How do I get the front-panel to pop to the front of the screen?

I have a program that is reading in some network files. When a certain part of the file has been changed I want to pop up the front panel and blink the changed area. The blinking is easy and I can get the VI to pop to the front of any other running LV stuff (using the IsFrontmost vi property) but I need the vi to pop to the front of the entire screen and whatever else is running (Excel or the such). Any ideas on this? I'm doing the development on LV 6.1 on Win2k.
Thanks,
Gary

Hi Gary,
There is one thing I think you may have to do. If the window is minimized than it will try to make it topmost but the minimize will take precedence, so you will see the task bar blink and the OS stays in the active/current window. Try to use the "restore window" vi before trying to make it topmost. That should work.
Also make sure that, the LV window you are trying to restore and make topmost is not superceded by another LV modal window.
Thats my take, Let me know if that works, for future reference.
Good Luck
Mache
I've tried putting in the Restore Windoe vi and the results are the same. Both of those functions (seperate or together) result in the window moving to the top of the other LV screens only. If I have Word or explorer or anything else open, that window will stay on top and the task bar flashes. Can I use the "move window to front" vi in my main vi to move my main vi's front panel to the front? If not are there any ways to get around this? My program is mostly running in the background but when there's an important change I need it to move to the front and take precedence for a few seconds.

How can I get the screen to lock on my iPhone 4, so I don't press buttons while talking?

I just upgraded to the iPhone 4. When I am talking on the phone, the screen doesn't lock, so I am constantly pressing buttons or hanging up on the person I'm talking to. How can I get the screen to lock while I'm talking? It's driving me NUTS.

The otterbox is one of the culprits. Take the phone out of the case and see if it still happens. If so it is not the case. If the problem goes away, then you may need to make the hole slightly larger. My family has three iPhone 4's in otterboxes and none have this problem. Other users on this forum have reported success with the above methods.

The Font is fine for pringing

Mac's don't have UI scale options like Windows has.
Either you can drop the screen resolution in Displays a wee bit and make things appear distorted, or do what I do and use the Universal Access and set a control key, then use a mouse wheel/scroll to zoom in and out where the mouse is pointed.

How do I get the screen to refresh when drawing a line larger than the art board

How do I get the screen to refresh properly when drawing a line larger than the art board when the screen scrolls? Everything turns white in CS6, CS5 and CS4.

Existing art - not the new art. The new art just gets a proxy shape - seen in my example as the blue rectangle. The existing art is what gets smeared as you drag past the edge of the screen. If it's anything other than an Ilustrator thing, it's a Mac thing. I've never known it to be any other way other than maybe in the past showing blank white instead of stuttered art on probably 10 different macs over the years.
Take any art that you've ever created. Zoom in so that your art is bigger than your screen (so that there's somewhere to scroll). Rectangle tool (or move, scale, rotate(?) something, or draw a line) Start your rectangle anywhere, drag so that you are at the edge of the screen, causing it to scroll. The existing art will get all effed up. The rectangle you're drawing will draw as you expect it to - that's not the issue.

Face hits buttons while I am on a call. How do I get the screen off when I am talking? Obviously new to iPhone!
Thanks

The iPhone has a proximity sensor that will turn the screen off if you hold the phone up to your ear. Don't hold it inches away hold it up close and the screen will go dark, hold it away from your ear and the screen will come alive.

HT4623 I clicked on an e-mail and now my IPad is stuck and the screen will not convert back to my e-mail list. How do I get the screen to go back to my original mail list?

My mail screen will not convert to the original mail listings. this happened when I clicked on an attachment sent with an e-mail. How can I get the mail screen unstuck?

Hi donna Ifromwa,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If your iPad is unresponsive after clicking on an attachment and you cannot return to your email inbox, I recommend forcing the attachment and Mail app to close using this method:
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app's preview up to close it.
These steps come from this article:

If you still cannot access your email, restart your iPad next:

My i phone 4 screen suddenly starts showing funny and distorted images then goes blank. how do i get the screen back to normal.?

my i phone screen starts blinking and showing funny and distorted images before going blank. now it's blank,how do i get it back to normal.?

Did you already try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again? You will not lose data, but a reset can cure some glitches.
If this does not work, try to set it up as new device, explained in this article:
How to back up your data and set up as a new device
Don't use the backup afterwards, to rule out a software problem. If the camera is working again, restore from the backup.

How do i get the screen on my ipod 5th generation fixed

Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $99 for 16 GB one and $149 for the others. They do not fix yours.

Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

Had a power outage and my iMac is on but the screen is black. How do I get it to light up again?

Your system may have suffered hardware damage if not connected to a UPS (Universal Power Supply), you can try doing a SMC reset, please click iMac SMC and PRAM reset for instructions. If that does not work make an appointment at your local Apple Store or AASP. BTW you can find UPS's at your local office supply store.

I dropped my ipad ... how do I get the screen fixed?, I dropped my ipad ... how do I get the screen fixed?

Bah! I dropped my ipad on concrete today! It landed on a corner, kind of bending the corner and shattering the screen. It's only 10 months old! What can I do?

Make an appointment and take it to your local Apple store. If you have apple care plus then you can get a refurbished replacement for a service fee. If you don't have apple care plus then the out of warranty replacement fee starts at $249 and goes up depending on the model.
You can take it to an unauthorized place. The repair will be cheaper but it is a 'at your own risk' kind of thing, and using an unauthorized place will void any remainder of your warranty against manufacturer's defects.

How can I get the screen to return to normal size after magnifying?

I've had my phone for a week and just encountered a problem I can't get out of. My nephew inadvertently held the phone with 3 fingers on the screen, now the screen is magnified and I can't get it back to normal. I've tried resetting the phone and the applie Icon came back, then my screen - normal size; but as soon as I touched the screen to put in my passcode the magnification came back on and the screen seems to 1) go in the opposite direction than I'm scrolling, when it moves at all and 2) I can't get it to go back to normal size - help

If you have trouble turning Zoom off from your iPod, connect the iPod to iTunes, click the Summary tab, and click the "Configure Universal Access..." button. Select neither under the "Seeing" section and click "OK".

After switching over to firefox, how do I get the screen resolution to be exactly the same on all pages where ever I browse?

I have a 21 inch HD screen. Some pages are the size that fits the screen and some pages come up rather tiny.

You can use this extension to set a default font size and page zoom on web pages:

When I go to itunes store, some of my screen is blacked out. How do I get the screen to be readable?

When I go to itunes store, most of my screen is nearly blackened out. The advertised albums show up okay, but I can't read anything else on the screen. Is there a simple solution to this without doing a phone call with itunes?

With that one, perhaps try Drgoo's suggestion from the following post:

Hi kloke,
In the loop in your VI, you have 12 FP_Reads and a write to spreadsheed function (which opens, writes and closes the file). It is not uncommon for such a Vi to execute slowly considering the overhead assosciated with each fieldpoint read. It may be helpful for you to combine all of your analog input channels into a single read and all of your counter channels into a single read. This will reduce the number of FP_Reads that need to be called. I have attatched a picture of what I'm talking about.
