Calling functions in a component before the component UI is used?

I know this has been asked before, in fact I'm sure I've had this problem and resolved it in the past. However, I can't recall the solution off hand.
I have a component, which contains a publich function and data. The component has a UI which can be loaded by another function call. Loading the UI works fine, and after its been loaded (and close) calling the first function works fine. However, before hte UI has been loaded calling the function does nothing.
Any thoughts?

Load the UI earlier but set the visible and includeInLayout properties to the component to false.
Then in the function call that used to load the UI, just set those properties to true.
If this post answers your question or helps, please mark it as such.

How can I build an application that calls functions in a dll if the associated hardware is not present?

I am trying to build an application that use the "Call Library Function" node to call functions in a dll.
The dll was provided by a third-party and includes functions to drive an I2C communication board.
The problem I have is that the dll does not not properly because the hardware is not present.
Therefore when I load the VI a broken arrow is displayed and when I am not able to build the application.
I will not be running the application on the PC where I build the application, therefore I want to be able to build the application on a remote PC that has not all the hardware installed. Once the application will be build it will be installed on the target PC that has all the hardware.
How can I make the application builder to build the application event if the dll is not properly loaded? (the dll will be properly loaded on the target PC)
I want to do this on LabView 5.1.1, any ideas?

Some .dlls don't try to attach to the driver when loaded.
I've worked with both and unfortuately, I've not figured out a way around this problem.
You could possibly use the Conditional Disable structure around the dll calls so they would not be loaded unless you're in the runtime engine. But i've not tried this so I don't know for sure if it's possible.
Anyone??

Using the Abort button to stop your VI is like using a tree to stop your car. It works, but there may be consequences.

How do I find which photo iPhoto is telling me I have a problem with? I'm trying to buy a book I've formatted, but in place of the filename, it just calls it "(null)". All of the photos I'm using have names.

I'm trying to buy a book I've formatted, but in place of the filename, it just calls it "(null)".
All of the photos I'm using have names.

That same one others seem to have gotten: "Unable to Assemble Book -- There is a problem with the photo with the filename “(null).” The full resolution version of this photo either cannot be located or is corrupt. Please replace this photo or delete it from your book"
I've tried restarting iPhoto with the option and command keys pressed, and asking it to repair permissions, but still have the same message...

I have just upgraded to OS X Mavericks. It wanted me to upgrade my 20000 photos before the New iphoto could use them. I did. 43.6GB of photos became 1.8GB of very small photos of arounf 178KB instead of 2.5MB. Can't do anything with them. Help?

The obvious and simple solution is to restore from the back up you made before upgrading.
Other than that you'll need to give us a lot more detail. Mavericks doesn't ask you to upgrade your Photos, upgrading to a later iPhoto asks you about upgrading the Library. Where is the library? What version were you upgrading from? Anything else you can tell us that might help understand the problem you're having.

Call Function From MXML Component

I am using MXML to create components that I use within my
application. I have one MXML file that contains a list with a
custom itemRenderer that is in another MXML file. I have an
actionscript file with a function that I want to call from the
itemRenderer.
If I call the function from my main application, everything
works fine. If I try to call it from one of the other MXML files, I
get a 1180 Call to a possibly undefined function error.
Is there a special way that I need to use to call the
function?
The main MXML file is in the root directory, the actionscript
file is in a folder called functions, and the MXML files are in a
folder called components.
Thank you for any help.

I was able to figure out my problem. It was just a simple
typo of including the wrong file in a Script tag. However, this
caused more issues and I ended up having to rewrite a large section
of code to get everything working.
Thank you for your help.

Call function which only exists in the target system

Hello,
I have to call the function module BAPI_QUOTATION_CREATEFROMDATA2 from a BI system. Of course, the function module does not exist in the BI system. My problem is now how to create the necessary parameter types for the function call?
I found out that the function module RFC_GET_STRUCTURE_DEFINITION returns me the complete definition for the necessary types but how can I transform this information into a field-symbol or something similar?
Or is there perhaps a different solution which is easier to implement?
regards
Thomas

Hi
I think so, but I believe you don't need all structure, so you could define only structure you need in your program, it's probably faster than to manage dynamically many structure.
Anyway you can create your structure at runtime by field-symbols, there are many post about this argoment.
This is the last:

Call function from pl/sql when the name of funcion is in variable

Hi,
is it possible to do the following:
I want to call (excute) a function within a pl/sql block, but the problem is that the name of the called function is stored in variable (is got as a parameter to mine pl/sql block).
let's imagine:
DECLARE
name_of_function varchar2(10);
result number;
BEGIN
result := ???name_of_function????;
END;
thanks for any suggestion,
valer

thanks for answer this exactly what i need.
as i learned EXECUTE IMMEDIATELY does invoke pl/sql block dynamicaly.
I tried it for invoking procedure. it woked fine. But not for function.
So, does it work also for invoking FUNCTIONS ?

