How can I programmatically change the colour of tab pages? If not, when?

I have found that in LabVIEW 6.0.2 the "Dialog" tab control cannot be coloured, but the other type of tab control one can be coloured by the paintbrush tool. I cannot find any property node to programmtically set the colour of the enitre tab control or individual pages. When will these properties be available in LabVIEW?

The dialog controls and indicators are designed
specifically for use in dialog boxes. These controls inherit their color from the colors you set in Control Panel >> Display. Because of this you will not be able to programmatically change their color.

First, if you want to start getting beyond the basics with DAQ, you are going to have to stop using the DAQ assistant and do it with lower level DAQmx VI's. There are hundreds of examples in the example finder. You can even right click on the DAQ assistant and select open front panel. That will create a subVI that you can open and see what is going on behind the scenes. Do it. I think you'll find the DAQ task is being recreated on each (though I'm not 100% of how the settings are established or maintained in each section of that subVI).
The second problem is you have a bit of a race condition on iteration 0. Those two DAQ property nodes are running at the same time. So when you read the AI.Max, it may be happening before or after the AI.Max is set in your case structure.
Third, make sure you wire up your error wires.

How can I programmatically change the voltage range settings in a DAQ Assistant

Hi,
First post here.
I need to be able to change the voltage range properties of a daqmx DAQ Assistant based on user input. My hardware, an SCXI-1102C does not allow changing this property on a running task, so I'd like to either set the analog input voltage range before the DAQ Assistant activates, or pause the DAQ Assistant immediately after it starts, set the values and then resume.
I don't know how to edit the task ahead of time because the DAQ assistant creates the task when it runs, and there is no task before that.
In the attached picture, I have a conditional section, set to run only if the while loop iteration is 0. I take the task from the Daq assistant, send it to a stop task vi, set the property, and then send the task on to the start task vi. I can watch it run with the debug light on, and everything seems to work correctly, but on the second (and all the other) iteration of the loop, I read out AI.Max and it seems like the DAQ Assistant has re set it back to 5V. Can anyone see what is going wrong here?
BTW, this is continuous acquisition and the code does not produce error messages when it runs.
I did come across a similar question that someone posted here back in 2006, but his question was specifically aimed at a Labview API (VB, I think), and not an actual G solution.
Attached are the actual vi in question and a png image of the block diagram.
Thanks!

How can I programmatically change the number displayed on a digital control?

In my application, there are two while loops. The inner loop has a digital control where the user can enter a number. If he enters an invalid number, I want to clear his input.

One way of doing is see attach..

How can I programmatically change a label?

Hi everyone,
I have a 2-D array that I wish to populate with different sorts of data. Depending upon the data, the names of the rows and columns may change. Arrays have to have identical labels and I suppose I could simply populate a string indicator, but frankly, that looks like trash.
How can I programmatically change a label of a column or a row in a 2-D array? Should I consider using a table? I want it to look nice.
Thanks,
Jason

Hi
I do not think you are able to change the label programatically.
But you might consider to use Captions instead of labels. You can hide labels and make captions visible programatically, and you can change the text of the caption and size (see enclosed vi).
take care

How can I manually change the height of the "Type ...

Hi all
Just got automatically installed the latest 6.22 version of skype few minutes ago and I got a few questions.
First and foremost, how can I MANUALLY change the height of the textbox, where I type the messages. I would like to make it larger, like in the previous versions of skype. I don't want to move my mouse cursor through the entire monitor to reach this tiny textbox.
And second, why you guys are trying constanly to ruin something that is working perfectly ? Going to revert to the previous version until you fix all these nuisances.
Regards

There is no way to do this, it is designed to be strictly landscape with keyboard, portrait without - not the best thought-out phone on the market, mainly geared towards compulsive texters and e-mailers.
There's no way to know whetherNokia will change this with any future updates, perhaps you should make the recommendation to them directly using the 'contact us' link.

How can you add/change the currency rate in spro?

