Getting the name of the window under the mouse cursor

Hello All
Is there a way to receive a window name of the window under the mouse cursor? All windows in interest are LV windows, and all of them works separatelly. After the mouse click I would like to get the window name.
The reaso nfor asking is that I have a sequence of setting of different windows. I need to create a doccumentation and I need all windows front panels send to MS Word.
I thought that my application can read the window names and by using the LVwutil32 get the front pannels of the windows and send them to MS Word.
Problem is that in the library I do not have a function like "Window on Top.vi" or something like that.
Anyways, the problem for me now is how to get an active (most top) window
name?
thanks
Pawel

Hi Pawel,
I found the following VI in my "trunk" that I made a while ago (written in LV6.0.2). It returns the active VI (and thereby) the Window name. Mayby you have some use of it, but I believe this is what you want. Only works for Windows though.

And, what do I do if one of the harddisks on my Mini (2010, SL Server) starts misbehaving?

Which security software (firewall, anti-virus) do you have?
Try to boot the computer in Windows Safe mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test to see if that helps and allows to delete the Firefox program folder.

I bought an album and not all the songs came up listed under the artist name. They came up as separate songs and not as part of an album. How do I fix this?

Hello pjmelli921,
You have to locate the album in itunes. Highlight each track, hold the ctrl button and left click each one.
Do a right-click on the highlighted blue, select get info, say yes to editing multiple tracks.
Hit the options tab, change "part of a compliation" to yes, select ok on the bottom right.
Resync ipod. This should fix it on your ipod after the resync.
Hope this helps.

I name each photo buy replacing the jpeg number with the name. when I burn to disk and open disk the name is not shown. how do I get the name given to show on the burn disk?.

after I burn the files to dvd and load to view the name does not appear. How do I get the name listed to appear on the burn disk instead of the file number?

Naming the Photo - or giving it a title - is not the same as naming file.
How are you burning to dvd? With iPhoto? If so then the Title will be available in any app that understands basic metadata.
If you want the title available in the Finder - which does not understand photo metadata - then you'll need to export the file
File -> Export
In the resulting dialogue you'll see a heading for 'File Name'. Choose 'Use Title' from the drop down.

HT2513 How do you change the name of a reminder in the reminder list. I right click and then choose "get information" I can change the colour of the reminder but when I type in the name that I want and then press enter the name stays as "untitled".

Jerry,
Thanks for replying again. I've got a little bit further thanks to you. I tried the US keyboard layout as you seemed pretty definte that it should work. This time I applied the setting and also started the language toolbar and selected it from there.
Hey presto, I've got the @ where it should be. Excellent.
However the single quote ' works in a weird way. When I press it, it doesn't show up on the screen. But when I press another key, I get the single quote plus the next key I press. When I press the single quote twice, I get 2 of them. This is also the same with the SHIFT ' key. i.e. for the double quotes.
Very strange. I'll look at other keyboards and see where that gets me.
Thanks, Maz

A process by the name of avgcmgr is loading the CPUs by up to 100 percent. At least 5 of them have appeared on the activity monitor. I've removed them with forced quit but they return! How do I permanently get rid of them? CPUA temp is now 194F.

Hi Ray-
I'm having the exact same problem and have searched the web for hours looking for a solution (multiple spawned avgcmgr processes that consume cpu).
Did you find any solution?
Thanks so much!

You mean, active windows other than the program you're running, or windows the program puts there? And a real desktop (like where MyComputer is), or a desktop pane?

Names in Members field under the UNIX Attributes Tab have changed from standard format (i.e. John Doe) to the actual account name (jdoe)

Hello,
Names in Members field under the UNIX Attributes Tab have changed from standard format (i.e. John Doe) to the actual account name (jdoe). The only time this happens is if a domain account is deleted and the remnant of the account remains and has to be removed
manually. However all of the accounts, with the exception of any new ones recently added, now show the account name only. Any ideas on what caused this and how to fix it?
Thanks :)

Hi,
I have not heard from you for some days, currently I am providing the related article for you. Hope this will help you on this matter.

