you operate on the output data.
    (This is a mistake I made a few times when I started playing with Xcontrols.)

  • Automatic updates when not connected to WiFi

    When I am on WiFi it seems like my automatic app updates always happen, but when I am using just cellular data, it doesn't seem to automatically update them, even though I have the option to use cellular data for automatic downloads turned on. I'll go into the app store and the update will just sit there and I'll have a red badge on my app store icon. As soon as I connect to a WiFi, the updated automaticaly downloads. I have all the settings turned on so it should update automatically even when I'm not on WiFi. Maybe it takes longer for the update to download when you are using cellular data? Anyone else experience this at all?

    Do you have Settings > "iTunes & App Store" settings for "Updates" enabled and "Use Cellular Data" enabled.  You need this in addition to "Cellular Data" and "App Store" enabled in the Settings > Cellular tab.  This is one of the times where 2 places in Settings have to be enabled -- "iTunes & App Store" and "Cellular" for the auto updates to work over your cellular network.

  • URGENT!!!!!!!! ComboBox doesn't update if not "activated"

    This is urgent...
    I have a GUI in which a check box sets a value within a column of combo boxes in a table (all having their own cell editor). When I turn off the checkbox, I run through each editor, retrieve its model, set the selected item which calls an item event saying the combo box state was changed. This is essentially the same procedure as just setting the combo box by selecting and clicking the option you want, except I change the selected item without activating the combo box when I use the checkbox. I know I am truly activating the correct object of the combo boxes in the column, but the change is not displayed. The only time the change is displayed is if I currently have the combo box selected and then only that selected combo box displays the change (not the rest of the column). I have tried revalidating and repainting the combo boxes, the table, and the panel as well as firing the tableDataChanged event. Nothing seems to work. What should I do? I am not updating the table data when I change the combo box... is that wrong? How could I know which cell I'm in from inside the combo box when the selected item changes to update the table if that's what I'm doing wrong? I need to turn this in to my job this weekend, so please help!

    URGENT!!!!!!!! Using a topic title like "URGENT" followed by exclamations is one sure way to not get an answer from people on the forum.
    This is urgent... Not for us it isn't. Implying that your question is any more important than any other question on the forum is another way to not get a response.
    Anyway your question is like big run on sentence and I have no idea what you are asking or what your problem is or what your code looks like.
    If you need further help then you need to create a [url http://homepage1.nifty.com/algafield/sscce.html]Short, Self Contained, Compilable and Executable, Example Program that demonstrates the incorrect behaviour, because I can't guess exactly what you are doing based on the information provided.

  • I have version 3.5.1, and it doesn't update when I open "About Mozilla Firefox" under the Firefox tab, why?

    I have a MAC, I was using OS X Leopard & Firefox wouldn't update because the OS was out of date or something to that effect. I've upgraded to Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and Firefox still hasn't updated. And there are sites I can't access until Firefox is updated and some sites I can't access using Safari! So I have to go back & forth, not fun!!

    Hi Need2no
    1. Download a copy of the latest firefox from http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
    2. '''Trash''' the current Firefox application to do a clean install.
    3. Install the version that you have downloaded.
    Do not select to remove your personal data, your profile data is stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder], so you won't lose your bookmarks or other personal data.

  • WP8 Update of my app not visible in market

    hi,
    i submitted an updated for WP8 of my existing WP 7.x application "Week View" last week. It passed certification sucessfully but it does not show up in the marketplace.
    The WP8 Version of Week View has some WP8 specific features (like large live tile and voice commands).
    App Hub shows it as "published" (see screenshot below) but i cannot find it in the market.
    The even more strange thing: When i search for Week View on my WP7 phone i can find the WP7 Version with version number 2.3 for 1.99$.
    I submitted the WP8 version and set it's price to 1.99$ but it did NOT re-submit the WP7 version (which is priced 1.49$).
    When i search for Week View on my WP8 device i can not find the WP8 version. I can only find the WP7 version and it's price is shown as 1,49$.
    So on the WP8 device it looks like a new version of Week View has never been submitted.
    On my WP7 device it looks like the old, WP7 version was submitted again.
    In App Hub everything looks fine (see screenshot) but when serach for my app on my phone things are really strange and i cannot find the WP8 version.
    What can i do to get mit WP8 version of 'Week View' visible in the market?

    hi,
    thank you for your answer.
    Thats true - the WP7 Version of my app supports 9 languages (english, german, finish, .... chinese).
    The WP8 version currently only supports english and german.
    The reason is that the WP8 version also supports voice commands and it takes some time to do them in the other localizations.
    I fully understand that the users of a spanisch, finish, french, ... localization currently do not get the WP8 update but I use a german version of Week View and do not see the update although a german localization of the WP8 version is available.
    I also checked the US marketplace and the update is not visible there although the default language of the WP8 version is english.
    http://www.windowsphone.com/en-us/store/app/week-view/75848ed6-d550-4090-8e9b-50637f55faaf
    The ID of my app is: 75848ed6-d550-4090-8e9b-50637f55faaf
    Thanks for you help and i hope, we can fix this as soon as possible.
    I can also submit the WP8 version as a new app but i want that users of the WP7 version that bought a WP8 phone can upgrade for free, so i submitted the WP8 version as an update.
    Should i try to submit an update for the WP8 version?

    Have you tried a reset by pressing and holding the sleep/wake button and the home button for 20 seconds (maybe longer) until the Apple logo appears, ignore the red slider.  Then turn back on. You won't lose any data doing the reset.

  • My iPad 2 will not allow me to update my apps. When I hit the update button I get a spinning circle but then it times out and doesn't update. Please help.

    My iPad 2 will not allow me to update my apps. When I hit the update button I get a spinning circle but then it times out and doesn't update. In the past when I have updated successfully, the spinning circle would show me an indicator of time left on the update. I no longer have this Indicator. The circle just spins and times out and nothing happens. I've reset the iPad in the settings menu, reset the router, logged in and out of Apple id, powered ithe iPad off and on, and tried a couple other "fixes" that I've read online. So far no luck. AAny help would be greatly appreciated. Much thanks!

  • Subsequent to Yosemite or updates, my repeating calendar events can not be updated as before. When I update an event (of the repeating event) on my MacBook Pro; its reverts back when I shut it down and come back, and doesn't update other devices?

    Subsequent to Yosemite or updates, my repeating calendar events can not be updated as before. When I update an event (of a repeating event) on my MacBook Pro; its reverts back when I shut it down and come back, and doesn't update other devices?
    Has anyone experienced this and does anyone know a fix?

    This is incredibly frustrating for me too!
    I have a repeated monthly event for a discount at a store that is offered on the first Tuesday of every month. So I have a repeated event taking place on the 1st of every month. In the previous month I reset next month's date from the 1st to whatever date falls on the first Tuesday.
    But ever since upgrading to Yosemite, I am experiencing the same problem as the original person who posted. The date saves on my calendar but does not sync to my iCloud. When I reboot the computer, the date reverts back to the 1st.
    I'm thankful I don't have any events that needed to be tracked because ALL of my previous changes in the past have reverted back to the 1st of the month. I would have been in the same terrible situation as yaz999 in having to manually change every event in previous months.
    Why hasn't this bug been fixed yet???!!!