Hi all,
you can add a new currency code by going to spro --- general settings --- check currency codes
for example: PERU ---> PEN
But, how can we add/change the currency rate PEN in spro?
for example: Peruvian Nuevo Sol = 4,3567619
Is it still in customizing? And if so, where can i find it?
Many thanks in advance.
Kind regards,
Pamela.

Hi Aman,
I have entered the field to add the new currency rate.
But the system doesn't want to valid my new rate.
I get the following error message:
"Input should be in the form ._,____ "
Do you know how to override that command?
Thanks.
Regards,
Pamela

How do I change the colour of a page in Pages without using a floating shape or text box?

I want to change the colour of a page in Pages without having to stretch out a floating coloured shape or using a text box to write the text in. I have been stretching shapes and using text boxes for years but surely there is an simpler and more elegant way to do this? Plus, I want to be able to type several pages of continuous text and not have to split the text up into multiple text boxes. Any help most welcome.

There are a whole lot more really essential features missing in Pages than this.

We are a retail shop which has a copy of AppleCare Protection plan. The box is not sealed. How can I tell if the product has been registered or not.

Since the only thing needed in that box is the small piece of paper with the (very long) registration code on it (usually found inside the booklet), see if that is actually there and, if it is, call Apple at 800-275-2273 and ask to be transferred to the Applecare department. Here is the link to the Applecare plan - just in case you may need it, see the fax numbers listed under para. 9 (Cancellation).

Change the data selection tab page in an InfoPackage

Hi SDN Community,
Is it possible to have an Infopackage and change the data selection tab page ? Because I would like to know if I can change the select-options by a parameter.
For example: Now you can enter 01.01.1950 as the start date and 31.12.9999 as the end date,
I only want that the user enter the start date.
Thanks a lot,
best regards.
Ana

Yes, I tried an abap routine option and the result is not good because the user can't put the information in the low (start date) parameter.
Thanks

Can I Programmatically Change the Active Group on a Hypertrend in DSC?

I would like to know how to programmatically change the active group of a hypertrend in Labview DSC. I saw a link which said it can be done in Lookout. But in the DSC module, the active group is read only.
I know of a hard way to do it. I could save the hypertrend settings as xmlSettings to a temporary file. The active group is one of the settings. I could then change the active group in this text file to point to the new group and then reload the settings. But this is not a clean way of dong it.
Anyone know if there is a easy way?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I found a way to do it but its not very clean. I dont know why there is not a function to change the current group.
Here is how I did it.

How can I programatically change the slave acquisition mode of my pci-1409?

In my LabVIEW application I need to be able to programmatically change the slave acquisition mode from standard to external HV lock. I couldn't find this property listed in the property node.

Nan,
When you change this property in MAX, you are actually modifying the camera file for the session (*.icd file). These file can be modified just like a text file. You could programtically modify parse and modify the "SlaveAcqMode (STANDARD)" line in the camera file to reflect the mode you want to use. Below is a KB that explains how to parse and modify an *.iid file, you can use the same method on the icd file.

What's a polymorphic terminal and why can't I change the colour of an LED?

Hi,
I've written a small vi to experiment with changing the
colour of an LED from the front panel by the user. (See attached.)
I've created a property node for the LED indicator and selected the 'Colors[4]' property.
I've then selected the 0th element of the array using 'Index Array' and used this as the cluster type on 'Bundle By Name' but no names appear in the elements.
When I then try to wire a colour box to the input of Bundle By Name I get a broken wire and the message: "This wire connects to a polymorphic terminal that cannot accept this data type".
And yet when I hold the mouse over the wire from the output of index array so it's just looking at one element of the colors[4] array in the help window I'm told it's a cluster made up of two U32's. Individually these are the same data type as the output from the colour box.
What's a polymorphic data type and what's the correct way to wire from the colour selection box to the Colors[4] property of the LED so the colour can be changed?
Any help much appreciated.
Thanks,
Dave.

Dave,
A couple of comments.
As CC said, you need to use the plain bundle node.
If you want to change the "ON" color, you need element 1, not zero.
Property operations should only be done exacly once whenever something changes, not 10000 times/second. Use an event structure.
See attached (LabVIEW 7.0). Modify as needed.
