File Dialog's using Remote Panels (via web server)

I am aware that the web server remote panel access will not allow us to open a file dialog box on a remote computer.  I have read people comment that you should create your own file dialog box, using LabVIEW to use instead of the file dialog box.
Has anyone actually done this?  I would like know if anybody has source code for this, rather than re-inventing the wheel.  Also, will the sub-vi actually just appear on the webserver? i.e. will it actually work?
Thanks for any help

Hi Emilie,
I have a program that I run on an industrial PC, with no keyboard, video or mouse.  We currently control the application using the web server.  We have a button to load and a button to save settings.  If the files are missing for the load & save, it pops up a file open dialog to choose the file to import.  However, while we are viewing the page this way, these dialog boxes do not work.
I would like to know if anyone has made up a file dialog box that I could use, that would display correctly in the web server's remote control.
Regards,
Slade

  • How can I change the default "file type" in the open file dialog when using Firefox on certain web pages?

    I work for a bankruptcy attorney. We use the Court's file upload to file our documents. When I am on the Court's site and I have to pick a file to upload, the "open file" dialog box pops up. In Firefox, the default "file type" is always "image" files. I need it to be "all files". How can I change this setting?

    Two observations.
    First — "Tools-> ...." is specific to Acrobat X and XI. It did not exist prior to Acrobat X.
    Second — Acrobat 9 Pro / Standard (nor earlier release) does not support viewing a PDF page containing a scanned image and performing a right-click  ... Save Image As. 
    The context menu provided by Acrobat 9 Pro with a right-click on a scanned image is:

  • How to display SubVI on secondary monitor using remote panels?

    I am trying to have a SubVI called from a Main VI open on a secondary monitor.  I am using Remote Panels to control my Main application, which is opened in a web browser on the secondary monitor.  I have tried setting the VI Properties - Window Run-Time Position - Monitor to "1" and also tried setting this value programatically using the Front Panel Property Node but neither seems to work.  My SubVI still appears on my primary monitor.
    I'm using LV 8.6.1 RT and my application is running on a CRIO.
    I'd appreciate any help.
    Thanks
    Dan
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Mike,
    All the SubVI does is prompt the user for some text.  The front panel is a simple string control.  The SubVI is called from my Main application (not using VI Server) and I have the Window Properties for the SubVI set so that the front panel opens when called, and closes when finshed.  The SubVI displays teh fornt panel when called but does not open a new browser window.  I have attached the SubVI in case you want ot have a look.

  • Hi, I am using HP11 and iPlanet web server. When trying to upload files over HTTP using FORM ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data" that are bigger than a few Kilobytes i get a 408 error. (client timeout).

    Hi, I am using HP11 and iPlanet web server. When trying to upload files over HTTP using FORM ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data" that are bigger than a few Kilobytes i get a 408 error. (client timeout). It is as if the server has decided that the client has timed out during the file upload. The default setting is 30 seconds for AcceptTimeout in the magnus.conf file. This should be ample to get the file across, even increasing this to 2 minutes just produces the same error after 2 minutes. Any help appreciated. Apologies if this is not the correct forum for this, I couldn't see one for iPlanet and Web, many thanks, Kieran.

    Hi,
    You didnt mention which version of IWS. follow these steps.
    (1)Goto Web Server Administration Server, select the server you want to manage.
    (2)Select Preference >> Perfomance Tuning.
    (3)set HTTP Persistent Connection Timeout to your choice (eg 180 sec for three minutes)
    (4) Apply changes and restart the server.
    *Setting the timeout to a lower value, however, may    prevent the transfer of large files as timeout does not refer to the time that the connection has been idle. For example, if you are using a 2400 baud modem, and the request timeout is set to 180 seconds, then the maximum file size that can be transferred before   the connection is closed is 432000 bits (2400 multiplied by 180)

  • When using the built in web server, is there a way to specify a different

    When using the built in web server, is there a way to specify a different error handler when you try to access a NON .CFM file? Right now I get the standard:
    java.io.FileNotFoundException: filename.ext
    Is there any setting to override this and direct the message to your own .cfm template? The missing template handler in the CF Admin work only for .cfm files.
    Thx

    The in-built web server for ColdFusion 8 is JRun. I am on ColdFusion 10, however, and so cannot offer hands-on advice. (CF10 replaced JRun with Tomcat.)
    My guess is that you have to modify the file {CF_ROOT}/WEB-INF/web.xml. Don't forget to create a back-up first!
    You may then proceed as follows.
    1) In the ColdFusion root (CF_ROOT), create the file myCustomFileNotFound.cfm. Give it some content, like
    My custom File Not Found page. Current time: <cfoutput>#now()#</cfoutput>
    2) Open the file {CF_ROOT}/WEB-INF/web.xml in a text editor. Add the following error-handling specification just before the end tag </web-app>:
    <error-page>
    <error-code>404</error-code>
    <location>/myCustomFileNotFound.cfm</location>
    </error-page>
    Save the file web.xml.
    3) Restart ColdFusion. Test by browsing to a URL requesting filename.ext

  • Using Tomcat as a web server at deployment stage

    Hi everyone,
    Does anyone of you ever used Tomcat as a web server at deployment stage?
    Has he then faced performance problems? or any other of any kind?
    Was he limited in the number of users to get an acceptable request process time? Is there a special configuration to set in the web.xml file?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.

    We have a Tomcat server in production (no Apache/IIS, Tomcat is on port 80) and it runs great. We have about 200 heavy use users on it. The server (version 4.18) is on a Windows 2000 Server / 512 Meg RAM / P3-800 DELL Box. Its connected to a SQL 2000 Server on another box through the built in Tomcat DBCP connection pool.
    We were initially going to run it through IIS; but we found it such a pain to set up we decided to leave it on Tomcat. For our application it probably would not have shown a difference in speed anyways.
    Its very fast and reliable for us.
    As far as tuning, there is a document here that will to you what to do; its very basic actually; just two changes.
    http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-4.1-doc/jasper-howto.html#Production%20Configuration
    Also, make sure you don't have any reloadable="true"'s in your Context's.

  • How to use addwatermarkfromfile on a web server

    how to use addwatermarkfromfile on a web server. Where do you put the js on a windows 2008 server, so that the URL can pick it up when a user opens a PDF.

    You don't.  JS files can exist in three places.
    1.  In the PDF file
    2.  In the User Profile
    3.  In the Application folders
    * Note while you can execute some browser based JS to the embedded viewer in a web browser all of the API calls are non-editing.

  • Using WebLogic as a Web Server

    Are there any disadvantages to using WebLogic as a Web Server also, if the
    majority of the site is not static HTML, as compared to plugging Weblogic
    into IIS?
    Thanks.

    There are a lot of benefits using WebLogic as the Web server. For one, it
    greatly simplifies deployment and management.
    If you already have a Webserver deploy, it sometimes makes sense to
    integrate us with that existing server.

  • Accessing JNDI fscontext provider .bindings file via Web Server

    The filesystem context provider produces a .bindings file. I've been referencing this over a web server with a URL of the form "file://<host><path>/.bindings".
    This works find with IIS. With Netscape Enterprise Web Server it won't show files with a name starting with a period (.).
    How can I make the fscontext .bindings file visible over a web server?

    Look for a configuration option regarding "hidden files". On UNIX, files beginning with a '.' are considered 'hidden', so I would guess they use that terminology.
    Good luck,
