How can I access a control's description and data range information from within LabVIEW 6.1 or 7.0?

I didn't see an obvious way of accomplishing this. Is this possible?

Right click on the Control and navigate to Create>Property Node. Now on the newly created node, right click on it where it says Visible and navigate to Properties>Description. This will output a string of the controls description. Now grow the node by right clicking and selecting Add Element. On on the property, right click and navigate to Properties>Data Range>All Elements. This will generate a cluster with all the range info.

How can we use TABLE CONTROL in BDC and WORK FLOW of ABAP.

how can we use TABLE CONTROL in BDC and WORK FLOW of ABAP.?
please explain the important questions.

How to deal with table control / step loop in BDC
Steploop and table contol is inevitable in certain transactions. When we run BDC for such transactions, we will face the situation: how many visible lines of steploop/tablecontrol are on the screen? Although we can always find certain method to deal with it, such as function code 'NP', 'POPO', considering some extreme situation: there is only one line visible one the screen, our BDC program should display an error message. (See transaction 'ME21', we you resize your screen to let only one row visible, you can not enter mutiple lines on this screen even you use 'NP')
Now with the help of Poonam on sapfans.com developement forum, I find a method with which we can determine the number of visible lines on Transaction Screen from our Calling BDC program. Maybe it is useless to you, but I think it will give your some idea.
Demo ABAP code has two purposes:
1. how to determine number of visible lines and how to calculte page number;
(the 'calpage' routine has been modify to meet general purpose usage)
2. using field symbol in BDC program, please pay special attention to the difference in Static ASSIGN and Dynamic ASSIGN.
Now I begin to describe the step to implement my method:
(I use transaction 'ME21', screen 121 for sample,
the method using is Call Transation Using..)
Step1: go to screen painter to display the screen 121, then we can count the fixed line on this screen, there is 7 lines above the steploop and 2 lines below the steploop, so there are total 9 fixed lines on this screen. This means except these 9 lines, all the other line is for step loop. Then have a look at steploop itselp, one entry of it will occupy two lines.
(Be careful, for table control, the head and the bottom scroll bar will possess another two fixed lines, and there is a maximum number for table line)
Now we have : FixedLine = 9
 LoopLine = 2(for table control, LoopLine is always equal to 1)
Step2: go to transaction itself(ME21) to see how it roll page, in ME21, the first line of new page is always occupied by the last line of last page, so it begin with index '02', but in some other case, fisrt line is empty and ready for input.
Now we have: FirstLine = 0
 or FirstLine = 1 ( in our case, FirstLine is 1 because the first line of new page is fulfilled)
Step3: write a subroutine calcalculating number of pages
(here, the name of actual parameter is the same as formal parameter)
global data: FixedLine type i, " number of fixed line on a certain screen
 LoopLine type i, " the number of lines occupied by one steploop item
 FirstLine type i, " possbile value 0 or 1, 0 stand for the first line of new " scrolling screen is empty, otherwise is 1
 Dataline type i, " number of items you will use in BDC, using DESCRIBE to get
 pageno type i, " you need to scroll screen how many times.
 line type i, " number of lines appears on the screen.
 index(2) type N, " the screen index for certain item
 begin type i, " from parameter of loop
 end type i. " to parameter of loop
*in code sample, the DataTable-linindex stands for the table index number of this line
form calpage using FixedLine type i (see step 1)
 LoopLine type i (see step 1)
 FirstLine type i (see step 2)
 DataLine type i ( this is the item number you will enter in transaction)
 changing pageno type i (return the number of page, depends on run-time visible line in table control/ Step Loop)
 changing line type i.(visible lines one the screen)
data: midd type i,
 vline type i, "visible lines
if DataLine eq 0.
 Message eXXX.
endif.
vline = ( sy-srows - FixedLine ) div LoopLine.
*for table control, you should compare vline with maximum line of
*table control, then take the small one that is min(vline, maximum)
*here only illustrate step loop
if FirstLine eq 0.
 pageno = DataLine div vline.
 if pageno eq 0.
 pageno = pageno + 1.
 endif.
elseif FirstLine eq 1.
 pageno = ( DataLine - 1 ) div ( vline - 1 ) + 1.
 midd = ( DataLine - 1 ) mod ( vline - 1).
 if midd = 0 and DataLine gt 1.
 pageno = pageno - 1.
 endif.
endif.
line = vline.
endform.
Step4 write a subroutine to calculate the line index for each item.
form calindex using Line type i (visible lines on the screen)
 FirstLine type i(see step 2)
 LineIndex type i(item index)
 changing Index type n. (index on the screen)
if FirstLine = 0.
 index = LineIndex mod Line.
 if index = '00'.
 index = Line.
 endif.
elseif FirstLine = 1.
 index = LineIndex mod ( Line - 1 ).
 if ( index between 1 and 0 ) and LineIndex gt 1.
 index = index + Line - 1.
 endif.
 if Line = 2.
 index = index + Line - 1.
 endif.
endif.
endform.
Step5 write a subroutine to calculate the loop range.
form calrange using Line type i ( visible lines on the screen)
 DataLine type i
 FirstLine type i
 loopindex like sy-index
 changing begin type i
 end type i.
If FirstLine = 0.
 if loopindex = 1.
 begin = 1.
 if DataLine <= Line.
 end = DataLine.
 else.
 end = Line.
 endif.
 elseif loopindex gt 1.
 begin = Line * ( loopindex - 1 ) + 1.
 end = Line * loopindex.
 if end gt DataLine.
 end = DataLine.
 endif.
 endif.
elseif FirstLine = 1.
if loopindex = 1.
 begin = 1.
 if DataLine <= Line.
 end = DataLine.
 else.
 end = Line.
 endif.
elseif loop index gt 1.
 begin = ( Line - 1 ) * ( loopindex - 1 ) + 2.
 end = ( Line - 1 ) * ( loopindex - 1 ) + Line.
 if end gt DataLine.
 end = DataLine.
 endif.
endif.
endif.

