How can I hide a subvi in the hierarchy window?

I want to hide a subvi of my top level vi in the hierarchy window. I know by calling it dynamically that it won't be in the hierarchy window until it is called but I want to keep it in the hierarchy. I just don't want to display it in the hierarchy window when a user looks at it. Kinda like an easter egg or like the multitude of vi's that NI hides. Can anyone give me a solution?

This is from the 1/14/03 info-labview digest:
Hi, Tim
As you know, to distinguish between public and private methods, GOOP uses the LLB-top-level flag. Public methods are top-level and private method are non-top level.
But GOOP does one more thing with private method VIs. They are checked as "System VI", a property which make them invisible in the VI hierarchy and in the "VIs in Memory" application property, unless their panels are open. You can upgrade to the new GOOP wizard, downloadable from http://www.endevo.com/default.asp?lang=eng. It doesn't check VIs as system VIs. It is compatible backwards, so perhaps you can "repair" your existing GOOP objects if you use the new wizard, but I'm not sure. S
ince you can store objects in both directories and in LLBs with the new wizard, perhaps it helps to convert from LLB to directory and back to LLB again.
If the above doesn't work, you can use these two VIs to uncheck the "System VI" property:
1) C:\PROGRAM\National Instruments\LabVIEW 6\project\goopwiz.llb\Hide System VIs.vi
2) C:\PROGRAM\National Instruments\LabVIEW 6\vi.lib\utility\libraryn.llb\Librarian List.vi
Use (2) to create a list of VIs in your GOOP object LLB. Then loop through all the VIs and use (1) to uncheck the property.
If you want to read more about this, you can search for the string "Invisible VI ?!?" in http://www.searchview.net/, during 2001, in the info-labview archives. Then read the postings with the subject "Invisible VI ?!?".
Hope this was helpful!

How can I hide or make visible the fields at the order and at the delivery?

How can I hide or make visible the fields at the order and at the delivery?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
For sales order, use user exit :
MV45AFZZ and FORM userexit_field_modification.
For deliveries, use BADI :
LE_SHP_DELIVERY_PROC (see with Tcode SE18) and method CHANGE_FIELD_ATTRIBUTES.
Create implementation in ref to this badi with Tcode SE19.

AO 1.4 patch 7 how can I hide technical names in the analysis panel

I just install analysis for office 1.4 patch 7.
We love the speed in which it opens and connects to the BI platform.
The problem is that now in the Analysis panel the technical names are displayed in front of the description.
How can I turn of the technical names?
It is very confusing to our users.

I can isolate a bookmark with the filter, but how can I "find" a bookmark in the hierarchy of the ShowAllBookmarks window?

I want to find a bookmark in its location in the hierarchy of bookmarks, but all I can do with the filter is isolate a bookmark[s]; either using the filter of the bookmarks sidebar, or in the ShowAllBookmarks window. For instance, I know I have a certain bookmark, but I want to move it into a new "folder" and rename it, perhaps; for this I need to be able to *see* it in the hierarchy, as in the Finder of a Mac, when the filter turns up a file, then "Show Original" of "Open Enclosing Folder."

I'm just trying to understand how to use these add-ons, having just added them on, to borrow a phrase, but have now found a comment re Go Parent Folder, "This extension does not seem to work in MacOS X. " <http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?t=659690>. Sadly [altho I really like Snow Leopard] I'm running OS X.6.7. Nonetheless a contextual menu mousing down on a "found" bookmark indeed does give the working option of "Go to Parent Folder" from the found list of the ShowAllBookmarks window, *or* the that of the sidebar window. Bravo!!
Just a question again, how would I have learned this had I not bothered the entire forum, and taken cor-el's time/effort?

How can you stop slideshow from resizing the browser window iframe ?

Does anyone know where the code is that causes the iweb slideshow to resize the browser window when it is opened?
When it is placed on a page using <iframe src="http://homepage.mac.com/coreydee/slideshow/index.html" width="760" height="580" scrolling="no" style="border:none;" frameborder="0"></iframe> It resizes the browser window when it starts.

The iWeb .Mac slideshow, which you previously tried to add in an iframe, does have a function to resize the window. But it would not cause the whole window to resize, just page within the iframe so you would never know.
However, the autoviewer one you are using should not do this.

How can i hide a portion of the text inside a spry dataset "stackedcolumn"?

Hi all
I have a spry dataset set up reading a .xml file for the price/name/description/etc. I want to only show some of the text (a certain number of characters) at the start then give the visitor the option of clicking a toggle button to see more of the description and help with size of the pages. How do i do that exactly?
I know I have to probably implement jquery toggle but how does it work with a spry?
here is the code as it stands.
   <div spry:region="catalog" class="SpotlightAndStacked">
      <div spry:repeat="catalog" class="SpotlightAndStackedRow">
        <div class="SpotlightContainer">
          <div class="SpotlightColumn"><a href="_images/catalog/Art/{Picture_File}" title="{Headline}"><img src="_images/catalog/thumbs/Art/{Picture_File}"></a></div>
        </div>
        <div class="StackedContainer">
          <div class="StackedColumn"> {Item_Last_Name}, {Item_First_Name}</div>
          <div class="StackedColumn"> {Item_Code_Number}</div>
          <div class="StackedColumn"> {Headline}</div>
          <div class="StackedColumn"> {Complete_Description}</div>
          <div class="StackedColumn"> {Item_Code_Number}</div>
          <div class="StackedColumn"> <strong>Retail price: {Retail_Price}</strong></div>
        </div>
        <br style="clear:both; line-height: 0px" />
      </div>
    </div>
Thanks in Advance

There are many options for editing objects/layers in the time line. You can split tracks, slip videp, trim, delete, cut, copy and paste etc. Without more specifics about what you want to do I would suggest you review the users guide. Select help to open the manual and then go to Timeline>Edit objects in the timeline. I am sure you will find the answer to your question.

