Excel Set Color and Border VI: no fill?

If i use Excel Set Color and Border VI to modify the format of a cell, i will get white as my default color for my cell. However, I am looking for no fill. I don't want any color, since the color will hide the gird line. What do I get the no fill option for cell color in LabVIEW?
Kudos and Accepted as Solution are welcome!

I have to say I was waiting for this question (I have tried it and observed the same thing). The only solution I see is to use a combination of the RGT vis and ActiveX.

note, I have connected Cell1 and Cell2 of the _Worksheet Range method but it is probably sufficient to connect only Cell1 here.
edit: Good, your solution seems a lot more simple!

NI_Excel.Ivclass:Excel Set Cell Color and Border.vi Error

Hi
I was trying to compile a file and I kept getting an error. It zeroed in on the vi that was not compiling. I am attaching the vi to this message. The vi seems to be broken. And I am not sure how to fix this. Can some one please help me out with this. Thanks in advance.
I guess it is associated with Report Generation Toolkit. Please let me know if you need any more details.
This is the error message 'One or more required inputs to this function are not wired or are wired incorrectly. Show the Context Help window to see what the connections to this function should be.'

Report Generation broken after deployment - Excel Set Cell Color and Border.vi

Upon deployment, the Excel Set Cell Color and Border.vi became broken. After installing LV2010 SP1 to view the VIs in the deployment, I noticed that in the second case structure where the code draws the border using the BorderAround invoke node, there is an extra variant input parameter named 'Parameters'. Upon right-clicking, an option to 'Relink Invoke Node' appeared and after selecting this, the extra input disappeared and the VI was no longer broken.
Why does "Relink Invoke Node" appear? How do I create a deployment with this issue? Has anybody else experienced this? Why is the TestStand deployment so buggy?

Hi Ching-Hwa,
I have set up a test deployment here where I am deploying a workspace that contains a sequence file. This sequence file has a LabVIEW Action Step calling a VI that opens a new Excel file and simply calls the Excel Set Cell Color and Border VI. After deploying this, both the VI and my test sequence ran on the deployment machine without error. Therefore, I do have some more questions to more accurately reproduce what you are seeing.
First, what operating systems are you developing on and deploying to? Also, what license do you have for TestStand on the machine you are deploying to? If you have a development version, can you manually take the sequence file and VI to this machine and run it? I know you now have LabVIEW 2010 SP1 on your development machine, but if you have the development version of TestStand as well, it would be interesting to see if you copy the files over if you still see this behavior. Are you including the TestStand Engine in the deployment?
Can you open a blank VI on the deployment machine and add the Excel Set Cell Color and Border VI? It would also be interesting to see if this is not a product of the deployment, but rather an issue with something on the deployment machine itself. What version of the Report Generation Toolkit do you have on each machine? Also, what versions of Excel are you using on the development and deployment machine? Again, it would be helpful for me to know exactly what versions you have installed on both the development and deployment machines so that I can reproduce this as accurately as possible.
One last thing to try, too, would be to try deploying the VI by itself just to see if it also has the same behavior. Do you have the Application Builder in LabVIEW? If so, could you also try building an executable from the VI, create an installer, and deploy this to the deployment machine?
In regards to the "freezing" of code by removing the block diagrams, I do not believe this will be a proper work around in this case. While this removes the block diagram from actually being deployed along with the VI and restricts users from editing the code on the deployment machine, if something is getting changed in the compiled code upon deployment, this will not stop this from happening. This option is available more as a memory option to lower the size of the deployment as well as prohibit any users on the development machine from editing the block diagram themselves.
Thanks, Ching-Hwa! I look forward to your response so that I can continue trying to reproduce this issue. Have a great day!

