Custom control: slider with two needles
I've been using LabVIEW for some years, and I was able to create a lot of custom controls.
I know that CVI is doesn't allow me such a level of customization, but I don't know if there is a simple and effective way to create a slider controls with two needles (based on the Vertical Pointer Slide for example).
I used two different overlapped slides, and they behave more or less as I expected (not fully satisfied, but ...). I need placing a lot of these controls in a panel, so I wonder if I can group the two slides in a custom control, and write some c code to interface with them (if I select Create >>Custom control, I can't select two different controls...)
Is there another way to create a slider control with two needles?

Hey Vix -
While I agree it's not quite as straightforward as LabVIEW, you can do exactly what you're talking about with LabWindows/CVI. The basic instructions to do this are here. Another good resource is to check out the installed custom controls in <CVI>\toolslib\custctrl, and copy their format. It sounds like for your particular case, you'd want to create a custom control for a slide control. Then, in the API for your custom control, you could have a convert function that programmatically created the second slide control for your second needle. If you need more detail than this, let me know.

One controlling area with two company codes assigned with one CoA
Hi,
I am having one controlling area with two company codes assigned , i am using the same gl for two company codes as cost element , when i am positng the miro for vendor purpose it posted the error , to avoid the price difference purpose , i have given one cost center of first company code in OKB9 , and overcome the error , entries posted, when i am posting new entry for MIRO in secod company codes with same cost element , price difference of that account should go to the other cost center which specifically created for second company code, in the OBK9 i have given cost center first company code of the same GL account , now this is another new entry in the second company code with other cost center in the second company code since the price difference account should sit in the other cost center of second company code, how to over come this problem, pls help me
Thanks and regards
MurugesanHi,
First, remove the default cost center in the cost element. Then, for the system to derive the correct cost center for each company codes, define one cost center for each compny codes in OKB9 just like this:
Co Code Cost Element Cost Center
1000 1000000 A
2000 1000000 B
So during MIRO, the system will derive these values you maintain in OKB9.

How can i control graph with two inputs?
Hi,
i would like to ask you about the graph with two inputs
Normally, if i just give one input, they generate the graph with this input(y) vs time(x).
But now i would like to get the graph with my two inputs in x axis and y axis .
i want to control both of two axis. How could i do for it ?
i attached the file that i try to use "Build XY graph" to control both x and y axis with random number .
It can run but i don't know how come the graph show nothing. .
Actually , it have to show something like wavefrom continuously. am i right?
Could you tell me a way to solve it ?
>>>
what i want to get is ..
in Graph,
for x axis , ditance (always increases)
for y axis , vibration (vary)
>>>
Thank you so much for your time . I am looking forward your kindly reply.
With Respect,
Su

Mind me to interrupt, I am just helping Mike to explain what he meant to you, refer to the graph:

Controlling event with two controls
Here's what I have.
I have two separate Time loops. Inside each timed loop I have an event structure. Each even structure is trigger by pressing a button each. This works just fine.
However, I'd like to add a third button, that executes both event structures. I want to do this without creating additional events in each structure. Is this possible to somehow wire this third button to the other two and trigger the two based off the action of the third? I'm having trouble getting that to work.
Thanks

How can i create a custom control, indicator
This is FredFred,
How can i create a custom control switch with 3 or more options,
OFF
ON
STANDBY
Other than rocker, slide, or toggle switch, are there other switches that we can use, hence, the question of creating a custom switch.
Also, is there a way to create an indicator with two options. Enclosed is a jpeg with an example of what i need
Thanks in Advance

sample switches_displays.bmp 720 KBHello.
Boolean controls can only have 2 possible values, true or false, and there is no way to add more values to them.
If you need more values, then you must use a numeric control (or a string, but I tend to like numerics better, although strings could be just as useful).
There are several types of numeric controls you could use to provide 3 or more options. Attached is a VI which shows a ring, a knob, and a slide each with 3 possible values. In your code, you would then perform different actions depending on the numeric value of your control.
Hope this helps,
Alejandro