How can I hide or arrange alphabetically the folders that show up in 'local photos'?

I have roughly 4000 photos and images in 150+ folders on my android tablet. Most of it is necessary presentation material that will never be opened in photoshop touch. However, when I get to the point in a presentation that I need to design something quickly, I'm faced with all 150+ folders showing up in 'local photos' in no discernable order. I only need 4 folders and about 12 sub folders that I will return to 3-4 times while creating the design. It is really time consuming to find the correct folder as they seem to be listed randomly. How do I isolate only the folders I need to see? Failing that, is there a way to get the folder/sub folder hierarchy to work? Failing that, can they be arranged alphabetically? Failing that, how are the folders arranged?

Do you know how the folders are listed? Perhaps I can just change the folder creation date to some time in the future to get them to populate to the top of the list. I've designed the content so that 130+ of our dealers with android tablets can use the program out in the field to quickly design signs with it --if I can only get over this hurdle.

If I accidently open a 2nd session of firefox resulting in two open windows when I close one window they both close and I lose my tab groups. How can I close just one of the two windows?

I have 3 profiles, one of which I typically use. I have firefox prompt for the profile when it loads. I recently renamed the profiles (earlier this week). So... the profiles do not exactly match the folder names for the profiles.

I don't understand what happened above, but ericn1, wasn't your problem that you tried to close one browser window using the red X, and ALL of them closed? How did any of the above help you solve your problem? jscher2000 gave you alternate methods of closing windows but said that closing a window with the red X "should" work. It doesn't work, because it is closing ALL your windows, not just the one you are clicking on. I am now having the same problem. with Firefox.
Understand I do not have the problem with any other program. In other words, I can open multiple windows in Paint Shop Pro, IE, Notepad, etc. and close one with the red X and all others remain open. It ONLY happens when using the Firefox browser.
The red X should close only the window that you are in when you click on it.
NOW, before someone suggests tabs, I don't like them and don't use them. My choice. Before someone says my browser is out-of-date, (3.6.13) I am using it because it was the last version that worked reliably on my computers, both at home (Windows 7 Professional) and my office (Windows XP Professional).
When I updated to the last Firefox browser, both computers started seizing up (nothing worked and had to reboot using power button) Removing that version of Firefox and going back to this version solved that problem. Fact remains, version has little to do with this problem. I've seen other posts around the net about this with different (newer) versions of Firefox.
So . . . does anyone have a solution to this that doesn't involve using keystrokes or hot keys to close windows instead of the red X that should work properly?

How can I hide a JPanel?

I have some JPanels and using the mouse motion listeners you can scribble on them. I want to be able to switch between these panels but the problem is the drawings get wiped off when I use repaint() and frame.add(panel).
Any ideas how else I could try doing this?

Ok thanks everyone. I've taken the MyPanel class from here http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/painting/step3.html
class MyPanel extends JPanel {
    private int squareX = 50;
    private int squareY = 50;
    private int squareW = 20;
    private int squareH = 20;
    public MyPanel() {
        setBorder(BorderFactory.createLineBorder(Color.black));
        addMouseListener(new MouseAdapter() {
            public void mousePressed(MouseEvent e) {
                moveSquare(e.getX(),e.getY());
        addMouseMotionListener(new MouseAdapter() {
            public void mouseDragged(MouseEvent e) {
                moveSquare(e.getX(),e.getY());
    private void moveSquare(int x, int y) {
        int OFFSET = 1;
        if ((squareX!=x) || (squareY!=y)) {
            repaint(squareX,squareY,squareW+OFFSET,squareH+OFFSET);
            squareX=x;
            squareY=y;
            repaint(squareX,squareY,squareW+OFFSET,squareH+OFFSET);
    public Dimension getPreferredSize() {
        return new Dimension(250,200);
    protected void paintComponent(Graphics g) {
        super.paintComponent(g);
        g.drawString("This is my custom Panel!",10,20);
        g.setColor(Color.RED);
        g.fillRect(squareX,squareY,squareW,squareH);
        g.setColor(Color.BLACK);
        g.drawRect(squareX,squareY,squareW,squareH);
}Now if I use this class to make two panels, how can I hide one and bring the other one up and vice versa, using two buttons? setVisible() still doesn't work properly.
Here's the whole code.

how can I hid the bar at the bottom of the App screen in itunes. Where it shows how much audio, app etc space you have left on your device

Unforrtunately the status bar doesn't make any difference, however I have worked out that the bar does show when I go into full screen.
I would have thought it should also work when not in full screen - it certianly used to.
