Font type of front panel.

Hi!
In the indicators of the front panel, I have used a type of font "letra.ttf" that is not common. I have made an executable and when installing it in a pc that doesn't contain this font type, the indicator appears with other type of font, no "letra.ttf". 
How could I solve this problem, could I add this font type to the executable?
Greetings!
Garrigos.

Hi:
Yes, the font files in Windows are located in the C:\Windows\Fonts and
yes, if you copy a font file to that dir the font gets registered in
the OS so that the applications can use it.  I was unsure about it
but I've just  done it, so just do it!

  • How to change font type of front panel indicator

    Hello,
    I want to change numeric indicator font type to LED style. I've got the font. But, how can I change the font type of Indicator independently, i.e. not by changing application font type. I've checked the Property Node available are only color, size, justification, but type.
    Yoppy.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Go
    LED >Mouse right-click> Create >>> Property Node >>> Label >>> Font >>> Name
    then (or)
    Numeric >Mouse right-click> Create >>> Property Node >>> Numeric Text >>> Font >>> Name
    Regards.

  • Dr. Damien's Developmen​t - The Xylophone Project X - Font Issues and Front Panel Layout

    The Show Raw Data button was made active in this installment. Doing this in a robust fashion was more involved than one might think, due to font and platform issues (remember I want to port this to a Windows Mobile device eventually). The following changes were made.
    The A frequency indicator was made active. This was an oversight from the last update.
    A front panel object, XylophoneFP.lvclass, was created to hold the front panel references and methods.
    The front panel object was used to implement the Show Raw Data button.
    The front panel object was used to compensate for font issues.
    When testing this application on Windows Vista, I noticed that the font differences between Vista and XP were annoying enough that I wanted to fix them. This will also lay the groundwork for any layout issues when porting to Windows Mobile. Usually, I create a cluster containing all my front panel references, but this time I put them into an object. Besides the usual object boilerplate, there are two methods, one to rearrange the front panel and one to show/hide the data graphs.
    Once the controls and indicators are properly arranged, showing and hiding the data graphs is simple. VI server methods are used to find the edges of the outer controls, some whitespace is added, then the front panel size is reset. Arranging the controls in the first place is much more complex. Dialog controls are used, and these controls change size based on the default font size. Font sizes can change due to user preference or when using the application in a different operating system than it was developed in. Button sizes can also change due to localization.
    This problem is difficult to solve cleanly, and the VI which does this, XylFP.lvlib:XylophoneFP.lvclass:ArrangeControls.vi, shows the problem. It relies on the actual sizes of the controls/indicators to rearrange the front panel in a hopefully pleasing fashion. Even though this is a relatively simple UI, the VI is fairly complex. It uses VI server calls to determine the current sizes of controls and then rearrange them. If you choose to do something similar, consider the following hints:
    The Bounds property of all controls is not writable. To change the size of controls, you need to find the property or properties which change the size. There may be more than one (which is why Bounds is not writable). For example, to change the size of a boolean, use the Button Size property.
    In many cases, the property you use to change the size of the control will not be the same value as the Bounds property. Using the boolean again, the Bounds of a 3D LED include the 3D effect around the LED, but the Button Size only includes the LED itself. Comparing the Bounds property to the result of a query to the property you will be setting will give you the necessary offset to convert between the two.
    Make sure you label your wires if you attempt to do things like this. Long wires are very common in this type of programming. It is difficult enough to keep track of things without the added aggravation of having the trace wires back to their source to identify them.
    A few judiciously placed type converters can eliminate many type conversion dots. This is not usually a real problem in this context, but you should get into the habit of efficient programming.
    I will be hiking through the mountains of New Mexico with the Boy Scouts for the next couple of weeks, so do not be dismayed if I do not reply to comments very quickly. However, comments and suggestions are still welcome and encouraged. I will reply when I return.

