Exit loop on button state change

Hello I've attached VI that executes states Setup/Measure/Save/Print and Wait if all other states are finished. How can I implement feature, that if buttons dB/Ohm and IF AUTO/MAN changes their values program execution immediately goes to Setup case.
For example: Measure state is exeuted... I press the button dB/Ohm or IF AUTO/MAN ... Measure state is left in the midle of execution and execution goes to Setup state.... after Setup state is finished program execution goes to the the interrupted state e.g Measure state.

You will need to use a producer / consumer architecture.
Here is something I did (its messy, sorry don't have the time to clean it up) to demonstrate what can be done. This is a good architecture for you to follow as it can address most of UI based applications efficiently.

Button state change event

Hi,
i need a simple way to check not the state of a button but i need a signal if the state is changed.
And is it possible i need the same to check if a number changed.
Thanks
Florian

Typically, you would use a shift register, then compare the current with the previous value using "not equal". It will be true whenever the data has changed from the previous iteration.
You could also use an event strucure with "value changed". It will fire whenever the control is changed by the operator.
As an alternative, there is an openG tool has a "data changed?" node for this purpose. ( www.openg.org ).

PSD Rollover Button with image in front stops button from changing state

I have a wide PSD button that changes state when rolled over. I would like to place a PNG image with transparency in some areas over the top of it so that the rollover button shows through the transparent areas of the PNG.
How can you get it to do the rollover effect when the user mouses over the bit of the button that the image is in front of? Is ther a way of making the PNG 'invisible' to the mouse?
I know I could redesign the button so that it includes the image but I'm trying to keep file sizes and load times to a minimum, I use this button a lot on my website with a different on each, and having that number of individual buttons would result in a bloated, slow-loading website.

Hi Abhishek
Thanks for your reply. I was able to achieve the effect I wanted by having the PNG and the PSD Button with the same link and then grouping them. This means I can mouse over the PNG and still get the PSD rollover effect, which is perfect.
However I also have another similar problem. I have some different PSD Rollover Buttons which have some text in front of them (basically it's the button label). On some of these buttons when you roll over the text it prevents the rollover state of the button, and on other buttons the rollover effect occurs as it should, and there doesn't appear to be any consistency about which does what. Grouping or ungrouping doesn't appear to make a difference. Can you help?

When user enters and exits one movieclip, button changes color

Hello,
I currently have a slideshow-style navigation site. There are five buttons on the bottom and when the user clicks each button, it triggers a nested movieclip to play. I would like the button to be highlighted when the corresponding movieclip is playing, but when they click another button and another movieclip plays, I want the button to go back to its original color.
The problem is that the movieclips that are playing are nested two levels down and the buttons have to be on the main timeline. I think I might need an event listener to see if a certain nested movieclip is playing, to know to change the button color. It seems to easy but I can't figure it out, thanks for any help!

Hi again! Sorry, I keep changing my mind on whether I've figured this out or not. Now I need the buttons to become disabled when they are highlighted and active. I tried putting a: btns[i].enabled = false; in the else part of the for-else statement and it didn't work. Where would I put that kind of code? Thanks!
stop();
//attach sounds
Sound1 = new Sound();
Sound1.attachSound("Sound1");
Sound2 = new Sound();
Sound2.attachSound("Sound2");
Sound3 = new Sound();
Sound3.attachSound("Sound3");
//buttons
//nav buttons
b1.onRelease = function() {
    gotoAndStop(1);
    stopAllSounds()
    activeBtn(b1);
b2.onRelease = function() {
    gotoAndStop(2);
    stopAllSounds();
    activeBtn(b2);
b3.onRelease = function() {
    gotoAndStop(3);
    stopAllSounds();
    activeBtn(b3);
//array for highlighted button state
var btns:Array = [b1, b2, b3];
function activeBtn(mc:MovieClip):Void{
   for(var i:Number=0; i<btns.length; i++){
      if(btns[i]!=mc){
         btns[i].gotoAndStop("inactive");
      }else{
         btns[i].gotoAndStop("active");

Change nav button state when using SSI

I am going to be redesigning a website soon and I am going to use SSI's. Is there a way to change the state of the nav button in relation to the page that is being viewed if the nav bar is in the SSI? If not, what is the best way to achieve this?
I was thinking that the pages specific to the nav buttons (Home, Contact, etc) can not have the nav bar in the SSI and it must be in the main file. If the design is changed in the future the pages containing specific nav button states must be changed individually.
Thanks for any input.

<script src="SpryAssets/SpryDOMUtils.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
This links to the file that is required for the Spry Element Selector
function InitPage(){
Spry.$$('#MenuBar1 li').forEach(function(node){
    var a=node.getElementsByTagName("a")[0]; // finds all a elements inside the li, but we only want the first so [0]
    if(a.href == window.location){
        Spry.Utils.addClassName(node,"activeMenuItem");
This function checks the list items (li) within div ID MenuBar1 and retrieves the the link within the anchor (a) element. If the link (a.href) is the same as the URL (window.location) then add a class called activeMenuItem to the list item.
Spry.Utils.addLoadListener(InitPage);
When the page loads, this will trigger the function
.activeMenuItem a {
    background:#a59a84 !important;
    color:#ffffff !important;
We need to add style rules for the anchor element within the list item with the class of activeMenuItem.

