Use active plot and plot name properties. For example if you had three plots and an array of three names, you could do the following:

Dynamically changing the name of the .dll file to load in call Library

Our current model is to use dll files as "plug-in" modules for instruments and a top layer test step calls the appropriate driver dll.
For instance
the TestStep is called with the kenmore.dll passed as a parameter so the kenmore.dll file is loaded, the functions are registered and the functions are called. Next the TestStep is called with whirlpool.dll as a parameter now the whirlpool.dll is loaded the functions are registered and the functions are called. This works very well in our current CVI/LabWindows environment. Now we plan to work with LabView, we wish to retain this model (as DLL files, there are advantages in our model for us). We have not found a way to load these dll files from LabView without hard coding the path and filenames in.
Any suggestions on how to dynamically change the path in the Call Library module, or another suggested method of loading the dll via LabView?
Thanks,

As Ben has pointed out LabVIEW
scripting may be a possibility but you are going with that in highly
unsupported area. Also I happen to know that changing the library name
of a Call Library Node through scripting has produced unsupported
feature errors previous to LabVIEW 7.1 eventhough the method was there.
And LabVIEW 8 hides the whole scripting business behind the license
manager.
Another approach at least if the different DLLs do not change to often
thier functions and parameters would be to create a wrapper DLL. Have
it a method that loads the desired DLL and links its functions to
internal function pointers. Then when calling the actual function entry
points just redirect directly to the correct fucntion through that
function pointer. Since you are already working in CVI creating such a
DLL should be only a matter of taking out a little bit of your already
existing code and put it into a DLL project.

Dynamically changing the name of a page item

Hello,
I'd like to dynammically change the name/label of a page item depending on the user who logged in to the system.
On my home page, there's a navigation region with some list entries in it. Currently its title is "Configuration".
If a specific user signs on, I'd like to change that title to "Reporting". How can I manage to implement such a behaviour.
I tried to get some results by using dynamic actions, but I couldn't get it working.
Thanks for your help in advance!

>
I'd like to dynammically change the name/label of a page item depending on the user who logged in to the system.Create a hidden item called PXX_LABEL (where XX is your page number).
Set the value of the hidden item via a PL/SQL process (when page loads, or when user logs in, or whatever).
In the "Label" field of the actual item, enter &PXX_LABEL. (notice the dot at the end).
When running the page, the label will dynamically be set to the value of the hidden item.

Dynamically change icon name of push button

Hi,
I would like to ask how to dynamically change the icon name attribute of a push button in dialog programming. What is the syntax for assigning an icon name during runtime?
I am currently doing a multiple selection function for KNA1-KUNNR.
Initially, the icon name is ICON_ENTER_MORE. When the user picks up more than one customer, it should automatically change to ICON_DISPLAY_MORE. How can I do this?
here's the code i currently have:
DESCRIBE TABLE kunnr_ran LINES l_kunnr.
IF l_kunnr > 1.
      g_add_multiple = 'X'.
BT_MULT_CUST-icon_name = 'ICON_DISPLAY_MORE'.
ELSEIF l_kunnr = 1.
     CLEAR g_add_multiple.
BT_MULT_CUST-icon_name = 'ICON_ENTER_MORE'.
ENDIF.
The name of my pushbutton is BT_MULT_CUST.
The code in ** is not correct. I don't know the syntax in SAP. But that is how it is done in VB for example.
Thank you.
che =)

