Get image of Data Type of wire

Hello,
I know how to return the image of a front panel or diagram using VI server however I'm looking to be able to return the same image as displayed within the 'Data Type of Wire' information in the Context Help window when I hover my mouse over a wire. I thought this may be achieveable by returning a reference wire to a Front Panel Control and then maniulpate the methods/properties of that to try and return it but I can't find anything that will do the job. . .
Im asking because I have an object that stores another set of differenet objects and hovering over the highest most class returns a good diagram to show all of the data memebers within the system.
Any ideas on how to get programatic access to that image?
Cheers
Tom

I think you guys missed the point of the original poster.
When you hover over an LVclass wire, you see the content of the class cluster in the context help window. If the class includes other instances of other classes in its cluster, those classes are also displayed in the context help window.
Tom wants to get that picture. The problem is that what you're seeing is not a preset picture. It's probably a tree which is dynamically generated when you hover over the wire and is probably done in the C code with no visible interface in LabVIEW (definitely not a public one).
I can think of a couple of option:
1. The easy one is probably to programmatically open the CH window, position the mouse over a wire of your class (will require some access to private properties. Look at LAVA forums scripting forum to see how you can access these), and then capture the entire screen and cut out the part of the image which has the CH window.
2. The somewhat harder one is to rebuild this yourself. There's a class API in the LAVA forums code repository which should return the structure of the class. You can use that to recursively parse the cluster and build a tree of all the elements.
Why do you want to do this?
Try to take over the world!

Can't get a dynamic data type and wire (waveform double) to both display on a waveform graph

Hi,
I'm teaching myself LabVIEW. I wish to delay a wave form and display it with the non delayed wave form. I used a delay from the examples. The output of the delay is wire (waveform double). The Simulate signal output is dynamic data. My conversion from wire (waveform double) to dynamic does not display on the waveform graph. The VI is attached. Can anyone offer any comment.

It is displaying just fine. The display is hidden behind the display of the second signal. Expand the Plot Legend to show all three plots. Then toggle the plot visible property of the second and third plots.

Cannot get the correct data type in Oracle JDBC

Dear ALL:
I used JDBC ResultSetMetaData to get the column data type for Oracle Database. I created a table including 2 columns AAA, which is NUMBER type, BBB which is FLOAT type.
However, I found a problem that either NUMBER or FLOAT data types are reported as NUMBER type in JDBC.
IN SQL 2000, it is okay. SMALLINT, INT, TINYINT, etc..can be reported correctly.
Can anybody tell me that what's wrong here? I will be very appreciated.

i guess its a bug which is fixed with 10i.

Is it possible to get the element data type of a Queue from itself?

Hi everyone,
i have a Q that has a cluster as element data type.
now when i want to enqueue
i'll use bundle-by-name
and for that i'd have to have my data-type present
(long cable from whereever (possibly from where i obtained the Q).
my question is,
whether there is a method/property-node/something that allows me to
wire the Queue Refnum into it and receive the element-data-type,
so i can then input into the top of bundle-by-name?
(i really dont want to have that cable all over the place)
the reason i ask here is that
the help for the outgoing Queue Refnum from the Obtain Queue method,
shows the element-data-type and so i hope there might be a solution.
thx for your time
and cheers

If I understand your question correctly, the answer is "Yes, it's very easy ..."
The answer is "Preview Queue". Here I create a Queue of some mysterious type (it's a cluster having a Thing and a Center, but you don't know that yet). I take the Queue reference from whereever I can find it and pass it into Preview Queue Element. I take the output and use it to define my cluster in Bundle by Name.
Two caveats. This copies the first element of the Queue into the cluster, so you probably need to be sure to define all of the elements of your cluster. But what if the Queue is empty (as mine is, above, as I just Obtained it) -- well, that's why 0 is wired into the TimeOut input, since I do not want to wait "forever" (-1) for the empty Queue to have an element! Turns out that even in this case, you still get the correct Cluster elements!
Neat, huh?

