Description and tip

I am giving a tip to one control on the front panel. But, it doesn't show me the tip each time I run a VI. If I right click & pop up menu, then tip displays otherwise it is not showing tip. I have also tried to give tip programatically. But, same problem exists. If there is no loop delay even of 10 ms, it works fine. What may be the problem?

I use a virutal window program on my computer, and I could not get the tip strips to work until I turned the program off. The tip strips then worked like a champ--they showed up when you program was running and when editing. I changed the wait in your program to zero ms and 5000 ms and with both waits, the tip strips worked. I am using LabVIEW 6.1 on Windows 2000.

Right-Click pop-up more than one Description and tip

Is it possible to edit the run-time popup menu for a right click on a control?
My front panel has a cluster within a cluster and the right-click popup menu gives you two different "Description and Tip" to select from. This is confusing for the user.
How do I edit the run-time right-click popup menu?

hi
search for right click, context menu etc. in this forum. there are several posted vis to create your own right-click menues and catch the selected item (some of them are really neat).

Can I automatically generate documentation from Description and Tip entries?

Is there a way to automatically generate documentation for a LV 6.1 VI from the Description and Tip fields for all the different nodes? Something like JavaDoc or something?
I've seen another note here on the board saying you can do it from within the VI using property nodes, but that seems like a somewhat convoluted way of going about it, especially for a large modular VI.

Also, the LabVIEW Help has step-by-step instructions for generating documentation for VIs. Here's an example:
Generating HTML Documentation for VIs, Templates, and Objects
You can import HTML files into most word processing applications, and you can use HTML files to create compiled help files.
Complete the following steps to generate HTML documentation for a VI, template, or object.
Open any VI, control, global variable, or template file and select File�Print to display the Print dialog box.
In the Select VIs page of the Print dialog box, select the file or files for which you want to generate HTML documentation.
Click the Next button to display the Print contents page.
Select the components you want to include in the documentation.
If you selected Custom, click the Next button to display the Custom details page and select the components you want to include in the documentation. Otherwise, continue to the next step.
Click the Next button to display the Page setup page.
Select the options to set the appearance of the documentation.
Click the Next button to display the Destination page.
Select HTML file.
Click the Next button to display the HTML page.
Select the options for the images.
Click the Save button to display a file dialog box. The dialog box prompts you to name the HTML and image files and select the directory where you want to save the files. The default name of any HTML documentation is the name of the VI with a .html extension.
You also can use the Easy Print VI Panel or Documentation VI or the Print VI to HTML method to generate VI documentation in HTML format programmatically.
This topic in particular links directly to the topics that describe how to use the methods to achieve the same thing programmatically.
If you have any feedback on the content of the LabVIEW Help, please let us know by emailing [email protected]

Description and Tip in Type definitions

Hi everyone,
I wanted the tip and description information that are entered in my own typedefs to appear in a VI using this typedef. Even after several reconnecting to the def, didn't work out. Context help appears in control editor, but not in the calling VI.
Using 7.1.1 ....

OK, just solved... LabVIEW crashed with some errors in memory.cpp and after a restart and a (in the meantime third) mass compile of teh LabVIEW directory, it works fine again.

Print Problem : Print description and tips from structures, nodes and loops from block diagram

Hello,
I've just completed the entire documentation of my VI and I did describe some Case structures and Formula Nodes. Now I want to print the VI with the VI printer and when I select ''Description'' in the custom printer manager, it doesn't select the description from most functions in the block diagram such as Formula Node, Case Structure,etc.
Is there a way to get these descriptions in the printed version VI ?
Thanks a lot !
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi Weepet,
After some investigation, it turns out that this behavior is expected behavior. Please see the following help topic
http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/371361G-01/lvhowto/creating_vi_and_object_de/
Essentially, Context Help will only display the description for controls, indicators, and constants. At the same time, the descriptions will only print if that description is available in context help. LabVIEW primitives will always use the description from the documentation, and will not display your custom "Description and Tips". So, for primitives like case structures and formula nodes, we cannot get that information to print. The behavior that you're seeing is expected.
Perhaps you can just use comments to document these functions? You can double click on a blank area of the block diagram and provide comments.

Missing description and tips

Where are the description and tips located? I have several programs that are now missing the description and tips for controls and indicators. Is there a file associated with the VI that is misplaced that contains description and tip text?
Running LV 2012 Version 121.0f3 32 bit on Windows 7.
The descriptions and tips are missing for several programs, meaning days of work if I can't correct the problem. Not sure when it happened - after update, patch...

It is not clear if the tips and descriptions were removed when updating/upgrading, or never entered... However, attached is a program created to view and edit the tips and descriptions. There is some room for improvement for multiline descriptions, as noted on the front panel. It is faster and easier to use than going in to each individually on a front panel.
It is designed to load all of the tips and descriptions, write edited t & d directly to the vi, and save to or read all of the t & d from a file.

