Convert an indicator to a control

I'm pulling data out of Access and using an indicator to display it. I would like to change the data in the indicator and save it back to Access. My thought was to change the indicator to a display with a property node and re-save. Unfortunately this option does not exist in the property node. Any ideas greatly appreciated.

I don't understand why you need a control to do this. You can branch the wire leading to the indicator and wire it to whatever function you'll use to manipulate the data, and then wire that manipulated data to a function writing the data back to Access.
If you want to create a sub-vi to do the manipulation or write back to Access, you can copy the indicator to the new sub-vi, right-click on it in the sub-vi, and select Change to Control. You can then place a terminal for that control on the connector for the sub-vi so you can wire to it from the calling VI.

How to dinamically convert an indicator to control?

Hello all,
I need to write an application that:
1) Reads an array of strings from a file, and show it on a indicator (and this is correctly done)
2) Edit the array, as it was a control
3) Elaborate the strings (My array is a list of SPI commands, that are sent to an external device)
4) Optionally, save the modified array back to a file
How can this be done? It's not possible to think of a property node that converts the indicator to control, because the indicator is connected to a source of data, and the control should be connected to a destination... (an SPI driver in my case)
I somehow need an item with two connections, one entering and one exiting.
Thanks
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hello all,
and thanks for your replies!
I think I've adopted a solution similar to the one you suggested, obtaining this front panel (see "frontpanel1.jpg" attachment)
The frontpanel I'd like to obtain is the one depicted on "frontpanel2.jpg": one structure (control or indicator?) used both to edit and to view what I load from file.
Maybe the only solution is to overlap a control and an indicator, and to toggle the "visible" property...

Trafic light indicator in table control

Hi All
Is it possible to put trafic ligth indicator against each record in table control. I need to display green, red and orange indicator depending upon the status of the record.
Thanks
Ravindra Suvarna

I do this quite often. All you need to do is write it to the field.
type-pools: icon.
if condition.
write ICON_GREEN_LIGHT as ICON to itab-status.
endif.
Make sure that ITAB-STATUS is character field length 4.

How do I create an alarm indicator with boolean control?

I'm trying to create an alarm with a boolean indicator. I don't know how to hide the text when the condition is false.
I'd like to be able to have information that appears at a specific moment of my programme. For exemple, to a message that say that the programm is waiting a confirmation to continue running.
Thank you
Amelie

Have you tried under Functions->Time & Dialog->One Button Dialog? This is a wonderful way of pausing until a user presses a button.
If you wanted, you could use a textbox and just wire a string to it. Then clear it (or hide it using a property node) when done.
If you want to use a boolean indicator, there is a property (in the property node) called "Strings". This is a 1D array of strings for False, True, Transition True->False and Transition False->True. You can programmatically change the strings.

Converting video to Flash with controls

I want to take video from a DVD and turn it into a Flash
movie so I can use
it on a web page. I would like it to have the controls for
playing and
pausing. What would be the easiest way to do this? Is there
certain software
I should be looking for?
Thanks
Debbie

Certain software other than Flash? have you read the help
docs regarding the FLV (Flash Video)
format? There's an entire section of this site dedicated to
how to incorporate Flash video into your
website:
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/video.html
Also, go here:
http://www.adobe.com/designcenter/video_workshop/
select Flash and then narrow it down to FLV - there are
several video tutorials from Richard Galvan
to watch.
hope this helps.

How to use a control instead of indicator?

I have the program written and i'd like to change the indicators to control in order to be able to control the rate myself. Ofcourse it gives me bad wire when i do that. is there anyway i can do that with adding something so it wouldn't give me bad wire?

Hello,
As you are probably aware, the difference between controls and indicators is that a control corresponds to an input and an indicator corresponds to an output. It is not possible to wire an output to a control because a control does not have an input to be wired to.
If all you want to do is change an indicator to a control and then wire it to an input, you can simply right-click on the inidicator and select Change to Control. If you want to take advantage of Local Variables, you could right-click on the indicator and select Create >> Local Variable. Using a Local Variable, you could change it to Read, such that you could then have an pseudo-indicator that has an output that you can wire to an input.
If you want to control the rate, then you will
have to determine if this is a settable attribute, and then wire a control to the input.
I hope this helps.

Arrays as both Indicator and Control

Is there anyway I can use an array (either a constant array or an array control) as both an indicator and control. I need this to enter and replace numeric values in an array.

As the earlier post stated, try using the local variable to update a
control from the diagram. You probably shouldn't place it inside the
loop, but use a shift register. Thus, take the value from the terminal,
into the left shift register. Inside the loop, take the left shift
register value, modify, and write to the right shift register. Outside
the loop again, wire from the right shift register to the local.
If you do no
t want to allow for user modification of the array control
during this, you can disable and reenable the array using a property node.
If you are not really doing this for UI, but to try and reuse memory,
then this is really the wrong approach. LV wires are really the most
efficient way of dealing with data, and you don't need to worry about
putting things back into an array unless it is for the UI. If it is to
pass out of a subVI, you will put them into a new array indicator in
fact, and when called as a subVI, this can often take no additional
memory, using the caller's array input throughout the diagram. If you
start using the local, this is no longer true, and you now have both
memory and runtime overhead. So use locals, and property nodes, only
for UI tasks, and your VIs will be much more efficient. For everything
else, use wires and shift registers.

