Does labview have drag and drop capability while a program is running

Suppose I have a cluster with controls of various datatypes on the front panel of one vi. Is it possible to represent that cluster with an icon, and then drag that icon on to the front panel of a second vi? The information in the cluster would then be available in the second vi.

I did this. Take a look at G Toolbox/Drag&Drop on my web
page.

    Please do a SMC and PRAM reset using the directions in iMac SMC and PRAM reset. If that doesn't work then please tell us exactly which mouse you own, it's possible it needs cleaning or replacing.

  • Can  we have drag and drop functionality in xcelsius

    hi,
    i want to know wheather we can give adding and removing columns functionality to the user like we can give in the dash board created in wad.because most users want to analyse in their own way along with the standard one we show initially.
    can anyone tell me some features which are best in xcelsius than in wad or visual composer.
    so that it will be easy to choose what is the best tool according to the endusers requirement.

    There isn't a "painting" function built-in.
    You can do drag and drop in ADF Faces between components though.
    If you want to show relationship between components with lines - you might want to look into the Hierarchy Viewer.

  • Multi window view missing drag and drop

    The 4.3 update for Note 2 says it will be upgraded to Note 3 version.  Didn't the Note 3 have drag and drop capability?  This option is not available on my now updated Note 2.  Am I missing something?

    Yeah, this bug has been around for a long long time. Best thing to do is to drop it directly onto 'c' or switch to another view style like Column View or Icon View. Hope that helps.

  • Visual Studio opening files when dragged and dropped in WPF app debugging session

    I'm working on a WPF app (using VS2013 CE) which is intended to manage media files (TV Shows, movies, etc) and as part of this I am enabling the user to drag and drop media files on to the running app (by adding AllowDrop="True" and PreviewDragEnter="Window_PreviewDragEnter"
    to my Window definition).
    The problem I have is that when I drag files onto the app in a debugging session Visual Studio then opens the file(s) when I stop debugging... this is seriously annoying as when I am testing with large media files (> 1GB) it just locks up VS for minutes
    at a time while it tries to open the file or files. When I run the app outside the debugger this does not happen - it's only when I'm in a VS debugging session.  The only way I can stop this happening is to kill VS completely from Task Manager then restart
    it - this is also very annoying but often I need to do this as it will freeze up for 5-10 minutes while it insists on loading the files in VS.
    I understand the app, whilst debugging, is running in the context of VS but why does VS then have to try to open the files when debugging is finished?   I have looked through the options but can't see anything to switch this off and no amount of searching
    has turned up anything - can anyone put me out of my misery with a solution to this annoying issue?

    Hello nzmike,
    Does Visual Studio behaves like the following image shows and just hangs when opening your media file?
    Do you have any other computer which installs Visual Studio? Can you reproduce this on it?
    In order to troubleshoot this issue I think we need to locate the root reason of your issue. The problem can related to the following:
    1. Your project is corrupt and VS then trys to load that file when debug finished.
    2. Your VS is corrupt and caused this problem.
    So please do something below:
    1. Try clean and rebuild your project.
    2. Switch to some other PCs and use VS and your project there, check if the problem can be reproduced.
    3. You can backup your VS setting and try some commands: devenv /resetsettings and devenv /resetuserdata
    Details about VS command:https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/xee0c8y7.aspx
    And based on th research of the above second step, if you can reproduce this issue on more than one PC, the problem is pending on your project and I need you to share a simple sample which can reproduce this issue. We will need to investigate the project
    in detail.
    Best regards,

  • How do I drag and drop multiple files on a control?

    LabVIEW supports dragging and dropping a single file on a path control, and have the path control populated appropriately. I want a user to be able to highlight multiple files (say, from the OS Find File window, or anywhere really) and drop them into a path array control in LabVIEW. I was hoping putting a path control in an array would do the trick, but it didn't. The mouse cursor changes to the "+" icon as it did for a single file, but when I release the button the system just beeps. Is this even doable?
    Thanks, Bob Martin

    I guess I was hoping that the path control would realize it was in an array, and starting with the actual control where the drop occurred (if more than one item of the array is visible) start populating subsequent slots with the other file paths.
    I'm not sure how much work would be involved, but maybe I could make a control in VB that would accept the drop event and output the path array I'm looking for. I've never made a control in VB for LabVIEW before, so I'm leary of how much time that would take. I'll add this to my list of "things to do that never seem to get enough priority to do."