How can I edit or change the name of a bookmark in the bookmark library window?

How can I edit or change the name of a bookmark in the bookmark library window? I can figure out just about everything else I can do in the window, but can't seem to edit a bookmark.
thank you

In the Bookmarks Manager you can change the properties of a bookmark in the Details pane at the bottom right.<br />
That Info pane has a More/Less button to show or hide extra properties.
* You can change the Properties (including the name) of a Bookmark or Tag in the Details (Properties) pane at the bottom of the right pane in the Bookmarks Manager (Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks: Shift+Ctrl+B) after selecting an item. You can rename a tag by selecting the Tags folder in the left panel and change the name in the Info pane at the bottom right.
* You can make changes to a Bookmark in the Bookmarks menu drop down list or in the side bar (View > Sidebar > Bookmarks, Ctrl+B) via the Properties entry in the right-click context menu.
* You can open a bookmark in a tab and click the yellow (blue on Mac) star in the location bar to open the "Edit This Bookmark" dialog and see in which folder a bookmark is located.

What does the open file dialog do 'under the hood' and is there a way to simulate it

What does the open file dialog do 'under the hood' and is there a way to simulate it?
I have a bug in my code (that I've posted about before, here) which I can't fix at the moment, but I do have a workaround.
Briefly, the bug:
I call a dll from a function node, to initialise and run a spectrometer. If I start up the PC, LabVIEW and run my vi the code runs without complaint, the first call to the dll to initialise the spectrometer doesn;t return an error but the spectrometer is not detected either.
I've tried various solutions, see the link above, and none work
The workaround:
If, at any time before running the code containing the function node I open an 'open file' dialog window, select the dll and click ok/hit enter then everything is fine. When I run the main code the spectrometer is detected.
I use an express vi to open the file dialog, I specify the start path and file name as constant inputs and just click ok/hit return when the dialog pops up. I don't do anything with the dialog outputs. In fact the vi that contains the open file dialog can be run before the project containing the bug is even open.
I have to do this everytime I turn the PC on.
So, either
1) Can somewone suggest a fix for the original bug?
2) What is the easiest way to simulate the enter keypress when the open file dialog pops up
or
3) Can someone tell me what the open file dialog does under the hood that somehow causes the dll to work and can it be simulated in straight LabVIEW
I suspect that the dll itself is dodgy ( I have in the past talked to the supplier but not got very far, and I will try again but I would like a quick, temporary solution too). I'm guessing that the file dialog is making some kind of check on the file, and possibly registering its presence with the OS (winXP). I tried using the file/folder exists vi to see if checking the file like that worked but no luck.
Any help greatly appreciated.
Dave

Hi David
I am very conscious about thread hijacking but this sounded like my issue so I hope you dont mind me asking about your issue. I am hoping that you have a spectrometer from the same vendor as me and its not just me seeing an Error 1097 issue. My spectrometer is from a company called Stellarnet.
So far I have unable to get it to work with other VIs. There is one condition where I can get it to work but its no good for me.
Case 1
I open the VI in a fresh labview environment with no other VIs in memory. The code runs with no issue.
Case 2
Labview is not opened. I double click the spectrometer VI in windows explorer. The VI opens but it fails to run resulting in Error 1097. Personally, I dont see the difference between this and Case 1 above and yet it fails.
Case 3
If I already have other VI's in memory and try to load the spectrometer VI and run it fails with Error 1097. This case is the one that most important to me. I have a test executive that will load test VIs dynamically and I can't get this to work. Same problem Error 1097.
I wanted to share what I have seen with you and to let you know that maybe somebody else has the same issue. I am convinced its the DLL but the vendor dis-agreed saying it was LabVIEW. I couldn't convince him otherwise.
Thanks in advance
David