    It is simpler but you give up any multi CPU performance.  That LV is inherently parallel is one (the only) real advantage over a text based development system.  I can write good structured text that is almost as visually easy to parse as LV.  With modern syntax coloring engines, the difference in icons vs. structured text is not that great.
    But the challenge I give the traditional text coders is to keep track of many mulitple threads.  This is why dataflow is a powerful concept.  Yes it does lead to asynchronous execution but if you impose synchronicity on your code you are working against LV.  I get most first time programs where everything is in a sequence structure.  "Just to be safe".  
    Of course this is much better but  my first design goal is that any application should take advantage of a much hardware as possible, degrade gracefully on slower hardware and play nice with other running applications.  This simpler structure severely handicaps that first goal.
    In this case it is simple enough to "get away" with it since as you point out that there should not be anything that takes significant CPU time.   But that may not be true on the PDA?
    If you are going to run it on the PDA will we be discussing techniques to seamlessly use both NIDAQmx Base and NIDAQmx in the same system?  That is a real challenge.  I look forward to more of this!
    Cheers!

  • Where to find Very Nice Test Front Panel?

    I don't have too many experience in LabView (just a couple of years) but I already did many complex test programs. All my proyect has a very simple front panel using just the labView graphics.
    Now I want to change my front panels. Where I can  find another type of front panels? maybe you can send me your examples or we can do a data base of the beter front panels.
    Thank you every body

    You can search the web for GUI design. I don't have the bookmarks at hand at the moment. Maybe I did find the links on LAVA... One of them was called 'Interface Hall of Shame' for a collection of historical misconcepts. The book by Blume has also a chapter on FP design.
    Anyhow, very independent of LV this is a big issue discussed in different flavours (psychological, engineering, software/computer sience, testing).
    The other kind of experience is just look at other SW you are using (media player, office, your OS -> and Linux flavours!, web pages, traditional stand alone instruments ...).
    This is an open subject, so you won't find a solution but you will benefit from reading a certain amount of stuff about it.

  • Japanese font on Front Panel not working

    Hi,
    I am new on using LV and finds out that whenever I type a Japanese character, it shows garbage text.
    System:
    Windows 7 Pro 32bit SP1
    Labview 2013
    Problem:
    Whenever I key in Japanese character, the result is garbage, however when I tried to export the VI, and when I opened the txt file, the character is written correctly.
    Seems like only in the front panel the characters are displaying incorrectly.
    I've attached the Locale settings and also the garbage in the front panel for reference, as well as the printscreen of the export txt.
    Any solution for this one?

    Hi,
    There are several ways to display foreign languages in LabVIEW front panel.
    1. set “UseUnicode=True” in the LabVIEW.ini file.
    2.  use the app locale utility from Microsoft (http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=13209). With this tool you can run LabVIEW (or builded app) under different locales without changing system locale in Control Panel.
    3. By default UseUnicode in the LabVIEW.ini file is disabled.  Remove it or make it False if you've added the UseUnicode.
    Then go to control panel>> Region and Language >> Administrative tab.  Then in language from non-Unicode programs, select the language you want to use.  With UseUnicode False, Windows will see LabVIEW and a non-Unicode program and enable this feature.
    Maybe you can refer to the links below.

  • How can I get a reference to all controls on a front panel of one type )for example of the type Text Ring?

    I'd like to set the strings[] property of all the Text Ring controls on a front panel at once without creating a property node for every text ring. How can i do that?

    This is likely more complicated than making property nodes for each
    ring, but you can do it. Make a subVI that takes in a panel reference,
    reads the array of control references, loops through them looking for
    rings, and modifying the Strings[] property on each ring.
    The part of this that will probably be the least obvious, when you
    have an array of control references there are two ways to find out
    if an element is a ring. You can read the classID and compare it
    to the cla
    ssID of a true ring control. An alternative is to cast
    the control reference to a ring control using a Cast to more specific
    node and wire the error out to a case structure. The error case is
    where the objects that aren't rings will go. The success case case
    where you will have a valid ring refnum that you can use to modify
    the strings.