  • Drag and drop in APEX 4.1

    Hi everyone,
    I'm wanting to create an APEX application but I am a novice when it comes to APEX.
    One of the key points to my app is that it will need to be able to have drag and drop capabilities. Not drag and drop data but drag and drop objects like in this blog post: http://rutgerderuiter.blogspot.com/2008/07/drag-planboard.html
    That article is pretty much what I want to do. I was just wondering if this is easier in the most recent version as that blog is several years old.
    Does anyone know if there are newer features that make this easier? Any relevant links?
    Thanks!
    -Joe

    Hi jarola,
    I was looking for a sample application that provides a fancy "drag and drop" and found your thread here.
    I checked your link and the online version of the kanban board - veeeery great! Exactly what I'm looking for!! thumbs up :-)
    Since I want to use it in an APEX application, I downloaded your sample application. Import was successful and I also took care of your "readme.txt":
    "When installing application on Application Express release 4      
    After installation, you need modify page template.
    Move #HEAD# substitution string in page template header before javascript libraries."
    But despite, I still get following error message when trying to create a new board:
    TypeError: $.htmldbJSON is not a function
    I tried to place the #HEAD# in different places, nothing seems to help. :-(
    I'm running APEX Version 4.2.0.00.27 .
    It would be glad if somebody can help me to find what I'm doing wrong here...
    Thanks & regards

  • Drag and Drop Cursor changes - not working

    I have fully implemented a working drag and drop Swing application, but I am running into problems with the cursor.
    My application has some drop targets that set the cursor to DragSource.DefaultCopyNoDrop, and some that set it to DragSource.DefaultCopyDrop. The problem is once I change the cursor DefaultCopyDrop, I can never change it to NoDrop. I can however change it from NoDrop to Drop. I have tried it with jdk1.4 beta3 and rc.
    An example of this cursor behavior can be found at:
    http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/jw-03-1999/jw-03-dragndrop.html
    I found some information related to this at:
    http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/bugParade/bugs/4407521.html
    I have tried using a null cursor in the startDrag method.
    Does anyone have a DND example where the cursor consistantly changes to give drop feedback that works with the DND in JDK1.4?
    Dave

    Hi, I also want to implement DND. I am using JRE1.3.1
    I am also facing the cursor change problem. i have passed null in the startDrag method. This problem get solved to some extent, but still many times cursor is not changing. I have created my dragSource and drag Target
    in the Constructor of my tree in a separate thread like
    // IN CONSTRUCTO OF TREE
    SwingUtilities.invokeLater( new Tree_DropTarget(this) );
    SwingUtilities.invokeLater( new TreeDragSource(this,
    DnDConstants.ACTION_MOVE) );
    Than in the target and source class
    publi clas Tree_DropTarget implements DropTargetListener,Runnable
    public Tree_DropTarget(JTree tree)
    m_dropTarget = tree;
    public void run ()
    try
    Thread.sleep(2000);
    catch (InterruptedException e)
    m_dropTarget = new DropTarget (m_targetTree, this);
    Same Way I have done for DragSource.
    Is anything wrong there???
    I am also facing 1 more proble, sometiems DND events are getting fired on navigating through the nodes, even though i am not dragging the node. And getting the Below exception some times
    java.lang.NullPointerExceptionat sun.awt.dnd.SunDropTargetContextPeer.handleMotionMessage(Unknown Source)
         at sun.awt.windows.WToolkit.eventLoop(Native Method)
         at sun.awt.windows.WToolkit.run(Unknown Source)
         at java.lang.Thread.run(Unknown Source)
    This exception I am not able to get who is throwing as all exceptions i am catching.
    Please help me, if u had any idea about these problems.

  • Drag and drop - like the builder?

    Hi team,
    It's nice to have drag-and-drop repositioning in the builder. It would be even nicer to be able to offer it to my users.
    Is there any sort of guidance available on how to replicate the functionality of P5150 of the builder?
    Thanks
    jd

    Hi JD,
    Yes absolutely you can do that in APEX, however there is not really built-in support for it (although you can refactor the code used in the builder if you choose), but instead of doing that I would recommend using a 3rd party javascript library to make it much easier, two of the most commonly used for that type of drag-drop effect (generally speaking) are -
    Yahoo UI Library - http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/dragdrop/
    jQuery UI Library - http://ui.jquery.com/demos/draggable
    I've used both and my preference is the jQuery library (for a few different reasons that I won't go into here), however if you follow their demos/guide you should be able to see just how easy it is to incorporate it into APEX (there is little APEX-specific coding you need to do really).
    Hope this helps,
    John.

  • Drag and drop to textinput?