If you have not found your answer already, please try the following:
1) In screen layout painter: for the pushbutton in question (i.e. pb_multi_select), mark the "Output field" on the program attributes tab in the attributes window for the pushbutton. Make sure that its visible length is at least 2 too. This will "gray out" the "Text" and other fields.
2) In the TOP INCLUDE of the module program: add a variable for the pushbutton that is of type "icons-text" and don't forget to include <icons>. Below is an example
INCLUDE <icon>
DATA: pb_multi_select TYPE icons-text.
3) In a module called in the PBO modules for the screen that needs its button changed, call the function "ICON_CREATE" and pass at minimum the name of the icon and the field that you specified in step 2. Below is an example using the icon "ICON_DISPLAY_MORE", "ICON_ENTER_MORE", and a flag variable "MULTI_SEL_INFO_EXISTS" that indicates if any multiple selection information has already been entered. It would be set by the program (not automatically, but by coding) prior to the "IF" statement:
IF multi_sel_info_exists = 'X'.
CALL FUNCTION 'ICON_CREATE'
      EXPORTING
         name = 'ICON_DISPLAY_MORE'
      IMPORTING
         result = pb_multi_select.
ELSE.
CALL FUNCTION 'ICON_CREATE'
      EXPORTING
         name = 'ICON_ENTER_MORE'
      IMPORTING
         result = pb_multi_select.
ENDIF.
You can change the button as you see fit with multiple different calls inside of "IF" or "CASE" statements. Please see documentation for "ICON_CREATE" for other parameters.
Hope this helps,
Brian

[Awesome] dynamically change tag names?

Is there a way to change the name of a tag displayed in the tag box widget during run time?, I dont really want dynamic tagging, but it is a solution if none other exist.

There's two patches for awesome that provide dynamic tagging; Eminent and Shifty.
See on the Archlinux wiki page for awesome: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Aw … ic_tagging
EDIT: Ah, I see that you'd like to rename existing tags... don't know if there's a way to do that, but it could be a feature of either Eminent or Shifty.
EDIT2: Aaaaand, it looks like Shifty offers a tag creation/rename prompt in the task list, so that should do what you want

PI/XI transport dynamic change of names - MESCLNT005 - MEQCLNT005 - MEP

Hi,
When transporting directory objects the auto generated channals GeneratedReceiverChannel_IDoc for sending idocs to from and to R/3 is normaly changed from MESCLNT005 -> MEQCLNT005 -> MEPCLNT005. But now when transporting a scenario this dynamic change is not done. What can be wrong?
BR
Claes

Hi,
The problem is that they are not renamed. They keep the MESCLNT005 eaven when it is transported to the quality system. But when transporting other scenarios it gets renamed from MESCLNT005 -> MEQCLNT005.

JSF dynamically changing components name or id.

I have a question that I am trying to find an answer.
I have a dataTable setup and in each column, I have a select table.
I would like to give these components specific names for each occurrence. For example:
<h:dataTable id="serverTable" rowClasses="data" border="0" value="#{serverBean.serversData}" var="server">
<h:selectOneListbox id="testCS" value="#{server.newImageName}" onchange="setDescr(this)" size="1">
<f:selectItems value="#{server.imageList}" />
</h:selectOneListbox>
</h:dataTable>
I want to do something list change the above line to
<h:dataTable id="server.serverName" rowClasses="data" border="0" value="#{serverBean.serversData}" var="server">
How would I do this..
I would like the output to look like:
<select id=�brasil�>
�
</select>
<select id=�oreo�>
�
</select>
Instead of
<select id=�serverTable�>
�
</select>
<select id=�serverTable�>
�
</select>

Dynamically Changing the Name and length of the Selection Screen Fileld

Dear Friends,
I want to incorporate a filtering option in my program,when the user selects the
column of a table control and clicks on filter option it has to open up a
new selection screen in which the selection option would be the selected
column.
for e-g if the user selects material the selection option would have the
characteristics of mara-matnr.
answers will be rewarded.
Thx.

Changing tab name in one component that used in different applications -FPM

Hi gurus,
I have an FPM component configuration, which have different tabs.
This component i have used in different applications.
I just want to know how can I dynamically change the name of one tab in different applicatins?
I want to change only the tab name. content in the tab is same.
For eg. If I open a Bid from Rfx, it should show "Rfx Information" as one tab name. But if i open a bid from Auction, it should show 'Auction Information'.
Content in this tab is same.
Is there any way to do that? Or shall I create different component config. for bid to use in Auction application and another one for RFx application?
Thanks,

Dynamically change column heading without Dashboard Prompt

Hi All,
My requirement is change the column heading dynamically in a report. I have achieved this through setting the presentation variable to the dashboard prompt.
I have 5 columns in the dashboard prompt. Out of these 5 columns, I want to use only 1 column as dashboard prompt.
But still I want to dynamically change the column heading of the other 4 columns based on the only 1 column selected in the dashboard prompt.
Is there anyway to achieve this?

