Current swatch in control palette

I think it would be nice to have the active swatch displayed in the control palette, just like the other information about whatever object is selected. Unless I am mistaken, the only way (in CS4) to see the color of a selected object, or of the selected type, is to open the swatches or color palette.

Good point. What would be more helpful to me, though, would be more detailed information than that. I can't tell the exact percentage tint of a swatch from the toolbox. It is only in the swatches and color palettes as far as I know.

Can't find image display in the IMAQ Vision control palette

Hi
I am trying to display an image on the front panel. But i cannot find the image display vi .. according to the manual, it is available from the IMAQ Vision control palette. I have the academic version of LabVIEW 7 express. Does my version have the vi? Thank you
rsa..

Hello,
The IMAQ Display control is a part of the NI-IMAQ driver. This driver is free of charge and can be downloaded from our website by going to www.ni.com/download. Here is a URL directly to the current version of IMAQ: "http://digital.ni.com/softlib.nsf/websearch/CD7EAFE90E9E47398625703000754A12?opendocument&node=132060_US". If you plan on using that control, I would recommend just installing the driver for it on whatever computer you want to use it on.

Is it possible to open, move and hide the Controls Palette programaticaly?

I'm currently creating a tools to create and edit VI. And I would like to bring the tool palette programaticaly.
regards,
Nitrof

Nitrof,
The attached example program uses ActiveX to access the menus in LabVIEW and execute the menu selection based on keys sent to the program. Because this example program uses ActiveX it is only applicable on Windows Operating Systems. To access a menu in LabVIEW this program uses the SendKeys function and an ActiveX container with property nodes to execute the shortcut commands for menus programmatically.
The Show Tools Palette menu item has "P" key associated with it ("P" is the underlined letter in the name). So, to open the tools palette programmatically, you would specify "SendKeys %wp" in the keys string in the attached VI.
The Show Controls Palette item has no keys associated by default, so you would have to edit the run-time menu to assign
this item a key. Use the Set Menu Item Info function (under Application Control>>Menu palette) to set the shortcut key for the Show Controls Palette item. Refer to the LabVIEW Help for more info on this function.

Unexpected behavior with data control palette after migration to 10.1.3

I recently migrated my adf/struts app to 10.1.3 from 10.1.2.
The app compiles and runs fine in jdev, and the migration had no errors.
When I try to drag and drop attributes from the data control palette onto an existing (or new) page I get the you cant drop that here icon circle with a line through it.
This happens on all my pages and for every attribute in the data control including actions.
Is this the intended behavior? In 10.1.2 there was a section that asked if it should be dropped as a label or text field etc, I dont see that option anymore.
I can still use the component palette  JSTL 1.0 core out and drag that onto the page and then bind the value to binding.attname. this works fine.
In 10.1.3 faces I see that when I drag and drop I get a popup menu which shows the available type of component to drop the item as.
Is this the correct behavior or am I missing something?
I'm using jdev version 10.1.3.0.4 (SU2)
Thanks

So as far as I can tell the issue bioled down to having something wrong with my libraries definition. When would go to the project properties the libraries tab would not show correctly, I was able to remove some libraries and then add them back in. This made the libraries tab in the project properties work, and as a side effect fixed the data control drag and drop.
thx

Where is controls palette search button in 8.20?

This is embarrassing! I rely heavily on the control and function palette search buttons. I updated to 8.20 and my control palette search button disappeared. The function palette search button is in its normal place. I've looked through Help and the Options popup but don't see a way to enable/disable the search button. I need it back!

The search button should be right there so something is wrong....
Try to repair the labview installation.
Also check your LabVIEW.ini file for weird entries.

10.1.3.1.0 : Nested View Object sould not appear in Data Control Palette

Hello,
I have a strange behavior in JDeveloper 10.1.3.1.0.
I have two View Objects, a parent and a child, that are linked by a View Link.
Although my Application Module instanciates only the parent View Object, I can still see the child View Object in the Data Control Palette.
I've checked in JDev 10.1.3 SU5 and this behavior doesn't occur.
Is this a bug ?
Thanks,
Seb.