Excel Set Cell Color and Border.viのbackground color 設定について

お世話になっております。
Microsoft オフィス用レポート生成ツールキットを使って
LabVIEWで収集したデータをExcelファイルで出力しようと考えています。
そこで質問が有ります。
題名のようにExcel Set Cell Color and Border.viのbackground color 設定についてです。
デフォルト（未配線）では白に設定されていますが、”色なし”に設定するにはどうしたら良いのでしょうか？
又、罫線色等を指定する数値設定に関しては、何処を調べたら良いのでしょうか？
ご教授の程、宜しくお願い致します。

ご質問にお答え致します。
色なしにしたいとの事ですが、こちらでExcel Set Cell Color and Border.viを使用して簡単なVIを実行させてみましたが色なしに設定することはできませんでした。
そこで質問したいのですが色なしにする理由というのはバックグラウンドが白のままだとセルの枠が見えなくなるからでしょうか。
もしそうであれば設定により枠をつけることができますのでそちらの方を試して頂けたらと思います。
方法としましては同じExcel Set Cell Color and Border.viを使い設定します。
アイコンの上部にピンク色のピンが２つあるかと思いますがそちらからセル内側の線、外側の線を設定できます。
添付した画像を参照して下さい。
画像のように設定しますとセルに黒色の枠ができると思います。
数値設定などに関しても質問されていますが、そちらはヘルプがありますのでそちらを参照頂けると詳しい情報がわかるかと思います。
LabVIEWでVIを開いている時に　ctrl + H を押しますと小さいウィンドウ「詳細ヘルプ」が立ち上がります、その状態でマウスのポインタをアイコンに重ねて頂きますと詳細ヘルプにアイコンの説明が記述されます。

Setting color and font

I need a way to set the properties of a text box--color and
font of the text inside it--upon an event, wether it's in the
timeline or off a button release or even LoadMovie would work. Is
this possible?
woodbury

Hi Firstodd,
1. Try re-assigning the text after you set the format:
blackjack.onPress = function() {
var oldText=this._parent.field.text;
var myFormat = new TextFormat();
myFormat.font = "BlackJack";
this._parent.field.setTextFormat(myFormat);
this._parent.field.text=oldText;
I haven't played around with the AS3.0 enough yet but I know
that the
2.0 one applies changes to new text so you need to add "new"
text to the
field by recopying the existing text. Basically...rewrite the
text with
the new format.
2. Your formats are stored in the text field's format
property. You can
either keep a reference to the original format you created
('myFormat'
above), or use:
var myFormat=this._parent.field.getTextFormat();
The text format has a variety of properties you can read such
as font,
size, color, and so on. Have a look at the TextFormat class
reference in
the Flash help. Most of these are completely optional so you
can
set/read whatever you want.
About the text, you simply read or write to the field's text
property
like we did in example 1:
this._parent.field.text="This is new text";
var fieldText=this._parent.field.text;
If you want the user to be able to input text into the field,
make it an
input field:
this._parent.field.type='input';
Otherwise, it's just dynamic:
this._parent.field.type='dynamic';
Do you want it selectable?
this._parent.field.selectable=true;
If it's tall enough to support multiple lines, do you want
multiline
support?
this._parent.field.multiline=true;
Automatic line wrapping on lines?
this._parent.field.wordWrap=true;
You can get even lower-level if you want. You can monitor
what the user
types character by character (assuming this is AS2.0):
function onFieldChanged(fieldRef:TextField) {
trace ('Field now has text: '+fieldRef.text);
this._parent.field.onChanged=this.onFieldChanged;
A field can also cut off if you exceed the available area.
You can set
auto-sizing so that the field adjusts itself to what you
type:
this._parent.field.autoSize='left';
//Use 'center' to keep the text aligned to the center of the
field, and
'right' for right alignment.
Dimensions of the typed text, in pixels, can be obtained
through:
this._parent.field.textWidth;
and
this._parent.field.textHeight;
(You can get the dimensions of the field using _width and
_height but
this is the field size, including borders).
Speaking of borders:
this._parent.field.border=true;
And background...
this._parent.field.backgroundColor=0x00FF00; //green
backrgound
this._parent.field.background=true; //turn it on
I could go on for pages...have a look at the TextField class
to see
everything else you can grab.
The TextField class is the actual field...TextFormat is the
optional
format that's applied to the text.
Hope that helps,
patrick

Excel cells colors by labiew 2009

Hi,
I have an application. Where in i have to change the colors of Cells in Excel as per the result after doing some manipulations on my data. Exampe
: if true then color to green and if False then color to Red.
I use Labview2009, Microsoft office 2007. and i am little confused, whether there is any module report generation toolkit for ms office, to use with Labview 2009.
Thanks in advance

Ofcourse you have. In Report generation toolkit you have a vi called Excel Set Color and Border.vi with this you can set the color of the cell.
The best solution is the one you find it by yourself

JEditorPane set color for desired chars

How can I set color and other parameters for desired chars in JEditorPane or it's better to use some other class.
Thanks.

