Capture mouse event(s) on XYgraph plot legend

I notice that when I move the mouse over the plot name portion of the plot legend, the mouse icon changes. If I left-click in this portion, the entire plot name region is highlighted. What event(s) and/or properties do I use to capture this behavior. I would like to know the size and/or location of the plot name region highlighted. I'm using LV 2010. I know about the Legend.Size and Legend.Position properties.

Faustina:
Unfortunately, there isn't an event we can latch onto when the plot within the legend is clicked on. As a workaround, we can add a radio button control beside the legend to select various plots. The radio button indices match up to the plot indices, so we can still select the active plot and rename it.
I've attached a small example that allows the user to select a plot, and rename it from a menu of presets. You'll probably want to adapt it to run in a state machine or event structure, but the logic for changing plot names is there.

Capturing Mouse Events On MediaPlayer

Hi,
I have created a video conference application based on JMF. In this application I am using MediaPlayer control to play the rtp stream. Now I want to capture Mouse Events like MouseClick and MouseMove. But sorry to say that I am not getting any event on MediaPlayer control. I have tried this on other controls and successful. Can anybody tells me how to capture mouse events on MediaPlayer.

Mouse Events may only be capture INSIDE the java application frame. SO, if your desktop is not a java component, you will not be able to capture the events.
However, you could maybe use JNI to use native methods so as to get the location of the mouse...

Mouse events fires on invisible plot drawn in cwgraph

i have drawn a plot(which is invisible) on a cwgraph and set graph trackmode to cwgtrackallevents.Mouse events(plotmousedown/plotmouseup) are still fired for this invisible plot.

Hey Vishal,
What version of the cwgraph are you using? I tried the following program with CWGraph version 7.1 and I did not receive mouse events for the invisible plot.
CWGraph1.PlotY (y)
CWGraph1.Plots(1).Visible = False
CWGraph1.TrackMode = cwGTrackAllEvents
I also tried the PlotMouseMove event and I received this event if the plot was visible and didn't if it was invisible. This event was a lot easier to test. It's hard to click on an invisible plot. Did you see the same behavior with PlotMouseMove?
There are some known issues with invisible plots in earlier versions of Measurement Studio. Please see link below. If you are using an old version then I would assume this is the problem.

How to Generate Event on change in Plot Legend for XY Graph

Hi,
I have two XY graphs on the front panel and would like to maintain a common plot legend such that any change in the plot legend affects both graphs.
Objective: I would like any value change in plot legend to fire an event.
How do I program that?
I know of value change event for the graph but am unable to find something specific to the plot legend. Other option is to have the user press a "refresh" button that will fire the event.
Feel free to share thoughts on other elegant methods to achieve the same objective.
Thanks,
Gurdas

Hi Sarah,
Looks like you are talking of exactly what I want!
I have attached a sample VI to try achieve what I want. But it still has some issues which are:
1) I am unable to configure a Plot Attribute Change Event. I have used a mouse leave event instead. How does one configure a Plot Attribute Change Event?
2) Is there no single property which will transfer all the settings of plot legend from one graph to plot legend of another graph? In my sample VI, I have to read each property of the master graph and feed it into the slave graph.
Kindly note I am using LV FDS 7.1 on Win2000
Thanks,
Gurdas

HTML/JS: Capturing mouse events while Air is out of focus

Hi,
I've been trying to determine if it is possible to receive mouse events (like MOUSE_WHEEL) if the Air window does not currently have focus. I'd like my application to support the mouse wheel for scrolling while the cursor is over the application, without requiring the user to click the application and gain focus. My application uses JavaScript to scroll an unordered list within a DIV set to overflow:hidden (to prevent the native scrollbar from appearing).
Thanks for your help!
Andrew

I doubt that AIR would pick up events fired while not having focus. Perhaps you could fake it by creating an AIR project that runs "fullscreen", but has a smaller active window. Anywhere your mouse went it would still capture the scrolling event, but you could conditionalize it so that it only worked in certain areas.

Capturing mouse events from a loaded module.

I've defined a module and have it to were the mouse
coordinates (through mouse events) are updating bindable, public
variables in the module itself.
In the app parent app (that's loaded the module), i want to
display the coordinates from the loaded module as it moves around.
Like I said, I'm close, to where I capture and handle the
move event in the module itself, I just need to access that info
from the parent app, etc...
Any help is appreciated.

not that it matters now, but i figured it out.
thanks anyway...

               mp=MouseInfo.getPointerInfo().getLocation();
               System.out.println(mp.x+","+mp.y);

Capturing global mouse events ?

Is it possible to capture mouse event generated outside the application as well, as if the java app is running and the user opens a explorer and clicks at something, how can i capture that action ?

not with pure Java. JNI with native code

Mouse events triggered on touch

In a multi-touch application, looks like the mouse events are triggered also on touch, so there is no way to detect if it was a cursor mouse down or a touch screen touch begin. Is this the case?

How can I capture mouse click events on BSP or Web Dynpro ABAP Screen

hi Guys,
Currently we have a user inactivity problem,
the requirement is: if user is clicking on BSP/Web Dynpro ABAP screen, he/she is considered active. so we need an mechanism to capture the mouse click event.
Using Firebug, we found that this js is in the iframe which contains BSP/web dynpro scrren: /sap/public/bc/ur/nw5/js/languages/urMessageBundle_en.js
we want to find this js file & put in some javascript code to track user's mouse click, but i cannot find it on server.
while in ie if we type http://host:port/sap/public/bc/ur/nw5/js/languages/urMessageBundle_en.js
this file can be downloaded, means this file is there.
Any one can help on this issue? find the js file or another way to capture the mouse click event.
Thanks a lot with points!

Hi Feng Guo,
We can not capture mouse click events on Web Dynpro ABAP Screen . I am not sure about BSP. But as for as I know the portal keep active the iViews until unless mouse clicks happens.
But for your problem I think you can get solution by setting iView Expiration to some more time period.

Siva

Can I detect a plot name change event in a plot legend?

I'd like to update a configuration file if a user changes the name of a plot in the plot legend.
The events I see for plots are: value change, autoscale range change, plot attribute change, and scale range change.
Plot attribute change does not seem to include anything that looks like plot name, and the others obviously don't contain that info either.
Is there any way to grab this event?
Thanks.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Jordan,
First off, remember that there is no single way to code anything, so I can offer one possible solution for you, but it is definitely not the only one.
LabVIEW does not have a property to check if the name has been changed through an event structure, but you can create your own events that LabVIEW can read. I found this really good document that might help you. Read through this and mess around with it and see if it gets you anywhere: Creating User Events
Once you get it to trigger the proper case, then its just getting that case to update the file you would like.
Another possible workaround, although not ideal, is to create a string control and have that be on top of the plot name. You would be able to then produce an event from that string changing value.
Hope this helps.