Problems closing several loops in a state machine with an event structure

I am having some problems closing three loops running in parallel in a state machine. I have one loop for an event structure to monitor user controls to change the state. The other loop is the state machine which will control an actuator, and the third loop is for data aquisition/analysis. I want to be able to hit the stop button and go to a "shutdown" state where I can home the actuator then close the loops and finally go to the last "shutdown" subdiagriam in the flat sequence structure. Currently when hitting the stop button it goes into the shutdown state and will end the state machine loop but it appears the other loops are not closing until I hit the stop button again. Could this be due to using a local variable for the boolean to control the loop conditions? I attached a screenshot of the block diagram. Any advice would be great!

You have a classic race condition due to overuse of local variables. If the stop event fires in the upper loop, the local variable connected to the loop termination condition has already been read (it is false!). This means that the upper loop will iterate once more and again wait at the event structure for the next event. At this time, the local variable connected to the loop termination is TRUE, but the loop cannot complete until the event fires again, for example if you press the stop button once more.
The correct way is to connect the terminal of the stop button across the right event frame directly to the loop termination terminal. Now it will get the TRUE value correctly once the stop event fires for the first time.

Looping through SQL statements in shell script

Hello members,
I'm working on the Solaris environment and the DB i'm using is Oracle 10g. Skeleton of what I'm attempting;
Write a ksh script to perform the following. I have no idea how to include my sql query within a shell script and loop through the statements. Have therefore given a jist of what I'm attempting, below.
1. Copy file to be processed (one file at a time, from a list of 10 files in the folder ).
for i in *
           do
           cp $i /home/temp[/CODE]2 . Create a snapshot(n) table : Initialize n = 1 -- -- To create my snapshot table and inserts records in SQL
create table test insert account_no, balance from records_all;3. Checking if the table has been created successfully:
select count(*) from snapshot1 -- query out the number of records in the table -- always fixed, say at 400000
if( select count(*) from snapshot(n) = 400000 )
echo " table creation successful.. proceed to the next step "
else
echo " problem creating table, exiting the script .. " 4. If table creation is successful,
echo " select max(value) from results_all " -- printing the max value to console
5. Process my files using the following jobs:
./runscript.ksh - READ -i $m ( m - initial value 001 )
./runscript.ksh - WRITE -i $m ( m - initial value 001 -- same as READ process_id )
-- increment m by 1
6. Wait for success log
tail -f log($m)* | -egrep "^SUCCESS"7. looping to step1 to :
Copy file 2 to temp folder;
create snapshot(n+1) table
Exit when all the files have been copied for processing.
done -- End of Step 1
Pointers on getting me moving will be very valuable.
thanks,
Kris

Hi,
Are you inserting the data from file or from some table.
If it is from file, I suggest sql loader would be better, I suppose.
If it is from table, then something like this
for i in *
           do
sqlplus username/password@db_name<<EOF
            create table test select * account_no, balance from records_all;
EOF
exit

Radio button state on region load...

Is there a way to set the radio button state (click event) on a region load? The default value of 0 (read-only) works when clicked, but doesn't when the page initially loads, and it's like the button click event needs to take place at the region load time. The values are 1 and 0 set statically if that matters, and the hidden value does not get changed when the radio button with the value of 1 is selected.
The button makes the button visible when 'edit' is selected and the button disappears when 'read-only' is selected which is the expected behavior.
I do have a condition on the 'save' button for the value to not be zero which is based on the value from the radio button.
My gut says it'll be a region header attribute or Java Script sort of thing and I've not found anything so far, and I'm hoping there's an Apex guru out there that has a recommendation.
Thanks in advance!
Matt

I used some source I found on Denes' web site and added the call, but it didn't yield the result I was hoping for.
<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
$s('P8_RADIO_BUTTON','0');
function f_showhideButtonRadio(pThis, pValue)
{ var show_or_hide = html_RadioValue(pValue);
if (show_or_hide == 0)
{html_HideElement(pThis);}
else
{html_ShowElement(pThis);}
function f_showhideButtonSelect(pThis, pValue)
{ var show_or_hide = $x(pValue).value;
if (show_or_hide == 0)
{html_HideElement(pThis);}
else
{html_ShowElement(pThis);}
</script>
I'm quite new to the Java Script in Apex, so if I hosed this up, please let me know. Also, does that set the click event on or does that just set the value? The reason I ask is with a 0 or 1 it yielded the same result.
Thanks!

I am trying to do a blank composition widget, but it keeps ignoring my state changes for the trigger. How can I have my state changes still work for things placed in the trigger?

So below is what I have so far. The menu is working perfectly, thanks to a few Youtube tutorials. And everything is linked correctly. But the only thing is that the "WORK" button doesn't respond to the state change that is set up for it. I tried applying the state change before I placed it in the trigger area, and after. Neither seems to make it work.
The goal state change is basically that the text "WORK" will turn white, and the white space within the teal stroke will also turn teal. So, the colors will reverse. I have a link next to it, "ABOUT" that is currently successfully doing it. I guess if it's not possible then I will have to figure out another design..but I'd like to see if there is a way to do it!

