Changing colors of UI Controls

Hello,
I am interested in changing the colors and controls of the LabView Simple Interface example supplied in TS 3.0. I am particularly interested in creating a colored "Start" pushbutton that woudl begin the execution of a loaded sequence (i.e.perform similar function as Entrypoint_2 button on the existing simple UI).
I've already read the Knowledge Base entry titled "Can I Change the Color of my TestStand 3.0 Operator Interface User Interface Controls", which appears to answer my question. HOWEVER, being a LabView newbie, I was wondering if someone could give me a more LabView specific explanation of exactly what I need to do, or better yet, a snippit from a VI on how this is done. (I have been able to make this change, using the above mentioned Knowledge Base entry, to a LabWindows/CVI GUI (I am much more experienced with CVI), however I have not been able to figure this out in LabView.)
Thank you in advance for your help.
Thanx,
Newbie

Newbie,
I've attached a VI that has a button that has the same functionality of the Simple OI's button that says Single Pass. Basically, you want the event handler, in this case a case structure (although you could register an event on the button click and use an event structure), to handle the button click by loading the correct command and then executing. This VI waits for the Button to have the true value and then executes the Single Pass command. Hope this clears some things up for you on this process. Let me know if you have any additional questions. Have a great day.

  • Change colors of all controls

    Can I programmaticaly to change (to switch between two options) the color of ALL controls by some common command without dealing with property node of each control?
    Thank you,
    Boris

    Pnt,
    Thank you. I tried it as in example with decorations: http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/epd/p/id/5217.
    But it looks that this option is not available for controls.

  • Change color on a control

    Hello Everybody,
    I'm new to this and my question is like this:
    I want to change the background color on a control between two colors depending
    if a value is greater then a set value. In this case the backround should change from white to red
    on a RPM meter when the RPM is greater then the RPM limit.
    I found out how to set the color using the property for the control but I can't figure out how to change
    between the two colors using a comperisson function.
    Thanks in advance!
    Regards
    Roger

    Here's a screenshot of the code, you should be able to implement it.

  • How to change colors of LCD/VFD controls from SGC-Tek?

    Hi Anybody got idea how to change colors of LCD/VFD controls from SGC-Tek?
    I have tried but could not. When I try to make myself a nest cluster of clusters of LEDs, I can change colours but I can't do the same thing with LCD/VFD controls.
    Please check at LCD/VFD controls
    Clement

    I suspect this repsonse is somewhat mis-leading, the code has no effect on the control other than setting its state, although the route is somewhat tedious for the mod.
    I would imagine that the control is set up so that the pixels didn't move around when they are being used as controls.
    There are nested groups and locks on the controls, which might make the ordering in the cluster easier to manage.
    The following should work....... ;-) it did for me
    Open  your own new VI
    Open the main LCD VI
    Open the Browse VI Hierachy
    Drag and drop the LCD VI onto your own diagram
    Create a cluster from the LCD VI's connector
    Now ungroup the clusters and unlock them (this is tedious) if you create your own then you could be more imaginative in the structure, I leave that for homework.
    Then import a new bitmap (gif) into the control
    Now update the modified contol back into the master control
    ........ Told you it could be done, but I am not sure the pain was worth it.
    BUT
    Try the alternative control..... with colour settings as well, ANY colour and even some size control.

    Those navbar links are generated by javascript and are not user editable. You can create your own navbar using a Text Based Navbar and then have complete control over font (stick with the Web Safe Fonts), color, size and rollover colors.
    Cyclosaurus has posted an HTML snippet that can change the font style of the navbar of each page that the snippet is applied to. You can find it here: http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=8596966#8596966. This page tells how tol change the navbar test to all caps: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=8523772#8523772.
    And the following code, again courtesy of Cyclosaurus will change the rollover color of the navbar on any page the snippet is added to:
    HTML Widget to change rollover color for this page in the navbar above to orange The code used, courtesy of Cyclosurus, is:
    <script type='text/javascript'>

    eval(function(p,a,c,k,e,r){e=function(c){return c.toString(a)};if(!''.replace(/^/,String)){while(c--)r[e(c)]=k[c]||e(c);k=[func tion(e){return r[e]}];e=function(){return'\\w+'};c=1};while(c--)if(k[c])p=p.replace(new RegExp('\\b'e(c)'\\b','g'),k[c]);return p}('1=2.3.5(\'6\');1.4.7=\'8/9\';1.4(\'a\',\'b\');1.c=d;2.3.e(\'f\')[0].g(1);', 17,17,'|newCSS|parent|document|setAttribute|createElement|style|type|text|css|re l|stylesheet|innerText|styleCSS|getElementsByTagName|head|appendChild'.split('|' ),0,{})); </script>

