Font size on Windows 7 with LabVIEW 2009

Hello,
after installing labview 2009 on windows7, I have a problem with the font size of my old application written in 8.6.
the Application Font has seemed to default to another style under windows7 so I searched the forum for the default font under XP when I used lv 8.6. Tahoma 13pt seemed to the correct choice, however when i changed all default fonts to Tahoma 13pt it helped and they look very similar, but the Tahoma under windows7 is slightly longer that the original and it looks like there is some sort of font smoothing going on... perhaps windows is doing its "cleartype" thing by default and influencing its length (thou i thought this shouldnt be the case).
This small difference is causing havoc in my GUI as objects are being resized in a bad way.
Please see the screenshot for an example of my concerns
Another question on the side... is there a Font I can use that will keep the appearance and size over all OSs?
Any help would be appreciated...
Best Regards
Alex.

Actually this problem affect LabVIEW itself even while editing!
Many of NI's screens suffer from the same problem. Configuring events is one of the most obvious cases. Since teh edit events screen does not allow for resizing, there are some events that you can only guess what they are.
I tried reporting this but the AE wanted me to spoon feed screen shots and ....
I think what really irks me over this problem is that I purchased a laptop with the biggest screen available just to let me do LV and in the end LV can't handle the laptop.

Annoying font size in windows title

First time I installed Arch 7.2 I had small fonts in Gnome windows title, so I had to set Font size of windows titles to 12 (10 its the default).
After some upgrade, this was fixed, and I could set font size to 10.
Tonight I did another upgrade, and window title fonts became small again, so I had to configure font size at 12 again.
Any idea whats broken this? its not an important problem at all, but its kinda annoying...

The obvious thing to look at is what did you upgrade?

Select new / I/O Server… and then OPC Client, the following error appears: Unable to browse OPC Server from the selected machine.Error -2147467262 occurred at GetOPCServerList.viPossible reason(s):LabVIEW: (Hex 0x80004002) No such interface supported.

Is this an issue with Windows 7 having both installation folders for 32 bit (C:\Program Files (x86)) and 64 bit (C:\Program Files)?
I had an application built on an XP machine and installed on a Windows 7 machine which was looking for files in C:\Program Files when they were actually installed in C:\Program Files (x86) - because it was 32-bit application. After installation I had to move the files from 1 location to the other to make it work.

Increase font size in Windows 7 Photoshop Elements 11?

I'd have thought (since this has been a problem since 9 and that HD displays are fairly common now) it would have been addressed. I still can't find a way to increase the font size in PE 11, though. Am I missing something? It seems the menu fonts have increased in size in proportion to what Windows font size I'm using, but all the other fonts in PE 11 are still too tiny to read meaning (unless I am missing something) the software is still unusable (unless I sacrifice resolution).

Oh well, at least I only downloaded the trial I guess. I feel sorry for anyone who buys this expecting it to be fully compatible with HD monitors. Adobe are being lazy, I think, expecting people to lower the screen resolution. I just checked PC World and 8 out of 10 of the most popular monitors were full 1080 HD. I wonder how many will go to GIMP and not return?

Palm Desktop 4.1.4 font size for Windows XP

I run Windows XP and I have the most up-to-date Palm Desktop v. 4.1.4. However, my Palm desktop font is so small I can barely read it. I need to make the font larger so it's readable for my eyes. I was advised to click on Tools, then go to preferences and change the font size there. Unfortunately, Windows does not offer this solution. What do I do now?? JIm

Using "regedit" I was able to change the font size larger for use with the Palm Desktop 4.1.4 software and Window XP.
Run "regedit" and export (save) a backup copy for safety
    File > Export
Search for "FontSmall"
    Edit > Find > Find what > FontSmall
Click on FontSizeGeneral and change the "Value data" to 16
Exit "regedit"
    File > Exit
Run Palm Desktop software and enjoy the new legible font size!
Notes:
1) The location of the Palm Desktop software on my system using "regedit" is:
        HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\U.S. Robotics\Pilot Desktop\Core
        * Your location of the Palm Desktop software may differ.
2) I tested this on monitors using resolutions of 1280 x 1024 and 1024 x 768
        The font size is noticeably readable and much, much better
3) You may also change the font family from the default (Arial) to another, such as Verdana, etc.
        FontCard    (Changes the font family in the side panels) (FontCard is a regedit value)
        FontGeneral    (Changes the font family for most of the program fonts) (FontGeneral is a regedit value)
4) Operating System: Windows XP Pro
        Palm Desktop v4.1.4

Potential Bug with LabVIEW 2009, Report Generation Toolkit, and MS Office 2003

We have discovered an issue with the above listed software. Specifically this pertains to Print Report.vi in the Report Gen palette. Basically, we have discovered that with Office 2003 installed the VI will error out. We've been using it in an executable, and the executable physically fails (and asks us to report an error to Microsoft). With Office 2007 we don't have a problem. We've tried building the examples into executables, and those work because they are printing HTML reports.
Also, we have converted back to LabVIEW 8.6 and rebuilt the executable and installed and it works perfectly. Its on the combination of LabVIEW 2009 and Office 2003 that seems to fail.

yeah, we had seen that, and been told about it by another user. we tried, to no avail. we still have ended up having to migrate back to 8.6.1 to get the executable to run properly.