I believe you are trying to get a color state for composition when its active ? please publish the site and provide the url to have a look.
Thanks,

Canvas ID not being used when Canvas is created by State change

After logging into my app I do a State change, which adds a
few more buttons on a Linkbar and adds two more sections to a
ViewStack. For the initial Canvas sections, I have an ID associated
with each. Upon clicking a button, for example, I can alert on the
value associated with each ID.
However, for the new Canvases that are added, this is not
working, even though an ID is associated with the Canvas. Instead,
it is just telling me "Canvas355", where the number is different
every time the app is initiated.
Does anyone have any ideas about this?
Thanks.
Chris

Hoepfully this will help. It's just the function to pop up
the help window, but I put in an Alert.show to test with for now.
private function helpWindow():void {
helpinfopop = helpinfo(PopUpManager.createPopUp(this,
helpinfo, false));
helpinfopop.title="Help";
helpinfopop.showCloseButton=true;
helpinfopop.hscreen=allinfo.selectedChild.name;
Alert.show(allinfo.selectedChild.name);
PopUpManager.centerPopUp(helpinfopop);
"allinfo" is the ID of the main ViewStack. What happens, if I
just talk about the Alert.show function, is that for the 3 primary
Canvases, it will show the ID I defined. For the new Canvases after
the State change, it shows the random name/number. If I review the
config, every single Canvas has an ID set.
Thoughts?
Thanks for all the help so far.

Test state changes

In the video Create rollover effects with the State Button widget | Adobe Muse CC tutorials he says that he can have a state change if he hovers over the text. My question, how does he accomplish this? I have manually created a menu, and wanted the text to change on rollover and active states. Is there a way to accomplish this? I tried changing the states in the hyperlinks: text link styles, but those aren't working either. At this time I am using frames on the text box to accomplish this, but it's not what I had originally envisioned. Yabo Productions for reference.

Hi,
Kindly select the text frame that you want to change the state for, open the States panel (Window menu> States); and you make the desired changes, then.
Let me know if it is something else that you were looking for.

How are you doing this?
The text area of a web app has HTML encoding and is all fine.
If you make a multiline custom text field the encoding remains.
You need to provide a bit more information because the above do keep their encoding.

Callback for a state change on digital Input 6025E

Hello All,
I need to have a callback function invoked when a state change occurs on serveral digital inputs (interlocks, kill button etc.).
I am using a PCI-6025E and traditional NI-DAQ. For test purposes I have connected the output P3.0 to the input P4.0 using a SCB-68
terminal block and initialize the ports in the following manner:
void initfunc()
long nPattern;
DIG_Prt_Config(1, 3, 0, 1); /* port 3 output */
DIG_Prt_Config(1, 4, 0, 0); /* port 4 input */
DIG_Out_Prt(1, 3, 0xff); /* set all outputs high */
DIG_In_Prt(1, 4, &nPattern); /* returns 0xff */
Config_DAQ_Event_Message (1, 1, "DI4", 8, 0xffff, 0xffff, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, (unsigned long)(&myCallback)); /* callback on state change */
Now later in my program I perform the following (again as a test) when a button is pushed on a dialog box.
CDigioDlg:nKillBtn()
DIG_Out_Line(1, 3, 0, 0);
DIG_In_Prt(1, 4, &nPattern); /* returns 0xfe */
My callback funtion never gets called on the state change. Now looking at the documentation for the Config_DAQ_Event_Message it says that
it notifies traditional NI-DAQ applications when the status of an asynchronous DAQ operation (initiated by a call to DAQ_Start, DIG_Block_Out, WFM_Group_Control, and so on) meets certain criteria you specify.
Eventually this routines will need to monitor these input lines continuously within a DLL. I want to call an initialization function within
the DLL to configure the board and callbacks then return. I want the callback functions within the DLL to handle these state changes.
Any help would be greatly appreciated,
John

Hello John. Thank you for contacting National Instruments. It looks like you are using the callback incorrectly. I found an example that uses the callback in Visual C++ with Traditional DAQ. This isn't the same setup as you are using, but it should give you a good idea of how to setup the callback. Please let me know if you have any questions. Have a great day!

NI-6023 digital inputs miss line state-changes

I am using the NI-6023 DAQ to monitor digital lines. Occasionally (less than 1% of the time) the 6023 misses a low-to-high line state-change from . LabVIEW 6.1 polls the 6023 every 5 mS. The digital lines are normally low. When they go high, they remain high for only 50 mS.
LabVIEW 6.1
Windows 2000 Professional

Hi Rchrd,
If you're using a loop to poll your digital line, it's possible that you're not actually polling every 5 ms, since this is software timed. The speed is software/computer dependent, hence can depend on factors such as processor activity. Software timed I/O is normally used for low-speed applicatiosn that do not need hardware timed precision. You can do some troubleshooting by checking to see if there's a certain condition under which the state change is missed, and making sure you don't have other applications runing.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,
Lesley Y.
