Can't see LabVIEW Colour Picker (Evaluation 2014 for Mac)

Hi all,
I am new to LabVIEW, and am trying to make a chart I made appear transparent.  According to http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW/Using-LabView-s-Color-Picker/m-p/575619/highlight/true#M269839, the colour picker is available as one of the numeric controls, however I can't see it in there, nor by shift and right mouse click, nor within the tools menu.  I have attached a screenshot of what I see.  Is anyone able to help me please?
Solved!

"Context-clicking" is the generic, non-platform-specific term used to describe how to get a contextual menu to pop up on a node. On Windows this is commonly called right-clicking. On the Mac it can be accomplished by control-click. I am not sure what Linux uses.
After you have run the VI the color box control is no longer visible. From the block diagram context-click on the terminal. In the menu which pops up choose "Show Control" which will be about 1/3 down the menu. This will bring the front panel forward with the color box control positon (probably behind the chart) shown by dashed lines. If you cannot move it by clicking on it with the arrow cursor, then use the keyboard arrow keys to slide it out from behind the chart. Once is is exposed on the front panel, context click on the control and choose "Allow Transparent" from the pop-up menu (near the bottom of the list). Then the next time you run the VI the "T" box in the upper right corner of the color picker box should be available.
The Pop-Up_Color_Dialog.vi was written to be a simple demonstration of how to get access to the color picker. If you want to make is usable as a subVI, you need to associate the indicators or controls on the front panel with terminals on the connector pane. You do that by clicking on the conpane with the wiring tool cursor and then clicking on the control/indicator you want connected to that terminal. You will also need to find a way to stop that subVI. As long-time Forum particpant Ed Pickens has said, "Using the Abort button to stop a running VI is like using a tree to stop a car. It works but may have undesired consequences." I am not sure how you want to use that subVI (or whether you even really want a subVI), so I cannot tell you what changes to make.
That subVI has a chart but it appears that you probably want a graph.  You might be better learning how the subVI works and applying the process to the graphs you already have.

    I am building a form for customers to complete. I want them to be able to click on a pull down menu and select the day of the month 1-31. The drop down form field only allows 25 entries. How can I get 31 entries? I'm on a Macbook Pro running Mountain Lion.

  • I can't see the coloured balls on google search even though my safe search is showing locked on in settings

    My google settings are showing that safe search is locked on, but I can't see the coloured balls on google homepage. Do they not show up on iPad?

    Thanks, I read several other threads and all it took was to turn off the router and turn it back on again, 'simples'.

    When I drag the item off of the trifold that I am creating, it just disappears but I still want to use it.  I just need to move it out of the way to modify other portions of the document.

  • ICloud + Apple mail; can I see content in mail folders on my mac?

    Question for those who know iCloud.
    If I am using iCloud + Apple mail; can I see content in mail folders on my mac?
    Have 2 email accounts currently (yahoo and gmail), and use smart rules to move my email to them for organization automatically, issue is then I cannot see them on my iPhone mail, they are there, then "gone" when moved to the iMac folder.
    https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-MltXmqSQAXI/UkjrwPwtQmI/AAAAAAAAQk8/qwuOU7FFj dI/s720/iMac%2520mail.jpg

    I don't see any evidence of an iCloud account there - do you actually have an @icloud.com address? iCloud syncs only its own email, it has no relationship to any other service.
    However, if both your Mac and your iPhone are receiving, for example, Gmail, and you move a message on your Mac from the Gmail mailbos to a mailbox in the list under 'On My Mac' then this removes it from the GMail mailbox and as it's only on the Mac the iPhone cannot see it. In order to do what you want you have to create any new mailboxes on the GMail account itself and move the messages there.

  • Conflict with Kaspersky Internet Security 2014 for MAC

    I installed Kaspersky Internet Security 2014 for MAC.
    Its Web anti-virus function does not work well. After enable for a while, it blocks all internet connection.
    I tried many ways, included
    - putting Safari, Itune, ...into KIS's Trust Zone application
    - set Pravacy for KIS control OS X
    but it seems no effect.
    Is there someone getting the same issue with me?
    Any solution?
    Thanks.