You need to have some logic to change other 4 columns based on 1 selected column.. where you want put that logic?
BTW: Check these

Waveform Plot Name in Legend Reverts to default even if I change it with a Property node

I have a waveform chart where I am trying to name the plots different titles, so that they appear in the plot legend with a meaningful name, rather than 'Plot 1', 'Plot 2', etc.
However, no matter what I do, if I try to change plot 0's name to anything, the plot name changes for a split second, and then reverts to the name that it originally had. I can succesfully control the names of the other plots, but not plot zero. I have enclosed the VI with the graph control, which I cut and pasted from another VI.
It seems that the properties of this control (though it is not a custom control) are set, and that these settings take precedence over the Propery Node Instructions. Is this a bug, or am I missing something.
Try it for yourself.

Ignore attributes help says;
If FALSE (default), the plot names in the plot legend automatically adapt to the plot names in the dynamic or waveform data attributes. If TRUE, the plot names do not adapt to the dynamic or waveform data attributes. Change this property to TRUE if you want to change the plot names. This property applies only to graphs and charts with dynamic or waveform data.

Hi Friends,
for the above requirement i had write the bellow coding in the routine.. it is working.. but the problem is.. it was loading only the last file..(30 th file data only..)

          z3 = '.csv'.
          concatenate z1 z2 z3 into z4.
          p_filename = z4.
          z2 = z2 + 1.
    Enddo.
SO, CAN YOU PLZ SUGGEST ME.. when ever the file name was changing in the loop.. that automatically should load into the PSA ..

Change properties inside dynamic stack plots

Is there any way in LabView 8.2 now to change the properties of indicators inside an array or cluster? I want to change the properties of the waveforms inside DynamicStackPlots (http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/epd/p/id/3024). I see on this forum back in 2005 this was last discussed. I have also tried making a cluster of waveforms (instead of an array of clusters) from which you can at least separately access properties (allowing you to make specific waveforms not visible, yielding dynamic stack plot functionality). But you STILL cannot modify, say, the plot min range, label, scale... etc.
All ideas welcome!
Thanks,
Adam

Hi, Adam.
This question seems to pop up every once in a while. The answers are different for arrays and clusters:
Clusters
You can access the properties using an explicitly-linked property node (IE, one that takes a control reference as an input). You can obtain a reference to the controls in one of two ways:
- Right-click on the control (inside the cluster) and select Create»Reference.
- Create a property node for the cluster and access the Controls[ ] property. This will give you an array of references to the controls inside the cluster, and you can pass that into the explicitly-linked property node. (You may have to use a To More Specific Class VI if you want to access properties that apply to only graphs.)
Arrays
Since arrays are for holding a large quantity of indentical data types, the properties for all elements of the array must be the same. If you really want to sidestep this functionality, however, you can always create an array of references to controls. If you wanted to do that, you'd have to create all your controls individually and then create references for them one by one. Once the references are created you can pass them into a Build Array VI. To alter the properties of any particular control, you'd use an explicitly-linked property node and pass in the appropriate reference.
Let me know if any part of this isn't clear. Have a nice evening!

Can I detect a plot name change event in a plot legend?

I'd like to update a configuration file if a user changes the name of a plot in the plot legend.
The events I see for plots are: value change, autoscale range change, plot attribute change, and scale range change.
Plot attribute change does not seem to include anything that looks like plot name, and the others obviously don't contain that info either.
Is there any way to grab this event?
Thanks.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Jordan,
First off, remember that there is no single way to code anything, so I can offer one possible solution for you, but it is definitely not the only one.
LabVIEW does not have a property to check if the name has been changed through an event structure, but you can create your own events that LabVIEW can read. I found this really good document that might help you. Read through this and mess around with it and see if it gets you anywhere: Creating User Events
Once you get it to trigger the proper case, then its just getting that case to update the file you would like.
Another possible workaround, although not ideal, is to create a string control and have that be on top of the plot name. You would be able to then produce an event from that string changing value.
Hope this helps.