System message at CKM3 - Control if the ordered item absorbed the cost

I have created an exclusive free goods agreement and I would like the ordered item to absorb the cost of the free goods. In order to transfer the correct information to CO-PA from SD billing, I have made the required customizations ( 1- Deactivated pricing in the item category of the free item    2- Set the cumulate indicator in copying control for the billing item). Now I want to control the result with the TCode CKM3 but it gives ot the following error message. Can anybody explain me what I should do step by step?
Thanks in advance.
Diagnosis
     In valuation area 9999 data can only be converted for the material ledger if the material ledger is active.
System response
     No data was converted in valuation area 9999 for the material ledger.
Action for the system administrator
     If the material ledger should be active in valuation area 9999 and you wish to convert data, use the Product Cost Controlling section of Customizing to activate the material ledger for this valuation area.

Hi Yasar
From the above post i understand that you are getting an error about valuation. Hence i think that the valuation area assignment is improper.
Check that, that should solve your issue

Controlling area currency - urgent

Hi,
In a project we are using Controlling Area Currency as INR. As our group company is europe based they want us to change to EUR. We are also using PCA where currency is INR. I want to know the pros and cons of changing the same to EUR from INR.
Bye,
Ramesh

Hello
Check this if it could help you
When you create a controlling area, you specify whether the controlling area currency may differ from the company code currency, and which particular currency is to be the controlling area currency.
You can use the company code currency or the currency of a different organizational unit recorded as a parallel currency in the company code. You can also use a separate controlling area currency not dependent on the company code currency.
Cross-company code cost accounting can therefore be performed for company codes that use values recorded in different currencies. SAP recommends that you specify a consistent parallel currency for the company codes, and use this as the controlling area currency. In this case, postings in Controlling are made that are relevant for Accounting.
The following currencies are valid in Controlling:
· Controlling area currency
The system uses this currency for cost accounting. This currency is set up when you create the controlling area. It is based on the assignment control indicator and the currency type.
(see: Specifying Controlling Area Currency )
· Object currency
Each object in Controlling, such as cost center or internal order, may use a separate currency specified in its master data. When you create an object in CO, the SAP system defaults the currency of the company code to which the object is assigned as the object currency. You can specify a different object currency only if the controlling area currency is the same as the company code currency. There is an object currency for the sender as well as one for the receiver.
· Transaction currency
Documents in Controlling are posted in the transaction currency. The transaction currency can differ from the controlling area currency and the object currency. The system automatically converts the values to the controlling area currency at the exchange rate specified.
The system always translates actual data with the average rate (exchange rate type M).
You store the exchange rate type for each currency. You can specify a different exchange rate type for planning data in the version.
All three currencies are saved in the totals records and the line items. This enables you to use the different currencies for evaluations in the information system. This is only possible if you specified that all currencies should be updated for the given controlling area (see: Maintain Controlling Area).
The transaction currency is USD, the controlling area currency is EUR, and the object currency is SFR (Swiss francs). The system converts the amounts as follows:
1.) From transaction currency to controlling area currency (USD ® EUR)
2.) From controlling area currency to object currency (EUR ® SFR)
The following additional currencies may also appear as controlling area currencies in Controlling if you use cross-company code cost controlling:
Local Currency:
Company code currency (country currency) used for local ledgers in external accounting.
For each company code you can specify one or two parallel currencies (= second and third local currencies) which are stored in the documents and updated parallel to the local currency in the general ledger.
Group Currency:
Currency in which the group balance sheet is displayed.
You can specify it as a parallel currency (additional local currency) for a company code.
Hard Currency:
Secondary currency for countries with high inflation. You can specify it as a parallel currency (additional local currency) for a company code. You need to specify the hard currency in the detail screen for the corresponding country.
Index-Based Currency:
Country-specific, fictitious currency stipulated in certain countries with high inflation for tax returns. You can specify it as a parallel currency (additional local currency) for a company code. You need to specify the index-based currency in the detail screen for the corresponding country.
Global Company Currency:
Currency used in a corporate group. In the CO application component you can create companies to represent divisions, regions, or product groups.
You can specify it as a parallel currency (additional local currency) for a company code. You need to store the global company currency in the detail screen for the corresponding company.
For more information on defining parallel currencies, see Customizing under Financial Accounting ® FI Global Settings ® Company Code ® Parallel Currencies ® Defining additional local currencies.

Capturing javascript tab controls?

I'm working on archiving a website using Acrobat Pro 9.x. There are many pages in which the content is in tabs switched by javascript (toggling the CSS divs to hide or display). However, "Web Capture cannot convert javascript links ... ", so content not on the default tab is lost. Are there any workarounds for this? Even opening all the tabs simultaneously, as if the user has turned off javascript, would be fine.

How can I convert a wave file to a jpeg file (picture) is it possible???

Hello:
How can I convert a wave file to a jpeg file (picture) is it possible???

zuckini;
I am pretty sure you know, but just to be completely sure: a wave is (usually) sound signal and a jpeg file is an image.
If you mean how to display the wave signal in a graph and then save the graph as a jpeg file, then just drop a graph indicator in the control panel, wire the signal. Check any of the example shipped with LabVIEW on how to do this. To get the image, drop a graph indicator's invoke node in the block and select "Get Image". Check this page for detailed information.
If you have something else in mind, please reply to this message with additional information about the wave signal, the image, etc.
