FP Run time position property

Dear all,
i am working on an application which uses multiple monitors.
i am using FP.Run-Time Position.Maximized node to dynamically set the position of the panel. the property node asks for 1 input which is "monitor".
so i decide at the run time if i want to display the panel on monitor 1 or 2.
it works fine but with a small issue. whenever i change the monitor, it displays the panel on the previous monitor for the first time and displays on the monitor mentioed the second time it is called.
suppose it is called on monitor 1. so if i change it to monitor 2, it will still display on monitor 1 for the 1st time and on monitor 2 when called 2nd time.
why is that ?

Hi,
I am setting the property before running the VI. and i am calling the VI using VI server.
i have attached the block diagram of the code.
pls have a look at it and let me know what changes i should make to make it run as i want.
Thanks,
Ritesh

LabVIEW 2010 Window Size/Panel Size Run-Time VI properties - unexpected behavior

I have used the VI Properties Windows Run-Time Position - Panel Size and VI Properties - Window Size to set the desired display size for use on the application PC.
A strange thing happens, when I first open the application window, it is smaller than the specified Window Size and Panel Size (both set to 1064 x 728). However, if I click on a horizontal border the window's vertical size snaps instantly to the 728 pixel value and the horizontal size in unchanged, still smaller than the 1064 value specified. When I click on a vertical border, the horizontal size changes to the specified value.
I don't believe this is how these properties were intended to work. They should open the application in a window sized as specified.
Is this a known problem? Is there a workaround.

I regret that I cannot post my employers' proprietary code. I have tried to duplicate the problem with a publicly distributed VI and been unable to do so.
I believe now that it is possible my VI was "straddling" two monitors when I made the initial changes.
Later compilations were made using different VI properties and do not show this problem.
I have attached a file showing the relevant VI property settings used in the aberrant VI compilation.

Can we change [maximum number of records per page] property at run time

can we change [maximum number of records per page] property at run time in report 6i

Ravi,
I hope you are already done with this. In the invoice there is a nice example you can use on the xml blogs.
You limit the number of lines per page when you use the xsl commands like this in your template:
<xsl:variable name="lpp" select="number(13)"/>
<?for-each@section:LIST_G_INVOICE?>
<xsl:variable xdofo:ctx="incontext" name="invLines" select=".//G_LINES[LINE_TYPE='LINE']"/>
<?for-each:$invLines?> <?if:(position()-1) mod $lpp=0?> <xsl:variable name="start" xdofo:ctx="incontext" select="position()"/>
and then you have the table where you have the data
<?for-each:$invLines?><?if:position()>=$start and position()<$start+$lpp?>
and all your lines
and then
<?end if?><?end for-each?>

Can the position of a vertical line object be changed in run time

Post Author: KennyG
CA Forum: General
I added some vertical line objects into my report in design mode, but the position of them can't be determined until the run time. So I have to change the position dynamically, such as " lineObject.Left = 200; ........" . But I'm confronted with an exception, System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException, and it says that " The line object's coordinates are not valid. Only vertical or horizontal lines are supported.". Finally, can the position of a vertical line object be changed in run time? if can, how to do it??
Any suggestion will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Making buttons move is my thing. Attached you will find VIs that make advanced use of the postion property.

LabVIEW 2009 3D Plot has no Loose Fit property and Axis AutoScale does not function at run time ?

I cannot find a Loose Fit property for the new 3D plots (waterfall, ribbon) in LV 2009. As a result, my data range of 1402 to 1407 ends up on a Z axis range of 1400 to 1500 and looks like a flat line.
The Z Active Axis properties Range Maximum and Range Minimum can be used to set the range but the Z Axis Autoscale property had to be changed to False using either the front panel Plot Properties at edit time or using the Range Auto Scale property at run time on the block diagram. It could not be changed at run time by popping up on either the plot border or on the Color Palette.
In edit mode, R-clicking on the Color Palette's AutoScale Z did not make that property toggle or stick and did not change its function.
At run time, there are two AutoScale Z selections shown. One along with the X and Y scales and another by itselfat the bottom. Again, clicking the one that is part of the X and Y axis did not make its setting stick and did not have an effect. What does happen though is that the other AutoScale Z shown at the bottom of the Color Pallete popup does toggle its state. But clicking on the AutoScale Z shown at the bottom does not toggle its state.
The grey border region of the plot area contains at run time, popup setting for X,Y and Z AutoScale that likewise have no effect.
Or am I missingsomething ?