Hi,
I tried to reproduce but cannot. I created a m/d ViewObject that are linked by a ViewLink. I removed the detail from the master tree in the AppModule configuration so that only the master instance is left. Opening the DataControl palette, I only see the master view.
Is the project one that you upgraded from 10.1.3.0? If yes, please try and reproduce in a new workspace

ADF - New columns in DB table need to be reflected in Data Control Palette

I am new to ADF. I am editing a JSF that does add and edit to data in database table. I added new columns to the table and need to modify the JSF accordingly.
I have not been able to find info on how to take a new "snapshot" of the database table that will reflect my new columns in the DataBindings.cpx.
Can someone steer me in the right direction?
Thanks,
Chris

Chris,
if your business service is ADF BC, then synchronize the EO with the database for it to pick up the changes. Once this is done, go to the VO and add the two new attributes. Right after that the data control palette will show the new entries.
If you use EJB as a business service layer, change the entity classto expose the two attributes, re-generate the session facade ad then re-generate the data control.

How to create new control palette?

i want to create a new control palette,how to do it?

When in labview bring up the control pallete and tack it down. Next hit the button beside the search key at the top. Then hit edit palletes. You can then start a new setup if you'd like.

Anything dragged from data control palette squeezes text out of jsp page

Hi,
I am using JDeveloper 10.1.3.4. When I drag-and-drop anything from the data control palette onto a jsp page, then any template text on the page will be gone in the Design tab of the page, only the component from the data control palette is visible. The template data is still there though, as can be seen in the Source tab. This makes the Design tab unusable if I want to edit the text on the page. If want to drag-and-drop another component from the palette, I am not able to drop it in desired place since the page text is not visible.
If these are relevant: the page is a jsp page and the tab libraries used in the page before the drag-and-drop are:
<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html" prefix="h"%>
<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core" prefix="f"%>Besides the text on the page, I also had a JSF HTML command button added to the page:
<h:commandButton value="Quit"/>After the drag-and-drop the ADF tag libraries were added by JDeveloper, and the directives became:
<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html" prefix="h"%>
<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core" prefix="f"%>
<%@ taglib uri="http://xmlns.oracle.com/adf/faces" prefix="af"%>
<%@ taglib uri="http://xmlns.oracle.com/adf/faces/html" prefix="afh"%>Is there any incompatibility between the elements from the different tag librarries? How to fix this problem? Or anybody had the same problem before and solved it?
Thanks!
Newman

Shay,
Thank you for the advice. I was using jsp pages. But I also tried jspx and had the same problem. I wonder if it is a problem with the tag library or with the JDeveloper software. When I create a new jsp page, at the step where the available tag libraries can be shuttled from left to the right, sometimes on the right side there is only JSF HTML but hot JSF Core, but JSF core is not on the left side either. Yet if you click finish and check the source tab you would see both directives for the two libraries are in the page.
When building the pages, all the tags are created by JDeveloper. I do not have the freedom to edit the code because I do not know the tags. If I knew how to directly edit the tags, I can forget about the Design tab. But at least for now I am dependent on the Design tab.
There are many questions on my mind such as the difference between <form> and <h:form>? Is it OK to mix all these tags from the different tag libraries in one page? What is the difference between the JSF HTML CommandButton and the ADF FACES Core CommandButton, and which one should I used in what context? And many many other questions. Are there any Oracle documents that cover these topics and systematically explain and teach the use of these tags? I just found documents for 11g, one of which, by its title at least, looks like a book for such purpose. But it is for 11g.
Many thanks for your guidance!

Duplicate top level entries in Data Control Palette

Hi
I'm not sure when this happened, but I have just discovered that my local facade is now appearing twice in the Data Control Palette.
Anyone know why this should be?
I have made a stab in the dark and checked the DataControls.dcx and similar files in the model project, there only appear to be one reference there.
Tom

When you create DataControl from SessionBean parser
goes through that Bean and adds in interface all the
methods that have different signatures. Only if you
use refactoring from the pallete when renaming the
method signature from session bean method in the
interface will be refactored too. That's all. I don't
think it is a bug, but I agree that it could be
solved in better way.
Regards.Are you saying that if you don't use refactoring to alter a methods name or arguments then when the Create Data Controls is run it simply looks for new method signatures, ie the name and argument as one, and adds those?
If this is the case, then surely it should remove ones that no longer exist, ie the old one, thus there would still only be one definition. At the end of the day, manually altering a methods name or argument list is surely no different to using refactoring.
As has been pointed out if you chose to alter the name/arguments manually unless the interface and class method names/arguments match compilation would fail anyway.