Read this section from the Swing tutorial on "Using Text Components" and then decide which is best for you:

On value selected in dropdown, set border and border color to subform

Ok, I'm busy creating a form which has a dropdown field. There are five values inside the dropdown. I also have four subforms which contain tables and fields for each option in the dropdown except the first one. Now I want to set the border and border colour of the subform when the right value is chosen.
In the exit part I created the code as follows:
if (this.rawValue == "5"){
     this.resolveNode("TextfieldName").presence = "visible"; //This sets a text to visible...works like a charm
     Optie1.ui.oneOfChild.border.color.value = "255,153,0"; //After an example I found from Niall
     Optie1.ui.oneOfChild.border.color.thickness = "0.0200in";
I changed this into Optie1, that's the name of the subForm. Somehow it doesn't apply it on the subform. I know I'm doing something wrong, but can't quite find what I want on the forums. Anyone any idea on this?

Okay, managed to solve this myself by playing around a bit with the code.
It should be:
Optie1.border.edge.color.value and Optie1.border.edge.thickness.

Is there a way to change the color of the Bezier Curves and points to a different color other than black I find it perplexing while setting points and curves working on a photo that needs to be separated from it's background for placement on transparent

Is there a way to change the color of the Bezier Curves and points to a different color other than black I find it perplexing while setting points and curves working on a photo that needs to be separated from it's background for placement on transparent backgrounds. Any thoughts?

Yes. Well, sort of: instead of a "path", set the pen tool to "shape" in the tool properties. Then set the fill colour to transparent, and the stroke colour to the colour you want. You can also set the stroke width.
Not perfect, but at least you can see the path more clearly - the anchor points and handles still remain the default colour. Open the path panel, and right-mouse click the path shape to create a selection based on that shape. The Paths panel menu also allows you to create work paths based on that shape.
Unfortunately when you try to move the handles the black thin outline appears again until you release the mouse button.
This is one of several things that works better in Photoline: in Photoline, once the path is set to a specific colour, editing the path uses the actual colour and stroke width. which is extremely handy for creating path based selection with awkward background colours and/or a high resolution screen. In Photoline the handles and bezier points are also much, much larger, which makes it rather simpler to work with as well - especially on a higher resolution screen. And when selected the handles and points are a clear red with a black outline - again easier to spot and identify. I just works better, in my opinion.

Color Swatches in Toolbar for Fill and Stroke are not working properly.

The color swatches in toolbar for fill and stroke are not functioning as they should. When I select an object on the artboard, the swatches display fine in the toolbar for what they should be. However, when I double-click on those swatches from within the toolbar to modify the color, the color which comes up is #000000 instead of the actual color it should be.
I am using 16.2.1 (cloud) for Mac OS 10.8.2
I've submitted a bug report, but want to know if anyone else has had this issue and what they did to resolve the issue.
Also, the eyedropper tool is buggy and occasionally places the #000000 into an object instead of the characteristics the eyedropper is selecting. I don't have any hidden layers or weird groupings, it just randomly decides when it is going to work or not.
I've never had these issues on previous versions of illustrator and have been proficient in all versions since 2007.

Double click the eyedropper, and turn on appearance, is off by default.
For your #000000 color problem that also likely is related to appearance setting. You may have for example have some with #000000 at the character level, and another color at the type level.