Pretty much. I don't understand why you need to worry about MobileMe, though. I'd guess the vast majority of us with iDevices don't have MobileMe accounts at all. That's pretty much why it failed.

Turn your device off and connect your cable to the computer, but not the device just yet. Start up iTunes. Now, hold down the home button on your device and plug it in to the cable - don't let go of the button until iTunes tells you it's detected a device in recovery mode. Now you can restore to factory settings.

How can I make CONTAINS query work for a date range

In either 9i or 10g (eventual). I have a CONTEXT index that contains multiple columns from multiple tables and using a USER_DATASTORE. E.g., I have names that come from 3 different table locations and dates that come from 4. I can index them fine but how can I perform a single consolidated CONTAINS query against the single CONTEXT index to do the following:
smith WITHIN lname AND john WITHIN fname AND dob BETWEEN '19870315' and '19970315'
I know that I can use a mixed query but this is inefficient (esp since I have birth dates in multiple tables). Is there any algorithm for a range operator (>, <, between?) within the CONTAINS operator?
CTXCAT index is not an option, as I have many text columns I am searching.
Thanks!

When you run the cdstore.sql, in addition to creating the ctx_cd package, it also creates the friedman package that contains the algorithm that the ctx_cd package uses. You could use the functions from that friedman package in your procedure for your user_datastore and in the creation of your query string, as demonstrated below.

How can I access the control lines of a PCI-1422 from within C++?

I would like to know how the control lines of a PCI-1422 can be accessed (set) programmatically from within C++ (MS VC++7, Windows XP). A flat panel sensor connected to the PCI-1422 needs the control lines to switch on features like binning which I want to use.
Unfortunately I was unable to identify an appropriate command in the IMAQ documentation. Does anyone have experiences with this?
Thank you very much in advance!

Kluas,
The control lines are not exposed through any API. The control lines are run by the driver based on the instructions in the camera files. If the cammera file supports the binning functionality of your camera then you should be able to set the attributes such that the board runs the control lines approriately.
Hope this helps,

How can I separate the family's Apple ID account library information from our central iTunes account?

When there was only one iPhone and one iPod Touch in the house, an iTunes account was opened and music, movies and other library content was stored and accessed readily for each device.
A second iPhone was introduced and we managed OK by using Music Playlists using the second iPhone on the same Apple ID.
The third phone came along, and since trying to manage that extra account - which included setting up additional Apple IDs (and the wretched iCloud), we have had nothing but issues!
Now I am thinking that I need to have separate iTunes accounts for each person with devices (we now have three iPhones and two iPads reliant on these accounts) - but want to be able to transfer items from the existing account to the individual accounts. That would be a satisfactory solution for most of the data we have stored - but we would still like to be able to refer to a common library.
Apple Care (or should that be 'don't Care') and the guys in the local Apple Store are of no help whatever - the latter referring me to a forum. Apple don't seem too keen to provide actual assistance in my situation. Can anybody help with this matter? - and how will I know if anybody answers this?

On your iOS device:
Settings > Music > turn Show ALl Music off
This will hide purchases that are not locally on your device.
In iTunes create a Playlist with just your music and sync only that playlist.

How can we get a url for a "Meet Now" conference call from within the Windows Store App?

Hi,
Is it possible to get the url for the current meeting / new "Meet Now" call from within the Windows Store app?
You have the option of inviting your current Lync contacts, but I don't see a way of giving a URL to clients that would launch Lync on their device, or take them to the web app.
I can see how to get the link using the Outlook plugin, for pre-scheduled meetings. Is this link always the same and the one that should be used for an impromptu "Meet Now" meeting? It would still be good to know how to get this URL from within
the store app so I can tell clients where to get it.
Some people may be on Windows RT devices and not have access to the plugin in Outlook, and want to start a meeting at short notice and then invite others via email or pasting a link to them elsewhere.
Any help appreciated.
If I have answered your question, please mark it as the correct answer. If I have provided helpful information, please mark it as so.

Hi,
Agree with Holger, I check on my Lync Windows Store app and can't find the meeting URL as well.

How can I disable or enable the keyboard and fix mouse's position with LaBVIEW?

Hi,
1. I'ld like to disable or enable the keyboard with LabVIEW.
2. I'ld like to fix the mouse's position with LabVIEW.
How can I do it?
Please advise.
Regards
Hork

For the keyboard, you could create a filtering event and discard the key change.
What do you mean by "fix the mouse position"? Warping or stalling the mouse is very bad UI form., the operator should always be in control of the cursor position. Could you explain what you want to do?

BW 3.5 - How can I select TADIR objects in a specific date range?

Hi everybody,
I have the necessity to obtain a list of BW objects in a specific date range. I have observed that using TADIR table it is impossible because a timestamp is not present. I have also the necessity to group the BW objects using the object type of the TADIR table (e.g. PROG for Program).
Any idea?
Many thanks in advance for your kind support.
Regards,
Giovanni

Hi Giovanni
I would suggest you try put table TADIR in SE11 and generating a "Where-Used List (CtrlShiftF5)" Also you should try double click on data element SOBJ_NAME in the database view of TADIR and generate a Where-Used List on that field, then you can see the relationships of the table/field.
I hope this works for you
Good Luck
Ben