LV 2009 3D Plot Axis Autoscale.vi ‏18 KB

Steve,
you should be able to successfully change the scales based on the min and max values as long as you explicitly turn off autoscale. In your program, I just right-clicked the Range Auto Scale property selected "change to write", then made a control so that I could set the value myself. Clean up the broken wires, and the program runs like it's supposed to - resetting it's scale range:
is this the result you wanted?

Modifying property file at run time

Hi all..
I have been using properties file for handling few configurations in my project.
whenever i need a change in the file, i had to change it in corresponding file, create a jar file and then introspect it into project and then publish the project.
Is there any other way of achieving it.... can we modify the property file at run time just like we do for JSP pages...
Or any other better way of doing this.. pls suggest..
(am using 10g OBPM)
Have a nice time...
Regds,
Viswanath

Sharma,
write a java class that reads a property file from the external path. make the jar file non-versionable in case you need to update that later. if you are on J2ee container all you need to do it drop the file @ domain root and u shd be good to go.
sample code I am doing this for log4j.properties and application propertied.
public class BPMLoggerUtil {
     // Initializing the default Logger //
     private static Logger logger = null;
     private static final String DEFAULT_PATH = "resources/log4j.properties";
     private static HashMap map = new HashMap();
     * This is the init method
     * @param propertyPath
     public static void init(String propertyPath){
          try {
               if((logger = (Logger) map.get(propertyPath)) == null){
                    Properties properties = new Properties();
                    properties.load(LoggerUtil.class.getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream(propertyPath));
                    PropertyConfigurator.configure(properties);
                    logger = Logger.getLogger(PropertiesHelper.getProperty("resources.test", "AppName"));
                    map.put(propertyPath, logger);
          } catch(Exception ex) {
               ex.printStackTrace();
     }

Property to set hex/binary/decimal format at run time?

Hi, I'd like to allow my user to choose between hex/binary/decimal formats in his number input. I'm happy to do the radio button stuff and the code to "hear" what he wants, but I can't find a property of my variable which selects the format at run-time - there is of course the "Format & Precision..." which I can get at by right mouse click BEFORE running, so I know it's likely to be available at run-time. Any suggestions welcome. Thanks, Richard.

It's not necessary to use property node because you can use the builtin
property of the indicator.
Click the rigth mouse button over the indicator and select show radix.
On the left side of the indicator appear radix that you can push to choose
between hex, binary, octal and decimal.
Bye

Custom component property value handling at run time

I would like to develop simple custom component which has three properties PROP1, PROP2 & RESULT . These parameters are bound to excel sheet cells as follows..
cell A1 connected to PROP1
cell A2 connected to PROP2 and
cell A3 connected to RESULT.
In excel A1 cell has excel formula set as =IF(A2<5,10,0).
Custom component would be simple button display at runtime and on click of the same, I would like to perform following actions in sequence with N number of times.
1. First push any random number to PROP2. (which is simple task, I believe)
2. Pick new value of PROP1 which is changed due to existance of excel formula (+ using dispatchevent I could able to pass value to excel cell A2. But not able to read new value of PROP1+)
3. check new PROP1 value equal to 10. If it is 10 then count it otherwise again push new random value to PROP2.
4. Continue step 1 to 3 till N number of times. and finally
4. Push number of counts for PROP1 value 10 to RESULT parameter.
All the parameters are bindable (getter/setter with [Bindable]) in Flex component application and flex propertysheet application use binding ID to bind with cell address. with binding direction BOTH and SINGLETON
Here is flex function code which triggered at button click.
public function test002():void {
while ( N < 100)
this.PROP2 = Math.round(Math.random()*1000);
dispatchEvent(new PropertyChangeEvent(PropertyChangeEvent.PROPERTY_CHANGE, false, false, PropertyChangeEventKind.UPDATE, "PROP2", null, PROP2, this));
     if (this.PROP1 == 10)
      cnt++;
   this.RESULT = cnt;
My observations are as follows.
- new push of value to PROP2 get reflected to excel A2 when button click event is over, not at the time of while loop process execution.
- Also I observed PROP1 value never changes and it is the value which is recorded just before button click event of component at run time and remain the same till button click event is over.
- Further to this I notice as click event is over, new value of PROP2 reflected in cell A2 and change value (if it passes IF formula of excel ) in A1 as well. Next button click action takes these new A1 and A2 values in consideration and process the function "test002".
I would like to understand possibility of custom component event execution process, which can able to pass as well as read value from component parameters to underlying excel with changes due to excel formula existance. If it is not limitations (If so) what is the set of commands which can be helpful to achieve this. I appreciate if anybody explain typical event execution required in such scenarios with some actionscript code directions.
Thanks