Failed to get Column's data type in Oracle 11g

Hi,
I made an ADO connection(Oracle provider) to Oracle 11g, and use ADO API: OpenSchema(adSchemaColumns) to fetch the columns' info. But I found I couldn't get the column's data type if it's type is timestamp or timestampwithtimezone in database. What I got is 'adIUnknown' whose number is 13.
I test with another column whose data type is 'date', and everything is ok. I get the data type 'adDBTimeStamp'.
This issue occurs on Oracle 10g, too.
Can anyone offer some help? Thanks a lot!

Attaching a Cluster of 2 elements data type to dynamic data type wire.

Hey Folks,
How do I attach a cluster of 2 elements data type of wire with a Dynamic data type wire?
Or a Build XY Graph to a curve fitting2.
Thanks for the help.
Ty

Hi Ty,
Try to use the "Express-VI Curve Fitting" which is at: Functions-> Signal Analysis -> Curve Fit.
You have to put this VI before the "Build XY Graph".
Otherwise, u can convert the siganls types by using the "Convert from Dynamic Data"
which is at : Functions-> Signal Mamipulation -> Convert from Dynamic Data.
Hope it Helps....

How to receive the images / binary data t ype

How to receive the images / binary data type in webdynpro....
i have a website that let's the user send email, the email attachment and message are stored in both in images data type....
q1) can i stored the message into binary data type...but the message is very long.....
q2) if i have a textbox ...i surely will need to display the message in string ,right ?
[......... msg here ........]
what is the codes to receive the images / binary data type in webdynpro....

As in your previous post if you are storing them as BLOB object.. am sure you are able to get a byte stream or byte array(bytes[]) out of it.
There should be some way to identify if its a image or a message BLOB. If its a image , convert into bytes and use
WDWebResource.getWebResource(bytes,resource type).getAbsoluteURL()
to obtain the url.. assign this image UI element..
In case its the message , use bytes.toString to get the message ..

How to retrieve the data type of a column of a table?

Hi,
I want to retrieve the data type of a column of a table. At the moment I am querying "OCI_ATTR_DATA_TYPE" attribute but it is returning SQLT_CHR for both varchar2 and nvarchar2 data type columns. I need to distinguish between these two data types columns separately. Is there any API through which I could get the exact data type of a column i.e. "nvarchar2"?
Thanks in advance.
Hashim

Hi,
This is the Oracle C++ Call Interface (OCCI) forum - I'm not sure if you are using OCCI or OCI (Oracle Call Interface - the C interface) since you reference "OCI_ATTR_DATA_TYPE" which is more of an OCI focus than OCCI.
In any case, you might take a look at "OCI_ATTR_CHARSET_FORM" which takes the following values:
#define SQLCS_IMPLICIT 1 /* for CHAR, VARCHAR2, CLOB w/o a specified set */
#define SQLCS_NCHAR 2 /* for NCHAR, NCHAR VARYING, NCLOB */So, if you have a datatype of SQLT_CHR and OCI_ATTR_CHARSET_FORM is SQLCS_IMPLICIT then you have a varchar2 if it is SQLCS_NCHAR then you have an nvarchar2.
If you are using OCCI and not OCI then take a look at MetaData::ATTR_DATA_TYPE and MetaData::ATTR_CHARSET_FORM which expose OCI_ATTR_DATA_TYPE and OCI_ATTR_CHARSET_FORM respectively.
Perhaps that will get you what you want.

Mark

Image-Safe data on Dell Optiplex GX520

Good afternoon,
I am having trouble getting image-safe data to stick on our Dell Optiplex GX520's. The machine will image fine manually, but no matter how many times you reboot it, the image-safe fields don't populate. In the BIOS I switched the SATA setting to combination, but it still isn't working. The history file is useless too. It either says the file is not valid, or just "unknown error, unable to add image-safe data". This happens on about 90% of our 520's, but some do actually work. Could it be the HD itself?
Thanks.

