Disable launch of front panel when starting web services

Hello all,
This may be a naive question as it may have a simple answer that I am missing, but is there a way to not have all VIs associated with a web service launch (i.e. show their front panel) when you start a web service? I find this to be very irritating as I have a lot of VIs associated with the web service that I am running and don't want my windows cluttered up with VI front panels that I am not interested in viewing.
Thanks, Matt

Thanks for the reply, tst. I was hoping that I would be able to reproduce this on the client side, but unfortunately I can't generate a simple example . My web service is large and contains a lot of resources to access different variables and it seems to reproduce this, you would have to deploy this onto an RT target.
Some further insight into the issue - starting a web service on my current target is similar to when you select Deploy All on a virtual folder in a project - all of the front panels become visible.

How to show the front panel when launching VI with Call by reference node??

Hello!
I just wonder how I make the front panel visible during execution when I launch the VI with CALL BY REFERENCE NODE.

Could u also show me how to change different properties (window size ..) of the front panel??? (launched with CALL BY REFERENCE NODE)
Thank you!

In VI Properties>>Window Apperance>>Customize you can check "Show front panel when called". This will open the front panel on each call. It doesn't matter how the call was initiated.
You can set a lot of Front panel properties during runtime. Place a Property Node in the block diagram. Change the class from App to VI. Under properties select Front Panel window>>Panel bounds to set the position and size of the front panel.

Hide front panel when opened

I have a VI running as a back ground task (VI_A) to the main VI (VI_B). VI_B starts VI_A and the idea is that VI_A will be minimised on startup. There is a button on VI_B to restore the window and a button on VI_A to hide the window and return to VI_B.
This is all working OK, I open VI_A front panel when called, VI_B minimises VI_A straight away etc, I am using the WINUTIL.LLB functions to perform this. The problem I have is VI_A front panel is visible upon start up for a couple of seconds (there is no real delay in my execution to minimise). I have tried setting VI_A to be at teh back within VI_A but still it appears at the front for a couple of seconds.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to why this is occuring.
Cheers,
Wayne

One thing that you could do is to change the Windows Appearance property to NOT open front panel when called. You can then have your main VI (VI_B) open the panel for VI_A as before, but it will not start with the panel open. If you are creating an executable, go to the VI Settings tab page and click on the line with VI_A and then Edit Settings. Turn OFF the Remove Panel property. This should work for you (I've done similar already anyway).

Show LabVIEW VI Front Panel When Sequence Step Called

Hello,
By clicking on the “Show VI Front Panel When Called” checkbox in the Step Settings pane displays the LabVIEW VI Front Panel for approximately 100 milliseconds. Is there a configuration way to display the VI front panel for a longer period of time, during that step execution, and allow the user to control the duration of the front panel exposure by clicking to resume execution of the sequence file at their will?
Thank you.
Solved!

Hi,
You will need to have some sort of structure in your VI for handling front panel response, otherwise you front panel is only going to be visible for as long as it takes to execute an return back to teststand.
But remember, once you hold your step within that VI which is waiting on the operator to eventual close it, your Sequence will be held as well and if you are expecting steps to continue running after your VI then you will have to consider running it in parallel to your main test sequence.
You may also need to consider what happens if you want to terminate your Test Sequence, how do you close your VI.
Check out 'Strategies for Terminating or Breaking Sequences' in the following.
hope this is of help

I created boolean references in my main vi block diagram and copied them to my sub vi front panel. when wire my reference in my main vi to one the input node of the sub vi the wire is broken. the error says its a class conflict why?

i created boolean references in my main vi block diagram and copied them to my sub vi front panel. when wire my reference in my main vi to one the input node of the sub vi the wire is broken. the error says its a class conflict why?

Expanding and clarifying what BJD said;
After you create the temporary sub-VI that BJD mentioned, open its front panel and copy the reference control that LV created when it created the sub-VI.
This reference control will be correct class etc that you need. Use the control to replace the original control that you were attempting to wire up.
The technique of "create sub-VI...copy" always works for me.
There is one more thing that you should watch out for.
The mechanical action of the boolean can not be set for latch action when attempting to read the value using a value property node.