Marton,
I have tried your solution. It works well immediately after xcelsius dashboard get displayed or preview. It does not wait click event to happen. So I modified further by adding one switch ( "switch001" in code piece shown below) to control iteration by click event. That stops running of iteration immediate after dashboard display.
In order to see iteration I have to click twice on button. First click does send "frm" parameter value to excel and excel formula operates. The excel formula result send back to component via SETTER of "frmResult" . But it stops over there. If I click second time the iteration starts for 100 times.
Also I try to export this to PDF. PDF file get generated. If I try to open PDF file it raise error.
My code is attached here.
"frm" is the parameter that sends random number to excel.
"frmResult" parameter receives excel formula output and send it back to component.
"test()" function operate on button click event and set switch001 and then calls "Calc" function for iterations.
MXML code..........
<mx:VBox>
       <mx:TextInput id="frmResultLabel" width="100" />
       <mx:Button label="test..." click="test()"/>
</mx:VBox>
Actionscript code
public var cnt:int;
          public var N:int = 0;
          public var sum:int = 0;
          public var switch001:Boolean = false;
         public function test():void {
               N = 0;
               sum = 0;
               switch001 = true;
          public function Calc():void {
          if (switch001 == true)
            if (N < 100)
                this.frm = Math.round(Math.random() * 1000);
            else if (N == 100) // return the result
                 this.frmResult = sum;
                 // Label component use to display frm and frmResult values at runtime
                 frmResultLabel.text = sum.toString() + ">" + this.frm + ">" + this.frmResult;
             N++;
          [Bindable]
          private var _frm:int;
          private var _frmChanged:Boolean = true;
          [Bindable]
          public function get frm():int
               return _frm;
          public function set frm(value:int):void
               //if (value == null) value = 0;
               if (_frm != value)
                    _frm = value;
                    _frmChanged = true;
                    invalidateProperties();
          override protected function commitProperties():void
             super.commitProperties();
             if (_frmResultChanged == true)
                    // start the cycle again by generating a new random number,
                    // or write out the result

Fatal Run Time Error - unknown source position thread id

Hi All,
I am using LabWindows CVI 2013 in order to display data from my controller.
I have defined some functions to activate the communication with the controller and read data from it.
The communication activation with the controller is being done inside the Main block before loading the UI panels.
I created a command button that activates the data reading function (Get Register) from the controller.
When calling the reading function I received a Fatal Run Time Error. Attached please find.
When I moved the reading function to the main block before loading the UI, the program didn't crush.
What is the cause for that?
Thanks for your support.
Haim

Hi Haim,
Could you explain what you mean by moving the function to the main block? Does that mean instead of having a callback, you added the four lines in that callback (according to the attached image) to the main function? When you do this, does the code execute correctly?
And can you tell me what DLL package you are using that contains the Jet32Functions.GetRegister function?
The error is very generic, so it is hard to say what is causing it without seeing the entirety of the code, but it appears that there is a conflict in the thread control. Does the error occur only when you activate the callback by clicking the command button? Which lines are executed in the callback before the error occurs?
It would be helpful if you could attach your source file or at least a screenshot of the working code so I can see the entire main function.

Fatal run time error: unknown source position

I am getting a fatal run-time error when using CVI 8.0.1. I get the error when any program I write is exiting. Here's an example source:
#include <ansi_c.h>
int main(void)
    char buf[512];
    printf("press enter to exit\n");
    gets(buf);
    return 0;
after I press enter to exit, the program hangs for a few seconds and then I get the error. This only started happening after I upgraded to CVI 8.0.1. I have tried uninstalling / reinstalling / going back to earlier versions and I always have the problem now.