Tried to call applecare about my phone before the press conference today

My phone is having a lot of probably with the proximity sensor. Is there a fix? I am on a call and I can see the screen is still ON,even though the phone is pressed agaisnt my ear.
I called applecare about this BEFORE the press conference today, just in case they choose not to assist users without previous reference numbers. I hope they don't do that.

"just in case they choose not to assist users without previous reference numbers. I hope they don't do that."
Of course they won't do that.

Call function in itemRenderer component?

I'm doing this exercise to help me with learning flex and
have been using parts of
Example:
modifying data in DataGrid control from Live Docs.
I want to be able to alter the appearance of specific
DataGrid cells whose data has changed and am struggling a lot with
it.
The code is much the same as that example, but I have created
a component as an itemRenderer for the first name column, linked as
follows;
<mx:DataGridColumn headerText="Some Title"
itemRenderer="cpnts.irender"/>
The code for this component is;
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:HBox xmlns:mx="
http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml">
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
public function testFn():void{
this.setStyle('backgroundColor','#BBBBCC')
]]>
</mx:Script>
<mx:Label text="{data.first}"/>
</mx:HBox>
in any hard coded form for now, how could I call the testFn()
function in the first cell in the table, from the Application?
What I'm working towards is a DataGrid used with data which
changes live, each data cell would go green or red depending on if
the value increased or decreased for example.
Thanks in advance, please also let me know if this is wrong
approach for doing this. Should I maybe be handling and comparing
changed data in my ArrayCollection and setting other properties
accordingly? eg: @change[none|higher|lower] then re-populating the
DataGrid and setting display properties for each cell according to
that value?
Thanks again, (I hope I'm making sense by the way, I'm a bit
low on sleep!)

Override the data setter.
override public function set data(value:Object):void
if(value != null)
this.setStyle("backgroundColor","#BBBBCC");
super.data = value;
}

Call function outside of component?

Hi,
How can I call a public function that lives outside a
component?
I have a "Main.mxml" file that is set as my default
application. In this file I have a public function called
"switchView(). I also have another mxml file called "LoginView". I
want to call the public function in Main.mxml from LoginView.mxml.
Does that make sense? There are certain functions I want to be
available across the board to multiple components. I prefer this
method if possible.
Any help appreciated

you can make it static if possible and do a
Main.switchView(); otherwise, Application.application.switchView()
Please note this is just off the top of my head! I might be
wrong here.
A better would be to raise an event and let your main default
application handle this event and do whatever is required instead
of making them dependent on each other.

ITunes doesn't launch before the last automatic update using the OS X.

The software error box requests to mark the 32 bit mode on its information window, but that option doesn't exists... So, what's up? How to fix it and how to allow the OS to never have this kind of mistake anymore??? (becouse it reminds me the win-bugs)

I have the same problem, and it wasn't solved by re-installing Mavericks. After a reboot, the first time I try to start iTunes it takes a long time starting up, but then shuts down without ever showing a window. After that, it immediately shuts down upon launch. I'm running iTunes 11.1.3. I tried re-installing iTunes only, and tried re-installing Mavericks, but to no avail.
Anybody any ideas?

Before the latest update, while using Windows 7, I could click on the Firefox taskbar icon(at thebottom)and I'd get a new Firefox window regardless of how many I previously had open. Now, it doesn't do that. can anyone help?

Ever since the latest update, when I click on the firefox icon in my taskbar, I don't get a new browsing window when I used to be able to do so.
I've checked the tabs menu in the options, and I don't see a way of enabling this feature.
Can anyone help?

How I can call controller's functions from another component?

Hi again!
I make a few web Dynpro components, for example first for user-data processing, second - for project-data processing. In the controller of 1-st controller there is a function getUserById(). In the controller of 2-nd component I need such function. And I don't want to make a dublicate for this function in the controller of 2-nd component. Is there a way to call function in one component from another?

Hi,
     Yes, you can reuse the component. There are two basic types of component communication. 1. Intra Component communication 2.Inter Component communication.
1. Intra Component communication: The two components must be in same DC(project).
Procedure:Say there are C1,C2 components in a DC.
Open C2, Open interface controller, create a similar (_parameters and return type_) method to the method C2. Call C2's method in this Interface method.
Open C1, select and right click Used Web Dynpro Components -> Add Used Component. In the wizard, you can browse and select the C2 component,and enter a name to the usage. Then the usage of the interface <b>must </b>be added in properties required controllers of a view/component controller.
Now we can use the method that is available in the C1 interface controller.
You must define method before declaring usage
<b>2.Inter Component communication:</b> The two components are in different DCs
Open DC metadata of C2. Right click on Public part-> create new Public Part.Enter name-> Next -> Select entity type as Web Dynpro Component in wizard,in Select Entities select the component ,Finish.
A structure for public part is created.
Open C1, Open DC metadata of C1. Right click on Used Dcs-> AddUsed DC. Browse to C2's public part.
Select Finish.

Siva