Adding tables not reflecting in data control palette

hello
i am using jdev 10 g and oracle xe
i connected the database to the new aplication, then i can now use the datas but in the middle of my work i want to add another table, how can i add the new table in the data control palette so i can continue my work.
i am doing my project all over again because i always forgot some tables that i needed.
can you give me the steps in adding the tables. the REFRESH button also doest work for me
thanks!

You didn't mention what technology you are using to access your database, but assuming it is ADF Business Components - then you can create a new entity and view at any time for more table.
Also make sure to edit your application module and get the new view object exposed in the data model.

Data Control Palette in Jdev 10.1.3

I have a struts project, and an ADF model project in my workspace. I created a new Data Page. My Data Control Palette shows the ADF components available from my Model Project. But, I cannot drag anything onto the page like it seems to be possible from the documentation:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/jdev/collateral/papers/10g/ADFBindingPrimer/index.html
I know the screenshots are for 10.1.2 but I expect it to be similar. I don't see the "Drag and Drop As" dropdown. Nor do I see a UI model tab in the structure pane. Am I missing something?

No luck with new projects. I created a new workspace - selected JSP, Struts, ADF. Created one App Mod in the Model. Created One ViewObject based on a simple select query. Added the ViewObject to the AppMod. Opened the struts-config.xml under the ViewController project. Dragged a DataPage from the component palette. Double clicked the new page. Completed the wizard with default selections. Opened the new JSP in design view. My Data Control Palette shows the app mod with the view under it. I try to drag the View onto the page, and the circle-slash icon appears and does not allow it to be dropped on the page. I can't drag out the attributes, operations, or anything at all from the Data Control Palette. I don't see any text printed on the Java console run from jdev.exe.

Controls palette missing if new vi is created on target

Hi,
I've a problem with LabVIEW 2013 SP1. If I create a project on my computer, I'm able to see all elements in the controls palette on a right click in a VI. If I want to create a project on a compact RIO RT and add a new VI, the controls and function palettes are empty. I don't really know why this is happening, since I'm sure, that I've installed all needed toolkits. I've already tried to reinstall all components with the repair function.
Does anybody know a solution to this strange behaviour?
Thanks!

I also found out that if I access the Edit Palette Set (Tools>Advanced) when I am in the VI created under the target device and then I do right click on the Control or Function palette they are not sincronized with a directory. However if I do the same when I am in the VI created under the host computer I do get the following siconization paths for the Functions palette: \Program Files (x86)\National Instruments\LabVIEW 2014\menus\Categories and the following path for the Control palette: \Program Files (x86)\National Instruments\LabVIEW 2014\menus\Controls.
I have tried to add manually the mentioned path to sincronize the Control and Function palettes but did not solve the problem.
I attach a MAX technical report.

InDesign CS4 Horizontal scale in control palette

Hi all,
Today is my first day in the CS4 version of InDesign! Enjoying it a LOT so far! I just cannot seem to find the usual text horizontal scale in the control palette...as it was per default in earlier ID versions. How do I get it back there? I can always make a trip to the character palette but that takes a bit longer. It is really handy always having it there at the top.
Thanks a lot for your assistance in advance!
Best regards,
Christine

There are a couple possibilities. Which controls appear depend on your monitor resolution. Some drop off if there isn't space. Also, go to choose Customize from the Control panel flyout menu and make sure those options are checked.
Finally, you could have to restore preferences for InDesign if those don't fix it.

Effect Controls Palette - Docking

Is there any way to open an existing project and have the exact window layout be the same as when you quit the project? IE, if I have multiple Effect Controls windows open when I quit a project, how do I have those same windows open when I open the project again? Toolbars and UI panels keep their place, but not Effect Controls.
I have a Null object that contains a handful of Expression Controls (sliders, checkbox controls). I adjust these controls by using the Effect Controls palette when I have the Null object selected. I know how to open multiple Effect Controls windows and even lock my Null object Effect Control window so that it is always open and I can adjust my controls without specifically selected my Null object layer. The problem I run into is when I restart After Effects and open up my project, my Effects Control palette always resets to a single unlocked palette and I have to manually reset up my Effect Control windows (open multiple instances of Effect Control windows, lock my Null object Effect Controls window, etc). If I save my workspace exactly how I want it, when I restart After Effects, the Effects Controls palette setup does not stick like it was before quitting/restarting. For this specific project, I always want my Null object Effect Controls window/palette to be open and locked, but every time I restart, I lose my setup. Any suggestions?