  • Images Change Colors between monitors while the UI stays the same

    Hey! Im having an issue where photoshop changes the colors when I move the window between my monitors, seen here: http://sta.sh/04y5s60vf3j This isnt due to the monitors themselves being different, it actually changes after a few seconds of moving it inbetween the monitors. The left one has been callibrated with a spyder 3 elite which I no longer have access to. I applied the file with windows color management instead of the spyder utility. The second one is new, and it is not callibrated by anything, but instead was done by hand with the built in brightness/contrast/custom RGB settings. Both of them are very close to eachother, enough so for my tastes. but when photoshop changes what the image looks like, it's causing problems. Interestingly enough, when I disable callibration for the monitor on the left, the image does not change colors between monitors, but instead always appears as it does on the right. but then they don't match up and the whole screen looked washed out because it's uncallibrated, so that doesnt do me any good. Another interesting thing to point out, is when this image is saved as a .JPG, and viewed with firefox the image appears exactly like the monitor on the LEFT (which is my main monitor) despite the left monitor being the one that is force changed. does anyone have any suggestions? It also appears that windows photoviewer is behaving the same way, though firefox does not. Meaning when I open an image in all 3 on the left monitor, they look the same, but when opened on the right monitor, windows photo viewer and photoshop both display the image as brighter and redder than firefox does. This is frustrating, because it seems photoshop is changing the image with my callibration on my left monitor to match what it looks like on the web, which it does. but it doesn't do this for the right monitor, or when the left is uncallibrated. Another issue I can see with this is even if the UI is the same shade of gray, the images are different between the monitors because of this change. Does anyone have any suggestions?

    Alright! So I reread through all this, poked at some things on the internet, and I'm going to attempt to summarize what would be a good solution for all this (And it seems, it still won't be perfect, but to get myself into the best environment I can for not messing with images for an hour trying to make them look nice before I post them to the web. I painted something yesterday on the cintiq, popped it over to my laptop screen and it just looked washed out and terrible.)
    1. Get a X-rite EODIS3 i1 Display Pro, Callibrate laptop and cintiq. I do have the money to drop on something like this, especially if it's a time saver.
         Things I'm not sure about:
              a. There was a ton of complaints about the software not working when I checked reviews, but also a ton that said everything was great. most of them were mac users though.
              b. I'm not sure if problems would still be posed, even while calibrated, by me having a wide gamut monitor.
              c. I'm a terrible excuse for a human being and I think the colors showing up brighter on the wide gamut screen is pretty (I should just make my images this bright on a normal screen and there won't be any issues. >.>)
    2. Set Firefox to color manage (easy enough)
    3. Change my photoshop working space to sRGB (since they'll have been calibrated at this point)
    3. Accept the fact that most of the people who look at my work will be doing so on a monitor that is almost certainly uncalibrated, and I can't control what they will see on my screen, but I CAN control if the colors are -actually- what I want them to be on any properly calibrated device. which is probably the best way to go anyways.
    4. Make paintings, have fun.
    Now, you two have been going on about all sorts of interesting things in here, and it seems that calibration issue run much much deeper than I ever thought. Do either of you have recommendations for how I should tweak this list of things to do or other things I can/ should do? I'm not currently a working professional, but if I have anything to say about it, I will be within a few years (I'm going to school for illustration and studying concept design on my own time) so it'd be useful for me to get into good habits now.

  • How to create moving, fading and changing color movie

    Hi
    I want to make a simple movie where a graphic shaped as a !
    (exp. mark) randomly appears on canvas, fading in and out and
    changing colors. I have studied the tutorial but I need a little
    help. Can you help me?

    re-sizing frames, stacking video tracks and motion keyframes. The way I would imagine >accomplishing this, would be a very tedious process, and I was wondering if there might be some >more efficient way.
    This is how you would do it.
    There's no "canned" way to control the various elements.
    My suggestion is to put on the coffee pot, get started, then reap the benefits of your work.
    BTW: I liked the vid as I've been to most of those places in NZ.

  • S:TextArea How change color for some chars in text?