It sounds like something went wrong with the initial install or possibly there was problems with removing previous versions. Since uninstalling and reinstalling did not fix this, I would suggest you to use a utility called MSI Blast. This will show all installations that are on your machine and allow you to remove these installations. This is a last resort program and should never be used to replace Add/Remove Programs, but since something sounds as if it is corrupt, I feel it is best to use this. Here is the link.
ftp://ftp.ni.com/outgoing/msiblast.zip
You will need to remove and reinstall all NI components to assure that we remove the corrupt file. It is definitely something local to your machine as I was not able to replicate the problem with your provided code. Please run this utility and let me know once you have pick this up off of the ftp, as we do not leave this utility up for long.

How to remove the black line from a stacked canvas at run time???

Hi All,
I've developed a stacked canvas within a content canvas, when I run the form the stacked canvas apeared with a black line takes it.
How to remove this line or how to disappear this line at run time??
I tried to do this by putting (no line) in tools palette to the line color tool after selecting the black line one and after selecting the stacked canvas another once, but this did not resolve the problem!
I need something else:
I put the stacked canvas at detail data block and it didn't appear since I execute query in master data block
How to appear the stacked canvas directly before executing query in master data block???

Hi,
u mean the border line? In stacked canvas property, select contour/outline and set it to none.
Make sure, the stacked canvas is behind the content canvas in the objectnavigator. Then check your
properties of the stacked canvas:
- Position on content canvas
- size
- size of clipping
Set stacked canvas property automatic visible to yes.
Make sure the stacked canvas is not overlayed by other stacked canvas or items.

How to move control in front panel at run time

                I'm using LabVIEW 8.5. I want to move the control anywhere in front panel. For example in the attach file I want to pick up the pict control (with the help of mouse) and drop it anywhere in front panel. second thing I want to ask if I want to make it copy paste, means main control will b at its initial position and where the mouse moves the image moves and when I leave the mouse the image gets drops there. How to do it. Please help me.

You'll need to use an event structure to respond to the mouse down, mouse
move and mouse up events. In the mouse down event of the control, set a
value in a shift register to true. In the mouse move event, when the value
is true, change the position of the control with a position property node.
In the mouse up event of the control, set the boolean in the shift register
to false.

You can't copy paste controls during run time. It seems you want to make a
graphical application, where you can graphically drag and drop some
configuration or something like that. You should have a look at the picture
control. You can draw anything you want in this control, and catch mouse
down, move and up events in the same way. It is perhaps a bit difficult to
get to know it, but it is very powerful when you do.

Error involving Report Generation Toolkit and Labview Run Time Engine

Developed an application using LabVIEW 6.1 and LabVIEW Report Generation Toolkit for Microsoft Office 1.0.1. From there, tried to build a shared application for use with the LabVIEW Run Time Engine. The Run Time version functions properly until "New Report.vi" is called and then an error is generated, code 7, calling out "Open VI Reference in New Report.vi" could not be found. When building the application, I did include the "NI Reports Support" in the advanced installer options. The machine used for original development and application build is running Windows XP Pro and Office XP. Any suggestions??

I am having the exact same problem but with LV 6.1 and M/S WORD 2000. It appears that the "New Report.vi" is trying to open "C:\APP.DIR\Word_Open.vi" and "C:\APP.Dir\Word_Open_Document.vi" by reference. The "OFFICE 2000.TXT" says that "_exclsub.llb and _wordsub.llb must be added as support files when building an application or a dynamic link library with the application builder." I added them as Support Files and I copied them to the "C:\TESTER\" where the TESTER.EXE is and I still get ERROR 7 in "NEW REPORT.VI" at VI OPEN REFERENCE.
Do I need to make a "C:\TESTER\DATA\" sub-dir and put the support files there?
I am building on MY COMPUTER on F: Drive on a network and transporting files to the real Tester.
I displayed my App.Property of APP.DI
R at start up and it is C:\TESTER\ ! How would my application know that "Word_Open.vi" and "Word_Open_Document.vi" are actually inside the _wordsub.llb?
Any ideas ?