Help me on HSlider with two thumbs
Hi Friends,
I have a problem with HSlider. I am working on a slider with two thumbs. I have a requirement to overlap two thumbs. But the problem with overlapping is i can slide in reverse also. I need to restrict that. Please suggest me solution and save my time.
I will explain with example:
I have a slider to select classes from 1 - 12. For this i am using HSlider with two thumbs.
Now a user can select class range between 1 - 12. i.e., 5-6 or 8-9 or 2-9 etc..
I am giving an option to select 1-1 or 4-4 or 5-5 by overlapping the thumbs.
Now the problem i am facing is : user can select 9-5 or 6-1 or 5-3 etc, because i am giving chance to overlap thumbs.
But i have to restrict that behaviour... The user should not be able to select reverse.
I tried to Override getSnapValue method to restirct that behavior. But it is not working as expected. Please suggest me a solution for this. Please share me if you have any example which is having same or similar behavior.
Thanks,
Venu S.Hi Bhasker,
Thanks for immediate response.
Here is my code:
package
import mx.controls.HSlider;
import mx.controls.sliderClasses.SliderThumb;
import mx.core.mx_internal;
use namespace mx_internal;
public class CustonSlider extends HSlider{
public function CustonSlider (){
override mx_internal function getSnapValue(value:Number, thumb:SliderThumb = null):Number{
if (!isNaN(snapInterval) && snapInterval != 0){
var val:Number = getValueFromX(value);
trace("value min max val "+value+" "+minimum+" "+maximum+" "+val);
//if (thumb && (thumbs.numChildren > 1) && !allowThumbOverlap)
if (thumb && (2 > 1) && !allowThumbOverlap){
var check_bounds:Boolean = true;
var bounds:Object
bounds = getXBounds(thumb.thumbIndex);
var prevThumb:SliderThumb =thumb.thumbIndex > 0 ?
//SliderThumb(thumbs.getChildAt(thumb.thumbIndex- 1)) :
SliderThumb(getThumbAt(thumb.thumbIndex- 1)) :
null;
var nextThumb:SliderThumb =
//thumb.thumbIndex + 1 < thumbs.numChildren ?
thumb.thumbIndex + 1 < 2 ?
//SliderThumb(thumbs.getChildAt(thumb.thumbIndex + 1)) :
SliderThumb(getThumbAt(thumb.thumbIndex + 1)) :
null;
if (prevThumb){
bounds.min -= (prevThumb.width / 2);
trace("bounds.min "+bounds.min);
// check if thumb is at minimum, if not we can ignore the bounds logic
if (val == minimum)
if (getValueFromX((prevThumb.xPosition - prevThumb.width/2)) <= minimum)check_bounds =
false;}
else
if (val >= minimum)check_bounds =
false;}
if (nextThumb){
bounds.max += (nextThumb.width / 2);
trace("bounds.max "+bounds.max);
// check if thumb is at maximum, if not we can ignore the bounds logic
if (val == maximum)
if (getValueFromX((nextThumb.xPosition + nextThumb.width/2)) >= maximum)check_bounds =
false;}
else
if (val <= maximum)check_bounds =
false;}
trace("check_bounds : "+check_bounds);
if (check_bounds)val = Math.min(Math.max(val, getValueFromX(Math.round(bounds.min)) + snapInterval),
getValueFromX(Math.round(bounds.max)) - snapInterval);
return getXFromValue(val);}
return value;}
I am calling the above snippet in my application.
But it is not working as i expected. Let us consider two thumbs as left thumb and right thumb, the left thumb should not move to right and rite thumb should move to right thumb. I can achieve this functionality if i set the boolean property "allowThumbOverlap" to false. But if i did this i cannot select range between 1-1 0r 4-4 or 9-9 etc. I have to give a chance to select range between 1-1 or 4-4 or 9-9 etc

UI Design help / Slider with multiple thumbs?
I've got an application which is trying to set multiple bounds
around a single value. For instance, if my value was "temperature",
possible bounds might be cold, temperate, hot.
I want my user to be able to assign all of those ranges.
My first thought was to use a slider with multiple thumbs. I could
have 0 and 100 as min and max, say, with 2 sliders. Everything
to the left of the first slider is "cold", everything between the two
sliders is "temperate", and everything to the right of the second
slider is "hot.
Of course, JSlider does not have support for multiple thumbs.
So, I was hoping someone could either suggest a freeware/LGPL
widget that did *or* could propose a clever redesign to obviate
the need for one.
In reality, my problem is more complex -- multiple values with
varying start values, end values, and number of thresholds. I'm
using multiple sliders right now, and it's functional, but really fugly.
Thanks for any help you might be able to provide!

JSlider with two slider controls
I apologise if this is an obvious question, but my searches have not revealed the answers I was looking for.
I am looking to implement a sort-of JSlider component in an application, which would allow the user to change two controls along the entire length of the slider - i.e. picking a minimum and maximum value. I realise I could do this with two different JSliders, but unless their size changed dynamically, this would be a less intuitive solution.
If anyone has any ideas of how this might be achieved, I would love to hear. Thank you very much.How to do it? Implement your own custom component. You can base it on an assembly of two JSliders if you like, since it would make sense because de facto you have two sliders. It's probably easier than duplicating the innards of a standard JSlider and modifying its renderer.

Hello,
Does anyone know how to increase the size of the digital display increment arrows on a slider control? I want to make the arrows bigger but the "custom control" selection under edit is grayed out. I am working with a 30" monitor and would like them to be twice the size.
Thanks,
JohnHi there John,
the procedure seems to be a bit tricky, but you can customize the increment arrows by first switching to the customize mode, then selecting the digital display and only after that it lets you select the Customize control -option. Try it. This works at least in LabVIEW 2009 and 2011.
Cheers,

Problem with custom control and focus
I've a problem with the focus in a custom control that contains a TextField and some custom nodes.
If i create a form with some of these custom controls i'm not able to navigate through these fields by using the TAB key.
I've implemented a KeyEvent listener on the custom control and was able to grab the focus and forward it to the embedded TextField by calling requestFocus() on the TextField but the problem is that the TextField won't get rid of the focus anymore. Means if i press TAB the first embedded TextField will get the focus, after pressing TAB again the embedded TextField in the next custom control will get the focus AND the former focused TextField still got the focus!?
So i'm not able to remove the focus from an embeded TextField.
Any idea how to do this ?Here you go, it contains the control, skin and behavior of the custom control, the css file and a test file that shows the problem...