Description and keywords meta tags

Hello,
Could you tell me if it's possible to create HTML output of an ADF page, that has "description" and "keywords" meta tags in the head? Something like:
<meta name="keywords" content="adf jdeveloper description keywords meta tags">
<meta name="description" content="This is a short description of text on a imaginary page">
I know the SEO results may not be great, but I'd still like to use it, just to make it as good as possible for search engines.
Greetings,
Daan Horn

Daan,
Sorry for the oversight.
[url http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/jdev/htdocs/partners/addins/exchange/jsf/doc/tagdoc/core/document.html]Tag documentation for af:document says that af:document has a facet called "metaContainer" which emits the meta tags. I didn't see any examples or have time to test, but you can certainly try putting the meta tags in that facet.
Update: all of the examples I can find show how to inject javascript into the metacontainer, but it should give you an idea how to do it for <meta> tags. [url http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/jdev/tips/fnimphius/increase_css_and_javascript_performance.html?_template=/ocom/print]Here'surl one such example I found via Google.

Room for Description and Keywords input

I am using Bridge CS5 to add bulk and individual photo description and keywords.
Like CS4, room to enter text is too small. If the text reaches the end of the line, the next one remains hidden until I manually click on the left of the text space and drag bottom.
Is there a way to solve this issue?
Thank you

Difficulties with 'Discription and Tip...'

Hi, I added a custom context help description for one of my VIs by using the VI Properties > Documentation text box. This is working fine.
1) Why doesn't the 'Discription and Tip...' Dialog from the right-click Drop-Down menu work? When I move the mouse over the text box the Context Help says, that this box can be used to add description to be displayed in the Context Help. What do I do wrong, it won't display anything.
2) How can I use bold letters as for e.g. refnum in the Context Help description?
Thank you & have a good day

richmart,
you must differ WHERE you enter the description. You can enter description for controls/indicators as well as for VIs.
The context help shows the short help for the currently "highlighted" control/indicator/VI. So moving around the cursor will change the content in the window.
Regarding formatting: The context help (description) supports a limit set of html-tags.
For example: bold text can be achived by using <\b> and <\/b> (remove the "\" within the tags!)
hope this helps,

How to check for a function module with its description and functionality

Hi all,
How to check for a function module,with its description and its functionality,in detail how can I know the purpose of a particular function module,how to search for a function module which suits my requirement .

Hi,
You can search a FM of your requirement by putting in the Key words and searching for a FM. Like * KEYWORD * and then pressing F4.
Say for example you need to search something regarding converstion.
Search for * CONVERT * and press F4.
If there is something specfic like converting date to something you can give
DATE * CONVERT *
OR
CONVERT * DATE * and press F4.
Once you narrow down your search you will have a Function module documentation inside the Function module. Please note that all the FMs willl not have documentation.
Regards,
Pramod

I am trying to find an app or software to burn iMovie 11 slideshow to a dvd. I have a MacBook Pro with Mavericks. There are a lot of DVD Creator apps at the App store. Looking for a recommendation of what to use and tips. Thank you.

I've been using "Burn" for years and it has been the only DVD burning software I have ever used for the mac. I have never needed to look at other apps. Unless you want something that has more bells and whistles such as Roxio's "Toast" : http://www.roxio.com/enu/products/toast/pro/overview.html
There are thousands of quality free apps out there for the mac that are not part of the App Store. All you have to do is read reviews online, do a little search, the Apple forums are full of recommendations from experienced users that have been here for years...

SharePoint 2013: Error when clicking on Title, description, and logo

Hi.
I'm in the process of upgrading from SharePoint 2007 to 2013 and have come across an error which I think has occurred since trying to deploy a new feature to implement our "Company Theme" (Custom look). Please note, everything is otherwise behaving
as expected in the new 2013 environment and the issue does not occur for site collections/content db's that are deleted and restored from the interim 2010 upgraded backup, so I am assuming its something I've done as part of deploying, retracting and redeploying
the theme feature (a number of times).
So, on to the problem... When I click on "Title, description, and logo" in Site Settings I get the following error:
"Sorry, something went wrong
A list, survey, discussion board, or document library with the specified title already exists in this web site. Please choose another title."
My research suggests there is something wrong with the masterpage, which I had initially included as part of the feature but have since gone back to using the default "seattle.master" when creating the Composed look (only spcolor and spfont are
different now).
The same error also occurs when trying to preview a composed look.
Anyway, while I can probably get away with re-upgrading the affected site collections and re-enabling the theme feature, I'd like to know if I can fix this (or rather, what caused it) before going to production.
BTW, I'm getting the following errors in the Log file:
"The list "$Resources:core,webpageassetList;" in web "..." was not created"
"Failed to create list "... etc."
(I would copy the entire error messages but its not pasting - I'll try on a reply post)
Thanks,
Paul.