I am going to half way answer my own question. I determined it is the HD itself. The machines in question have Western Digital WD400BD installed. If the machine does not have this drive then the image-safe data will populate.

Problems with Memo data type in access

I have a Java program which is connected to a Microsoft Access Database. When trying to get a Memo data type field out of the DB and putting it into a StringBuffer, it causes a Function sequence error, even though it does put the field into the said StringBuffer.
For all other data types, like text (string), long integer etc there is no error but only for a memo field.
What's the best way to get a memo field out of an Access DB without it causing problems? or should i just forget Microsoft's Access and make my DB in Oracle?

Hi! Can you tell me how connect a java program with a Microsoft access DB? Should I have to use a particular driver? Where I can find it?
thank you vcery much for your help!!

Image Meta Data in the PSE 10 Organizer

Is is possible to get image meta data from an photo in the PSE 10 organizer or the full edit histogram? I thought is was but can't find where to check that option in the organizer. Otherwise, I have to write the image numbers down and put the card back in into my Canon and get the data.
Thanks,
Mike

Open the file in the Editor, then use File...File Info to open the metadata viewing window. At the bottom, click the down arrow next to the "Import" button to get the "Export" option.

Displaying Date types in the grid control

I have a grid control and one of the column is displaying
'Date' type data. I am able to see the Date values in the grid, if
I define the return type of the getter function as String format.
But the problem with this is, when I click on the Date column
header, the grid is sorting the rows while treating the Date values
as String values. And when I change the return type of the getter
method as Date type (java.util.Date), I don't see any Date values
in the grid. Do I need to do any additional coding to display the
date values as Date types to display the data and then to be able
to sort the grid on Date types.
Please help.

You should return Date values to the Flex application and
store them in the dataProvider associated with that DataGrid. For
Date-values you have a couple of choices:
1. Actually store the time (a long Number - milliseconds
since Jan 1970) and use a labelFunction on the column to format
that values as a Date. This way sorting will treat the value as a
number, but it will appear as a Date.
2. Write your own Sort compare method for that column. Check
the docs on Sort and SortField.

Prob creating a new structured data type

I am trying to create a new structured data type to see it in data type diagram. When i try to right click on structured data type in DATA TYPES, i cant see any option like new structured data type etc. But this is working for distinct as well collection data types but not for structured.
By default, we are getting SDO_geometry structured data type for every model. We can change its name but cant create a new structured data type from there also.
What should i do to create a structured data type in data modeler.

The right click on Structured Types does not open a menu on my Data Modeler either.
To create a Structured Type, click View on the main menu for the Data Modeler. Then click View Details -> Datatype.
In the Browser (called Navigator in other Oracle products), right click Datatype Model -> Show. This will show the DataTypes diagrammer.
Click on the New Structured Type button on the menu bar, then click anywhere on the DataTypes diagrammer, the Structured Type Properties window opens.
Enter all the details in the Structured Type Properties window to create your data type. Click Ok when finished. Your object type will be represented by a "blue" box on the diagram.

Datas return from Blob data type in Sqlite

i am using sqlitejdbc-v053.jar through get SQLITE BLOB data type data. But i cannot data return from Blob type.
Error will be display from :
not implemented by SQLite JDBC driver
and point out error line
blob = rs.getBlob("NGP_REPDATA");
{try {
               Class.forName("org.sqlite.JDBC");
                conn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:sqlite:test.DB");
                stmt = conn.createStatement();
                rs = stmt.executeQuery("SELECT * FROM sometable");
                System.out.println("==============");
                while(rs.next()) {
                     blob = rs.getBlob("blobDATA");//
                     is = blob.getBinaryStream();
          catch(SQLException e) {
               e.printStackTrace();
          }}any sample or solution pls give
sqlite with BLOB sample there pls give link

There explicitly tells you that the JDBC driver that you are using will not do the method that you are calling.
Thus you cannot use that method.
There is another way to extract blobs which involves using a stream. You can search for that.
If your blobs are actually short and only have character data then you might be able to use getString() as well.