In custom control , I wnt to save the layout with variant -
Hi,
In custom control , I want to save the layout using variant and i want to choose the layout from the variant
Plz give me the details.
Rerards,
RaniHello Rani
I assume you have an ALV grid displayed within a custom control. For this ALV grid you want to be able to save layouts.
Assuming that you are using class CL_GUI_ALV_GRID you have set the following IMPORTING parameters when calling method go_grid->set_table_for_first_display:
" Fill variant parameter with following values:
gs_variant-report = syst-repid.
gs_variant-handle = 'GRID'. " 4-digit handle; required if you have multiple ALV grids
- I_SAVE = 'A' " allows saving of user-specific and global layouts
- IS_VARIANT = gs_variant

How can one use Mission Control with two monitors? Please bring Spaces back
How can one use Mission Control with two monitors. With Spaces I could treat each space as a single desktop.
SyBBI use two monitors at work and have no issue. I have my mail set to use Desktop 1 and iTunes set to the second monitor of Desktop 1. I have browsers set to Desktop 2 and Fusion and RDC set to Desktop 3.
Two things that may help you. In System Preferences > Mission Control, disable the setting "Automatically rearrange spaces...". This screwed with assigning applications to certain spaces. And the other thing is don't use full screen on apps that support it. This just makes your second monitor superfluous. -

Populating a table with two columns using a custom bean
hello,
Can someone provide me or give me a link to an example of populating a table (with two columns) with a custom bean?
thank you
fwu1)create a java class
2)have a list as a class variable
3) populate the list in the constructor..
4) map the values in the af:table
//Employee pojo
public class Employee {
public Employee() {
super();
private String empName;
private String empManager;
private String job;
public void setEmpName(String empName) {
this.empName = empName;
public String getEmpName() {
return empName;
public void setEmpManager(String empManager) {
this.empManager = empManager;
public String getEmpManager() {
return empManager;
public void setJob(String job) {
this.job = job;
public String getJob() {
return job;
//maanged bean
public class Bean {
private List<Employee> employee;
public Bean() {
super();
employee = new ArrayList<Employee>();
Employee e1 = new Employee();
e1.setEmpName("xxxxx");
e1.setEmpManager("xxxxxxxx");
e1.setJob("xxxxxxx");
Employee e2 = new Employee();
e2.setEmpName("yyyyyyy");
e2.setEmpManager("yyyyyyy");
e2.setJob("yyyyyyt");
Employee e3 = new Employee();
e3.setEmpName("zzzzzz");
e3.setEmpManager("zzzzzzz");
e3.setJob("zzzzzzzz");
employee.add(e1);
employee.add(e2);
employee.add(e3);
employee.add(e4);
public void setEmployee(List<Employee> employee) {
this.employee = employee;
public List<Employee> getEmployee() {
return employee;
}in the table map like
<af:table value="#{Bean.employee}" var="row" rowBandingInterval="0"
id="t1">
<af:column headerText="Employee Name" id="c1">
<af:inputText value="#{row.empName}" id="it5"/>
</af:column>
<af:column headerText="Employee Manager" id="c2">
<af:inputText value="#{row.empManager}" id="it2"/>

Consolidating with two controlling areas
Hi
We are looking to implement JVA on our SAP system, and for this there will be requirement for a second controlling area to be created.
We see this as causing us problems regarding consolidation in BCS u2013 We were wondering if anyone knows if it is possible to consolidation in BCS with two controlling areas?
ThanksI'm assuming that you are creating a second Controlling Area for a second year end (since you are looking at JVA)? If some other reason, don't bother with reading the rest of my post.
We are currently using two Controlling Areas due to the fact that we also invest in many joint ventures. Our corporate year-end is January 31, while many of the JVs are December 31.
For BCS, we are defaulting the Fiscal Year Variant to the January 31 value when the data is brought in via Load from Data Stream (we hard-coded the assignment in the mapping). Our requirement is only to consolidate for our corporate year-end, which is why we are able to do this. Since BCS is based on periods (and not calendar date), the data is brought in as follows: December 31 year-ends come in a month ahead (i.e. the month of January data is actually period 12 of the previous year for BCS, even though it is actually that company's fiscal period 1, the month of February is period 1 of the following year for BCS, etc.); meanwhile, our January 31 companies come into BCS in line with our corporate year-end (i.e month of January data is period 12 for both the company itself and BCS).
Hope this makes sense.
