How can I make an area of the front-panel have scroll bars?

I'm writing a VI that provides many options to the user. The front-panel is large and contains many controls ~130 of them, it's divided up visually to match the workings of the system the VI controls. One particular functional block has very many control options though these are rarely used. I can't fit all of the controls I need onto the screen area I have available.
What I would like is a way of making an area of the screen with scroll bars on it. I don't need any more than that, just an expansion of the front-panel area I have available. The "Sub-Panel" feature provides the scroll bars. But, a Sub-Panel is a way of accessing another VI, I don't want to do that. I could put the extra controls on the far-left or far-right of everything else and get the user to scroll the main scroll bars at the edges of the screen. The problem with that is that I it would mean couldn't lay out my front panel to match the system block-diagram as I have so far.
Does anyone know how to do this?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I know I can show the scroll bars at the edge of the VI. In my case that's not very useful. The front panel shows a block diagram of a system. It's made up of a set of clusters which control various parts of the system. I want to keep this layout because it's very useful in explaining to people new to the system how it works. I inherited that approach from a previous iteration of the program for an older system. The problem I have is that the new system has far more control parameters for one of the blocks. Unfortunately it's one of the blocks in the middle of the block diagram. If it were one at the left, right, top or bottom it would be no problem because the main scrollbars could be used.
I can use a tab-control, that's my fall-back plan. The problem is that would be abusing the purpose of the tab control. In a tab control each tab is supposed to deal with a group of controls that have a common connection. So, all the things in tab #1 are supposed to be connected in some way and all the things in tab #2 are supposed to be connected in some way. There not supposed to be a way of gaining more screen space.
The controls I'm dealing with are numeric controls, switches and rings.

After installing Firefox 6, when I click on an e-mail (thunderbird) link, Firefox stays on the backround and does not open in front. How can I make firefox come to the front automatically when a link is clicked?

If I receive an e-mail on thurnderbird with a link to a URL, if I click it firefox will open in the background, but it won't automatically com to the front, but will stay in the back. I have to click on the thurnderbird icon to make the firefox screen come up.

See this lnk for a fix, it worked for me!

How can I make a folder in the TV for my home movies

How can I make a folder in the TV shows for my home movies collection? I have created a folder in the library in finder and put all the videos in there but they do not appear in itunes.
pshultz

It's best to never move iTunes media around in Finder. Add it to the Library through the iTunes interface by dragging them into the window. Once they've been added to the library, you can try using Get Info on the files in iTunes and change the tag info to make them group together. (A unique album name should do this.) If you want them to be included with TV Shows, you can try using Get Info to set the Kind to TV Show (found under the Options tab in Get Info), but I'm not sure if it will work. Otherwise, you could make a playlist and drag them into to access them all in one convenient spot.
If you add the items as noted above and they still do not appear in your library, it's probably because they are not a compatible format.

How can I make iTunes sort on the first word by default, even though that word is "The" or "A"?

How can I make iTunes sort on the first word by default, even though that word is "The" or "A"?
I myself think that (for instance) "A tribe called Quest" should be sorted under "A", not "T".
Now I can edit the sort options manually per track and/or per selection, but I would really like to just kill this "iTunes-knows-how-you-should-sort"-feature in iTunes.
Anyone any suggestion on how to do that?
Thanks

Here is a modified version of one of Doug's Scripts. My modification was to add Sort Name to the list of tags that could be changed. I tried it on a single track and it worked. I recommend backing up your library first. Select the tracks you want to change (or all tracks) and run the script from the Applescript Editor. If it works as intended, save it so you can apply it to newly imported tracks. And, yes, I know this isn't the exact answer to your question, you want to change a preference setting in iTunes (if there is such a setting).
Original script can be forund at http://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/ss.php?sp=thistagthattag
Modified script is below. Start up Applescript Editor, paste it into a new window. Start up iTunes and select the tracks to modify. Click Run in the Applescript Editor. Follow the instructions.
(* Put This In That
v2.0 april 22 2008
- runs as universal binary

- consolidated code
- saved as script bundle
v1.7 October 3, 2006

How can I make different catalogs from the same image

How can I make different catalogs from the same image where that image has been changed in some way between the catalogs. For instance if I wanted to have a catalogs for cropped images and have 3 catalogs one for 4x6 , 5x7 and 8x10 cropping. When I tried this , if I changed a file in one catalog that same image in the other would change also.

Do not confuse the creation of the crops and the display in collections per crop ratio.
Of course one virtual copy (VC) per crop ratio is needed. If the same image should be cropped in all 3 mentioned ratios there would be 3 VCs.
The OP asked how to have/see a set of same-crop-ratios.
After having created the virtual copies for whatever crop ratio he wants, the way to display this result in the fashion asked for is via smart collections, provided they can be found. Without a plugin the naming of the VC with the crop ratio applied is a straight way to achieve that.
IF the wish is to get new crops automatically added. (See my answers 2+3)
IF the wish is to creat static collections per crop ratio for a certain set of images, I'd go as follows:
1. Select all images you want to have cropped in that way,.
2. With this selection click on the + to add another collection and fill the dialog box like this:
Then navigate into this newly created selection and perform the 4x6 crop - according to taste individually or by synchronizing the first crop.

if you try to install an app that depends on adobe air, you should be prompted to download and install adobe air (unless it's already installed).
you can download and install directly so you're not prompted by that app, Adobe - Adobe AIR

Why would you think that all stores would have the same policy?
Amazon allows it, iTunes does not. That is why. Like most companies, Apple does not forward explanations to al of their decisions to the general public. It does not have to make sense to you, for it to be true. Apple has teams of experts that have determined that this is how they should conduct their business.
With iTunes, you cannot use other countries stores.