Setting font and color TextItems

This script is failing to set font, and how can I set font color?; I am new to PS Scripting:
     var originalUnit = preferences.rulerUnits
      preferences.rulerUnits = Units.INCHES
     var docRef = app.documents.add( 11, 17, 300, "Test", NewDocumentMode.CMYK)
    MyLayer = docRef.artLayers.add()
     MyLayer.kind = LayerKind.TEXT
     var myFont = app.fonts.getByName("ArialMT");
     // Set the contents of the text layer.
     var textItemRef = MyLayer.textItem
     textItemRef.font = myFont;
     textItemRef.size = UnitValue(36, 'pt');
     textItemRef.font = '_Aviano-Regular';
     textItemRef.style = "Italic";
     textItemRef.contents = "Sample Text";
     // Restore original ruler unit setting
      app.preferences.rulerUnits = originalUnit
Thanks

The font needs to be the postscript name, this will give you a list of them.
var Dlog =
"dialog{text:'Script Interface',bounds:[100,100,500,270],"+
"FontName:DropDownList{bounds:[30,40,370,60]},"+
"PostScriptName:DropDownList{bounds:[30,100,370,120]},"+
"statictext0:StaticText{bounds:[40,10,200,30] , text:'Font Name'},"+
"statictext1:StaticText{bounds:[40,70,141,87] , text:'Postscript Name'},"+
"button0:Button{bounds:[140,130,240,150] , text:'Ok' }}";
win = new Window(Dlog,"Use the Postscript Name in your script.");
var item;
var item2;
for (var i=0,len=app.fonts.length;i<len;i++) {
item = win.FontName.add ('item', "" + app.fonts[i].name);
item2 = win.PostScriptName.add ('item', "" + app.fonts[i].postScriptName);
win.FontName.selection = win.FontName.items[0] ;
win.PostScriptName.selection = win.PostScriptName.items[0] ;
win.FontName.onChange = function() {
win.PostScriptName.selection = win.PostScriptName.items[parseInt(this.selection)] ;
$.writeln(win.PostScriptName.items[parseInt(this.selection)]);
win.PostScriptName.onChange = function() {
win.FontName.selection = win.FontName.items[parseInt(this.selection)] ;
win.center();
win.show();
Here is your code with colour addded...
     var originalUnit = preferences.rulerUnits
      preferences.rulerUnits = Units.INCHES
      var FillColor = new SolidColor;
    FillColor.rgb.hexValue = 'ff0000';
     var docRef = app.documents.add( 11, 17, 300, "Test", NewDocumentMode.CMYK)
    MyLayer = docRef.artLayers.add()
     MyLayer.kind = LayerKind.TEXT
     var myFont = "ArialMT";
     // Set the contents of the text layer.
     var textItemRef = MyLayer.textItem
     textItemRef.font = myFont;
     textItemRef.size = UnitValue(36, 'pt');
     textItemRef.font = myFont;
     //textItemRef.style = "Italic";
     textItemRef.fauxItalic = true;
     textItemRef.contents = "Sample Text";
     textItemRef.color = FillColor;
     // Restore original ruler unit setting
      app.preferences.rulerUnits = originalUnit

Guide to set the cell background color and foreground color

hi all,
I am using a tool called POI for excel from java. IF any body know POI please tell me the various colors --------> equivalent Short number. I need the color and equavlent number for better usage.
please respond as early as possible.

Hi
Use the class HSSFColor at org.apache.poi.hssf.util and the inner classes defined, for example (sample form jakarta.poi):
style.setFillForegroundColor(HSSFColor.ORANGE.index);
or for a cell
cell.setFillForegroundColor(HSSFColor.ORANGE.index);
If you need know what index for a color may be at source code you can see the implementation.
Hope this helps

Scanned pdf image into Illustrator (Live Tracing,filling colors and styles)

Hi,
I am a newbie in the forum.My first ever post. I have specific issue which needs your opinion. I have scanned a black and white sketch image which I bring on to Illustrator. The problem start after live tracing.
After live tracing I need to fill it with a certain color (which I find absent in swatches).
I have to update these sketches into an Indesign brochure which already has the original imported Illustrator sketches (done by some one else). So the original imported Illustrator sketch files have a color filled in and particular chalk like impression (style).
So the problem is that I do not know how to fill the live traced sketch outlines with a color and then bring in a chalk like style to it.
I need assistance badly..I have hit a bad road block.
Thank you.

I have never used the live paint feature, sorry.
I typically always create everything with the pen tool, and some basic shapes, I draw a shape and then fill it with a color, gradient, or a stroke. This can see limiting at first not using a lot of filters but in the long run the precision control is worth it. I design entire websites this way, for example these are two sites I am currently working on….

Lots and lots of fun illustrator work.