Build Specifications gone with LabVIEW 2009

I'm using LabVIEW 2009 and I still have the same problem as described in the following post (where all the answers were for older LabVIEW versions):
http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW/build-specifications-gone/m-p/625815
When I move a LabVIEW project from one PC to another, parts of the build specifications are gone. In the specification for the executable I have to redefine the start-up VI, the included files and the icon.
Is this a known issue and is there a fix for it?

Hello,
this might be a corrupt project file. Does this only happen with this project?
If so, then I'd suggest recreating the project and the build specifications on the original PC and trying to migrate it again to the other PC.

NI Goop Wizard not working with LabVIEW 2009

I have added the NI Goop Wizard using VIPM (VI Package Manager) into my LabVIEW 2009 SP1 installation however it is not working. Whenever I select Create New Class from the drop down (same applies to menu selection) nothing happens and the drop down returns to it's default selection. I have tried this on 2 PC's both with 2009 SP1 installed, both exhibit the same unwanted behaviour. One of the PC's also has LabVIEW 8.2.1 installed also with NI GOOP Wizard and this installation works fine.
Anybody using GOOP Wizard with 2009 ?
Cheers

Hi there Chris,
Off the top of my head it's my understanding that NI GOOP wizard is legacy software that was made redundant by the native GOOP tools in LabVIEW 8.2.0 and later.
In light of this it's a bit confusing that everything is working fine with 8.2.1 for you. Is there a version to the NI GOOP Wizard that you are using?
I had a search across the website but I'm afraid I haven't found any other examples or poeple using the GOOP Wizard in LabVIEW 2009 or 2010.
Kind Regards.

SourceGear Vault with LabVIEW 2009 gives error

Hi,
I try to evaluate SourceGear Vault for version control in LabVIEW 2009.
At their website they say that Vault is compatible with Microsoft SCC interface, but as soon as I select "SourceGear Vault Classic Client" as provider in LabVIEW I get the error "Error -2924 occurred at prefPage_Source Control.vi".
Does anyone successfully use Vault with LabVIEW?
Any ideas of things I might need to do to get i to work?

The text of the error is "An error occurred while opening a source control project or accessing a file.
The specified path is invalid." Some providers are expecting certain values in parameter calls based on assumptions on how they will be used by various IDEs (mainly Visual Studio). It is possible that valid information passed by LabVIEW to SourceGear's provider does not match what they expect. This would require testing on both LabVIEW's and SourceGear's side to determine what is going on. It would probably be a good idea to start with SourceGear's support to see if they can identify what is invalid.

BSOD with labview 2009 sp1 on windows xp on dual core intel computer stop code F4

I have 14 test stations with the Labview runtime engine installed. These stations run 24 hours a day, or are supposed to, Every week, on average, one of the computers gets a blue screen of death, with a stop code of F4. It seems fairly random which computer it is.
Some other details:
Labview version 2009 sp1, and visa 5.02 installed
The computers are brand new Intel D510MO computers, with wester digital solid state hard drives. (Fanless)
XP service pack 3.
The computers aren't overheating, The ram is good, to power is stable and filtered.
The computers seem to run fine without ni software installed.
The only other thing installed is a serial port driver for a usb serial port converted.
We've caught one blue screen with no Labview executable running.
I've run a batch to turn off all non-essential Labview services, but it still seems to happen.
I've been working this problem for months. Any ideas?

If I am reading this correctly you have ruled out your LabVIEW program as the cause and you think it is one of the non-essential services. Which ones are still running?
Have you looked in the Windows error logs?

For the hard drive, there is the Get Volume Info function. I know there's a trick to get the RAM, but it is eluding me right now.

How can you increase/change the font size using window.print

We don't use BI/XML Publisher.
I have a button with an URL Redirect to print.
javascript:window.print();
How can I give the user the option to print with a different font or larger size or optionally to set it the same for everyone?
thanks
John

Hi,
I would think that, generally speaking, users would print from a Printer Friendly page. This is a page template that has most of the top and bottom (that is, the tabs and footers) of a normal page removed. You can switch a page to a Printer Friendly one fairly easily - see: Re: Print Report without Template for an example. As this is a separate page template, you can use printer-only styling. The downside is that you can only have one Printer Friendly page in your application, so you have to be careful to make any styling generic.

How to change font size and window size for a pop-up Message Window?

Hello,
I am trying to display a very important message to alert our tester or any user when there is an emergency and they have to stop the test they are doing. I really desire to use larger message window/fonts to do this.
I have tried Display Message To User and converted it to SubVI, but no luck yet. I thought SubVI might work. But when it's displayed, the original Pop-up Message Window sat right on the SubVI panel. When I then clicked OK to close the Message Window, it closed the SubVI panel as well.
Are Text Indicator and its Visible Node the only way to make this happen? If yes, could someone teach me how to pause the program execution like Display Message To User when the program is waiting for user to click OK to continue?
Thanks So Much!

Hello,
Why don't you create your own vi and customize it.