    Hello,
    I'd like to be able to drag from a mx:List and drop into an mx:textinput.
    is this possible? I've tried setting <mx:textinput dropEnabled="true"> but the compiler doesn't like it...
    Anyone have any clues?
    Cheers,
    Nick

    This page answers your question, by showing how to add drag and drop support for any Flex component.
    By default TextArea does not support drag and drop.

  • Drag and drop several files

    Hi,
    I'm using iPhoto '11 (version 9.4.2) and when I try to drag and drop several files into a folder, it fails.
    Actually it just does nothing: the drag and drop icon is created with the accurate numbre of items in a red star, the folder blinks but when I release the mouse, nothing happens.
    It fails sometimes with 3 photos, sometimes with 30.
    What's more puzzling is that it sometimes works: if I drag and drop of a single photo it always works. And I'm sometimes able to drop 10 or more photos.
    I'm running on a macbook pro retina with lion (10.8.2).
    Any idea of logs I could look at for some informations, some errors messages?
    Thanks,
    Laurent.

    I guess it creates new photos, hence it modifies the timestamps whereas drag and drop does not.
    There are two kinds of metadata involved when you consider  jpeg or other image file.
    One is the file data. This is what the Finder shows. This tells you nothing about the contents of the file, just the File itself.
    The problem with File metadata is that it can easily change as the file is moved from place to place or exported, e-mailed, uploaded etc.
    Photographs have also got both Exif and IPTC metadata. The date and time that your camera snapped the Photograph is recorded in the Exif metadata. Regardless if what the file date says, this is the actual time recorded by the camera.
    Photo applications like iPhoto, Aperture, Lightroom, Picasa, Photoshop etc get their date and time from the Exif metadata.
    When you export from iPhoto to the Finder new file is created containing your Photo (and its Exif). The File date is - quite accurately - reported as the date of Export. However, the Photo Date doesn't change.
    The problem is that the Finder doesn't work with Exif.
    So, your photo has the correct date, and so does the file, but they are different things. To sort on the Photo date you'll need to use a photo app.

  • Photoshop Elements Organizer 11 - Drag and Drop to Marked Faces

    Hello,
    I have recently upgraded from PSE 10 to 11.  In 10 I used to drag People tags onto autodetected faces which would server to add the tag as well label the mark of the  face (2 birds with one stone).  In 11 when I attempt to drag and drop a People tag onto a marked face, the square and the "Who is this" disapears.  The only way I can find to actually mark the face is by actually typing the name for each person.  Definitely a more painful way of doing it versus drag and drop.  Did Adobe drop this feature or is this a bug I can expect to be fixed in an upcoming update?  Or is this problem that is just local to my machine?
    Thanks!  Rob

    That is pretty disappointing!  Regardless of a revamp or not, marching into a NEW version should NOT mean reduced functionality!  I didn’t use the facial recognition in 10 because most of the time it got it wrong!  Also, for my people tags I like to tag (mark faces) with tags of “Family” and “Friends”.  More often than not this represents the bulk of my people tagging.  So now I actually have to type it in or I have to try to use Add People and hope it gets it right more than in version 10.  That is definitely a slower workflow!
    Sigh.  OK.   My next question is that it looks like Add people facial recognition is not working at all. It is finding faces but it is not suggesting names at all, even after doing a number to try to teach it.  I will start up a second thread to ask that question. 
    Beyond this does anyone have any ideas on how to save a time on People tagging?  This represents the bulk of the time I spend in Organizer so making this process work faster is really important to me.

  • Web Enabled Drag and Drop : How to ? Enlighten Me :)

    Hai,
    I am writing a web page which should have Drag and Drop functionality.In the web page You should be able to move the lables around, and when you login again you should be able to see the lables where they were moved to.
    I'm thinking the only way to make it with java is includ a JTable in JApplet and fill its cells with the JLables. Make them Draggable and the JTable as Drop Source. Get their positions after they r moved and then update the positions in Database with JDBC.
    Please can you give me the suggestions on how to do this. Is there anyway I can do this with Java Script..?
    I welcome your suggestions and help for this.
    Thanks in Advance.
    :-)

    If you are doing this on the timeline, then your dragging sections should each be on their own layers, and they should extend through whichever frames you intend them all to be present.  So if you have mouths being added in frame 1, hats in frame 2, and eyes in frame 3, then you need to have each section of pieces on its own layer, and the mouths layer should extend from frames 1 thru 3, the hats from frames 2 thru 3, etc.

Maybe you are looking for