  • Selection properties panel -  edit font type and font size

    "selection properties" bottom panel -  edit font type and font size
    In design view
    i can no longer find this option in CS5,
    how can i change font type and font size of highlighted/selected block of text? like previous DW versions ?
    by switching to CSS from html in "selection properties" bottom panel.
    i see an option to do that using CSS. Is this the only option now ?
    Thanks a lot for help.

    What happened if on some pages of my site, there are JS code inserted to display content pulled from other remote host.
    Will my own page or site CSS font setting override the JS code font & size setting as well ?
    or those JS code can display content using their font selection setting independently ?
    >> Yes. In fact it not only does it for the page you're working on, but for the whole site (that's the advantage of CSS vs properties)

  • Is it possible to change the font style and size of the front panel title?

    Can you change the style and size of the Front Panel Window title?  I seem to have no luck.  I seem to be stuck with only 1 font/style.  I would like to use a superscript for 1 of the letters in the title.  Is this possible?  If it isn't this would be a nice feature to have in the future.  I am using LabVIEW 8.5.1.

    Things like the window title font is a function of Windows - not LV. You can change it globally, but not on a window by window basis.

  • Why does the Font color change on my front panel?

    I'm using the Font Dialogue to change the color of highlighted text on my front panel. After I save and reopen my app some of the Text will revert back to their original color (Black). Is this a bug in or am I missing something?

    I assume that you want all control labels with white text. If I change the black ones to white and save the VI, the white text color is retained.

  • Hidden front panel has undefined type

    I am trying to fix a very large unruly labview program.   I have a subVI that is connected to the main program by a very large unpleasant cluster.  When I change anything on the subVI, the error: "Hidden Front Panel has Undefined Type". 
    The indicated cluster control definitely does not have an undefined type, so how do I handle this error?  I went back to the original cluster in the parent vi and created a control from the cluster and copied this over, and get the same error.  I am at a complete standstill from this behavior. 
    Thanks for the help.

    I had the same error yesterday, using LV10SP1.
    It was simply a hidden broken wire.  Cleaned it up, the error was gone, code ran.
    Don't know why it kept complaining about an unrelated cluster control.  
    Just glad I had found this thread and thought of doing a ctrl-b..

  • Any way to set font properties of entire VI front panel

    I have some code. Lots of UI front panels. Many controls do not have consistent font sizes. Is there any way to fix this quickly without going to each control and setting manually? Thanks in advance.

    On a single VI you can simply select all the controls and change the font using the dropdown menu - this will change the font for all selected items.
    If you're trying to do this for multiple VIs then you'd have to resort to using the VI server. You can get a reference to the VI's front panel and then iterate over all the controls/indicators. Properties are available to set the font for captions and labels and the control text, if it has any (like numeric controls). Basically, 2 for-loop. One loop for the VI references, and another for the control references.

  • Adding a Spreadsheet to the Front Panel

    Hi,
    I want to add something like a spreadheet to my front panel and I need some recommendations.  I want to allow values to be entered at runtime and I like the ability of locking certain cells and changing font attributes of cells.
    I tried adding an ActiveX Document (Create Document or Object from File) but the spreadsheet can't be edited at run-time but I think I can access all the properties and methods I need.  I also tried adding the Microsoft Office Spreadsheet in Create Control (ActiveX also) and it behaves well on the Front Panel but I can't figure out how to get to the properties I need like values in a certain range.  I think I have a problem using the Variant to Data function; I can't figure out how to make a type for Variant to Data.
    I'm relatively new to LabVIEW so I might be missing something obvious but I think I have good general understaning of it.  I'm normally a C/C++ programmer.
    Thanks,
    Albert

    Here is a vi to use as an example if you want to use active x. If you have LV 8 just use a table and set the parameters as desired. If you need anymore assistance i will try to help.

    Thank you all.. I could insert the sqrt symbol in the GUI. 
    I also want to initialise one of the strings with the same symbol. So I copied the sqrt symbol and inserted that in place of "sqrt(3)"  . but it switched back to a special character. I selected that special character and selected symbol font from the font menu, then it switched back to sqrt symbol. but as soon as i clicked the mouse outside, it reverted to the old special character(may be the one corresponding to 0xD3 in Application Font).