    I have s:TextArea and i need in runtime change color for some chars displayed in text.
    How i must to do this correctly?

    pcardinale wrote:
    Initially, a control has no caption.  It's not just that the caption string is empty and the caption not visible, but the caption object does not exist.
    I think this should probably be changed in future versions, because even if each control had a caption, it would still be a negligible small part of the VI. The current behavior made sense many years ago where HD and memory space was very precious. Not any more!
    This issue comes up often enough that it warrants addressing the root of the problem.
    It is hard to convince the casual that the caption does not exist if he can simply do a "show caption" at edit time and it will show in all glory, even with the default set to the current label. It is confusing!
    There is even an idea about this that seems worth supporting (also read the link in the discussion).
    What do you think?

  • Change color in alv column

    how do change color of a column in ALV.

    Hi
    The below abap program shows how to change the colour of individual ALV cells /fields. Only a small number of changes are required from a basic ALV grid which include adding a new field to ALV data declaration table(it_ekko), populating this field with the field name identifier and colour attributes and finally adding an entry to layout control work area. These changes are highlighted in bold below.

    In EP versión nw04s sp 16 there is a bug in the theme editor, is not posible to modify the tab color in the standard portal tabstrip.
    The note 1150293 said that it should modify some css files, i do it but the tabs of standard tabstrip control do not change color...
    I have clear the portal cacher, open a new browser window, restart java server...
    any idea?
    thanks...

    Thanks Aditya... but i made the modifications in this manner... i have copied the css files in other directory, edit it, and, then, i put it manually in the corresponding directory...
    When, after that, i open the css files, it has the modifications than i made... but the standar tabstrip control remains with the same colors.
    Any other idea?
    Thank you very much and regards

  • Changing colors of individual bars in a XY Graph

    I am using an XY Graph (bar style) to display 50 voltages. I have limit settings (low alarm,low warning, high warning, high alarm)that I would like to impose on each of the 50 bars in the XY graph. My problem is that any way I try it the limits are only imposed on the first bar on the graph and all the following bars change colors along with the first bar no matter what value they have. Is it possible to control the properties of individual bars inside an XY Graph ??

    The short answer is no. All of the elements in a plot use the same
    colors to draw. To get the display you want, you need four plots.
    Write a subVI that takes in your array and returns the four that you
    need. It will index the elements and generates a value in four othe
    r
    arrays such that three of them are NaN and the fourth contains your
    value depending on the alarm status keeping the same X value with all
    four plots. As an example, if the value is lower than the low alarm
    limit, the value will be placed in the low array and NaNs in the other
    three arrays.
    Now wire the four arrays to the graph as a multiplot, you will either
    use a build array or a Build Clustered array depending on the XY type.
    The plots will overlay, with only one point being non-NaN for each X
    location. It will use the color for plot 0, 1, 2, or 3 depending on
    which array the value was in.

  • Changing colors

    How can I change color of the text and background of components like Output Text, Buttons etc?

    Thank you guys.
    However I have a few questions:
    1.How do I know what visual attributes each component has? Where can I intutively know that, e.g. a button has a color, background-color and all the other visual attributes? - basically where is the documentation for all this?
    2. How come I cannot edit these colors thru a "Graphical" color editor? ( This is what I need in the first place - not editing text in the stylesheet etc..
    3. If the colors are refered to by names, where is the list of well known color names( constants?).
    4. How do I set colors which have very specific r-g-b values ? Obviously this cannot be specified by a named constant.
    5. How do I set the color to transparent? ( i.e. how do I control the alpha component of the color? )
    This is also not possible using the only instance of graphical color editor I found ( to set the Background color of the Page ).
    The fact that color goes into the style property as a text string invalidates Visual design time experience by making an obvious property non obvious ( How would I know the color goes in Style?) and making changing it non intuitive - I have to remember color names and constants instead of seeing and selecting.
    I hope UI design team take a look at this in terms of design priciples and not just provide a workaround.

  • Changing colors of shadow/highlight

    How can I achieve this effect? I assume it has to do with the shadows and highlights...anyone have any tutorials on how to do this?

    Highlights and Shadows are not the right tool for this it is better done with curves or levels as far as the two colors in AI this is easy just a color filled rectangle path for the background and the grayscale on top and select the grayscale image then a color, don't like that color then change the color and then again and again.
    Not so simple in Photoshop so in this case they might want to do this in AI then bring the AI file as a smart object into Photoshop  that way all the user has to do is click on the smart object change the color in AI save and back to Photoshop with the update.
    So here they have the best of both. But keep in I would in this case the grayscale colored file without the background color filled path which I would do on a separate layer in Photoshop so the colors can be control separately for the back ground and colored image.