How do i display my labview front panel on a web-page and update it say eyery 5 seconds, I think i need Lookout?

My front panel display updates every 20secs. I want to be able to view the Labview front panel on a web-page which updates itself continuously. Will Lookout do this?

LabVIEW will do this with it's built in web server. Full control of a LabVIEW front panel is possilbe with version 6.1. Older versions have the ability to publish a panel with no control. What version do you have? Lookout is a completely different software package for HMI/SCADA applications and has no relationship to LabVIEW except that they're sold by the same company.

Is there a way to disable all vi front panels in Teststand?

I don't want any vi front panels to appear while my Testand program is running. My application uses a lot of vi's and I'm trying to avoid having to reset the front panel properties for each one. Is there a single option somewhere in Teststand to do this?
Thanks.

Hi kevmi2ca,
One could uncheck the Show VI Front Panel When Called box in TestStand for each VI call, if it were checked. There is no other control in TestStand to modify the Front Panel behavior of all VI calls.
This would be a great product suggestion to make at http://sine.ni.com/apps/utf8/nicc.call_me.

Looking for a way to programmatically set the visible portion of the front panel when a subVI opens

I am looking for a way to programmatically set the visible portion of the front panel when a subVI opens. Haven't found any posts that relate, but I'm not sure how to ask the right question. To be clear, I want to write a helper VI to go through a list of subVIs to make sure the background images are all in the same place when their respective subVIs open. I hate manually playing with scroll bars before I save each of the VIs... I'm figuring I need to find the top/left location of the background image (know how to do this already) and then set a VI FP property to these values or some offset, but I can't find the relevant property. FP:run-timeposition:custom looked promissing, but only affects the location of the window, not the area of the front panel the window is displaying.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Cool. Getting closer. The way I implemented your suggestion affects the subVI only if it is open. I can use this to do what I'm after, perhaps putting the code into each subVI. Maybe open all subs, run the helper, and save. Seems like I'm missing the elegant version...

Running PB 12.1 Build 7000. Using Easysoap. Error ""Error while parsing SOAP XML payload: no element found" received when invoking Web Service".

Maybe "extraneous" is an incorrect term. Apparantly, based upon the writeup within Wiki, the parser I am using does not interpret the """? How do I find which parser is being utilized and how to control it?

Can't start web services in OSX Server 10.3

I used the GUI to turn on webDAV on one of my domains and now I can't even start web services.
For some reason, all of my domains now have multiple alias mappings, redirects, alias matches and redirect matches.
I have tried to delete the additional mappings from my domains, but everytime I hit save, they rewrite themselves. I deleted the domain in which I activated webDAV and recreated it and the mappings still rewrite themselves.
Any suggestions as to how to stop the automatic writing of the mappings and get my web services up and running again?

Errors when processing web service call

Hello Experts,
Based on a requirement, I got a URL based on WSDL, using which I created a Consumer Proxy in SAP.
I created a Logical Port in SOA Manager with type selected as 'WSDL'.
When I'm trying to execute the proxy class to call the webservice using the logical port through SE80 it is throwing an error log as stated below.
1) SOAP:14 Unexpected element -el=definitions ns=http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/
2)Error when processing Web service call
3)Error when calling SOAP Runtime functions: Unexpected element -el=definitions ns=http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/
Kindly help me out.
Thanks,

How to reference complex data type when consuming web services in WAS 620?

In WAS 620, I tried to consume a web service in ABAP. I was successful when the web service returned one or more simple data type. But when the web service is changed to return a complex data type (eg. a structure with 3 elements), the call to the web service did not return anything.
Do any of you know how to reference the individual element in the structure of an output parameter in a web service? I use the add_parameter method of the CSoapDocument class to identify the output parameters.