    Despite repeated attempts I was unable to install Kaspersky's latest software on a new copy of Mavericks shortly after its release.
    Its installer failed:
    Kaspersky's product may have been updated in the last couple of weeks, but given that developers have had many months to prepare for Mavericks, it calls their competence into question. It's your Mac, install what you want, but the number of problems reported on this site that are directly attributable to using such junk exceed those caused by actual malware by orders of magnitude.
    Protect yourself by observing these few basic principles, not by delegating that responsibility to Kaspersky or anything like it:
    Never install any product that claims to "speed up", "clean up", "optimize", or "accelerate" your Mac. Without exception, they will do the opposite.
    Never install pirated or "cracked" software, software obtained from dubious websites, or other questionable sources. Illegally obtained software is almost certain to contain malware.
    Don’t supply your password in response to a popup window requesting it, unless you know what it is and the reason your credentials are required.
    Don’t open email attachments from email addresses that you do not recognize, or click links contained in an email:
    Most of these are scams that direct you to fraudulent sites that attempt to convince you to disclose personal information.
    Such "phishing" attempts are the 21st century equivalent of a social exploit that has existed since the dawn of civilization. Don’t fall for it.
    Apple will never ask you to reveal personal information in an email. If you receive an unexpected email from Apple saying your account will be closed unless you take immediate action, just ignore it. If your iTunes or App Store account becomes disabled for valid reasons, you will know when you try to buy something or log in to this support site, and are unable to.
    Don’t install browser extensions unless you understand their purpose. Go to the Safari menu > Preferences > Extensions. If you see any extensions that you do not recognize or understand, simply click the Uninstall button and they will be gone.
    Don’t install Java unless you are certain that you need it:
    Java, a non-Apple product, is a potential vector for malware. If you are required to use Java, be mindful of that possibility.
    Disable Java in Safari > Preferences > Security.
    Despite its name JavaScript is unrelated to Java. No malware can infect your Mac through JavaScript. It’s OK to leave it enabled.
    Block browser popups: Safari menu > Preferences > Security > and check "Block popup windows":
    Popup windows are useful and required for some websites, but popups have devolved to become a common means to deliver targeted advertising that you probably do not want.
    Popups themselves cannot infect your Mac, but many contain resource-hungry code that will slow down Internet browsing.
    If you ever see a popup indicating it detected registry errors, that your Mac is infected with some ick, or that you won some prize, it is 100% fraudulent. Ignore it.
    Ignore hyperventilating popular media outlets that thrive by promoting fear and discord with entertainment products arrogantly presented as "news". Learn what real threats actually exist and how to arm yourself against them:
    The most serious threat to your data security is phishing. To date, most of these attempts have been pathetic and are easily recognized, but that is likely to change in the future as criminals become more clever.
    OS X viruses do not exist, but intentionally malicious or poorly written code, created by either nefarious or inept individuals, is nothing new.
    Never install something without first knowing what it is, what it does, how it works, and how to get rid of it when you don’t want it any more.
    If you elect to use "anti-virus" software, familiarize yourself with its limitations and potential to cause adverse effects, and apply the principle immediately preceding this one.
    Most such utilities will only slow down and destabilize your Mac while they look for viruses that do not exist, conveying no benefit whatsoever - other than to make you "feel good" about security, when you should actually be exercising sound judgment, derived from accurate knowledge, based on verifiable facts.
    Do install updates from Apple as they become available. No one knows more about Macs and how to protect them than the company that builds them.
    Summary: Use common sense and caution when you use your Mac, just like you would in any social context. There is no product, utility, or magic talisman that can protect you from all the evils of mankind.

  • Where can I download Run-time engine 6.1 for Mac OS

    When trying to run an executable I receive a message "Could not load LabView Runtime Shared Library: err = -2804, "Labview 6.1 Runtime". I did not see Run-time engine 6.1 for Mac OS 9 available for download. I only saw version 6.0.2. Does anyone know where I can download version 6.1??

    Hi majo008,
    If you click on the 'Drivers and Updates' under 'Option 3' on the Technical Support page (www.ni.com/support), you can select 'All Software Versions' and choose 'LabVIEW >> Run-Time Engine'. This page will then have a link to the LabVIEW 6.1 Runtime Engine for Mac OS.

  • How can I create a new folder in Word for Mac ?

    How can I create a new folder in Word for Mac?

    You don't do this in Word. You do it in the OS X Finder.
    All you need do in Word is open the file, then select Save As from Word's File menu. Change the destination to your new folder then click on the Save button.
    The Finder method is much faster if you have a number of files you want to move. Just remember that to open those moved files in Word, you will have to change the directory from which you will open those files.
