How do you select an item from a table indicator with a mouse click and then use that selection in code?

Hi,
I am displaying a list of filesfrom a directory  in a table on the front panel of a VI as part of a program I am developing. I would like the user to be able to select from that table so that particular file can be processed. Is there a way to do this?
Thanks,
Aaron

you'll find that most of the useful functionality of the labview user control interface is hidden within the property node and invoke node functions. just right click a control or indicator terminal on the block diagram and mouse over to create, then to property node or invoke node. lots of fun stuff in there. attached is an example. one file is saved for labview 8.0, the other is saved for labview 8.6.

    How do you transfer the content from an iPhone to a PC? I have to use a PC for a while and don't know how to put my stuff on to there from my phone

    If you're talking about music and movies an i-device was not designed for unique storage of media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was planned with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. Syncing music and movies is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchases which can be transferred from a device to a computer.
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only purchases from iTunes Store
    For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software.  See this document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991

  • Select a small area and then use the selected area to paint other areas of the image

    Hello
    My problem is a little hard to explain but I try.
    What I want is to select a small area and then use the selected area to paint other areas of the image. Do not know how to do it and if it's stamp tools or pen tools to be used?

    Howdy.
    Sounds like you're looking for the Clone Stamp Tool. Set to Aligned, the sampling point resets when you release the mouse after painting. Untic Aligned and the sampling point stays in the original spot for the next stroke. It's a good idea to clone onto a separate layer with Sample All Layers selected. Then you don't lose original pixels. Allows you a do over later.
    FWIW.
    Peace,

  • How can I select an item from a list component with a seperate button

    This is a repost, I decided it'd probably be better here than
    in the general discussion board. I will try to delete the other
    one.
    Hello Everyone,
    This is my first post here. I am trying to figure out how to
    select an item within a list component with a button. This button
    is calling a function. I have searched for the past 3 hours online
    and I can't find anything about it. I thought perhaps I could set
    the selectedItem parameter, but that is read only, and I believe it
    returns an object reference rather than something like a number so
    even if i could set it, it would be pointless. I also found a get
    focus button, thought that may lead me somewhere, but I think that
    is for setting which component has focus currently as far as typing
    in and things like that. I am lost.
    Basically I am looking for a way to type this
    myList.setSelected(5); where 5 is the 5th item in the list.
    Any help would be much appreciated.

    Never mind found it. It is the property called selectedIndex
    and it is writable

  • Question: How do you remove Menu Items from showing up in LC

    Hello everyone:
    If someone can please point me in the right direction in how to convert app.hideMenuItem("Toolbars"); to the XFA SOM?
    I am creating the form using Adobe Distiller from an access report.  I change the Interface Options in Acrobat to hide file and toolbar menus, but when I convert it to LC, the options are removed.
    I also scripted app.hideMenuItem("Toolbars"); in the Page.Open event using Acrobat and when I convert to LC the code does nothing at the subPage1.Initialize event.  Not even when I reopen the converted form in Acrobat does the script run...
    What is the best method of hidding menu items using LC Designer?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks for your time,

    Ivan,
    Here is what liitle I know on this topic.
    The attached doc was created when Designer 7 was released and it has a table of the Acrobat JavaScript APIs and there equivalents, if any, in Designer. According to that doc, app.hideMenuItem() is supported in Designer and there is no Designer JavaScript equivalent.
    My brief look at this matter leads me to believe security constraints since Reader 6.0 have changed the rules.
    I recommend you take a look at trusted functions and context in the Acrobat 9 SDK.

  • How do you remove the borders from a table item

    In OAF I have a set of data stored in a table that I must display. However, I must make it look like it is not in a table. I can't use a tablelayout because it is a set of records and records are constantly being added. How do I remove the borders and the pagination from the table?

    I think you can't do anything about this.
    Change you design as per Browser Look and Feel standards.

  • How do you remove an item from launchpad

    how do I remove the old pages, numbers and keynote from the launchpad after installing the renewer ones from the app store???

    LaunchPad is an odd puppy. After invoking LaunchPad you hold the option key to get the apps hopping (ala the iPhone) and an X will appear on programs you've downloaded from the Mac App Store. This doesn't just remove the app from the LaunchPad, it also deletes it from your computer. Programs you've installed from discs or downloaded from plaes other than the MAS won't have an X. You'll have to delete them by dragging them to the trash. They should then disappear from the LaunchPad - if not restarting the computer should do it.
    Note: iWork '09 on the MAS is the same as the disc version iWork '09. You'll only benefit from buying the MAS versions if you have an older version than that.

  • How do you send an email from a sub account with mail app.

    We have about four sub-accounts with .mac all tied in with our sign in name. Is it possible to compose an email from the other email addresses with the iphone.

    you have to set it up with Mail on the home computer. I forget how many aliases you are allowed to have.
    To set up an alias:
    Choose Mail > Preferences, and then click Accounts.
    Select your MobileMe email account and click Account Information.
    Click Edit Email Aliases, and sign in to MobileMe to create email aliases.

  • How do you go to marker  when there is a wait for mouse click between the markers?

    I cant seem to get by the wait for mouse click, when using                          go to (marker)
    I have a game that I have 2 push buttons one is
    on mouseUp me
      go to frame 9
    end
    on mouseUp me
       go to frame  29
    end
    There is a wait to click in between these 2  frames and when I click on the  2nd button to go to frame 29  it stops at the wait to click?
    I have tried  all these below and cant get past the click to wait?????
    go
    go to frame
    go to marker
    _movie.go
    _movie.marker
    _nextMarker=

    Think this issue is resolved but to ensure the full answer is available, here it is.
    First, it's a bad idea to use the Tempo channel at all. You can use a script to do anything that you can do there. I have Lingo alternates to the Tempo channel at:
    http://www.deansdirectortutorials.com/Lingo/tempoLingo.htm
    (think I need to update this page though)
    So - DO NOT USE the Tempo Channel setting - Wait for Mouse Click or Key Press.
    The above setting creates a type of pause that interferes with other interactivity.
    Instead - use a 'Hold on Frame' behavior (from the Library Palette - Navigation category) or it could be written as:
    on exitFrame
    go the frame
    end
    Once you have the above behaviour in you desired frame, you can attach a sprite behaviour to your buttons / links. A good one to use is the ‘Jump to Marker Button’ behaviour in the Controls category of the Library Palette. You can attach this behavior to different sprites and just change the marker setting of the behavior, removing the need to have individual hard-coded scripts for each button.
    Next – DO NOT link to frame numbers. Always link to a marker. You may insert or remove frames. This would cause your incorrect links since the frame number would no longer the right point.
    Next – the following all do the same thing:
    go to frame “markername”
    go to “markername”
    go “markername”
    So, you can leave out ‘frame’ or even ‘to’ as they are not needed. I still use ‘go to’ as it feels more natural to me (just history).
    or you could use:
    _movie.go("dean")
    Don’t use
    go to marker “markername”
    I think that did work at some point but not anymore.
    marker can be used as follows:
    go marker (-1)
    Where -1 is the amount of markers back (could be forward as well).
    Well, that gives the detailed answer to your question.

  • How do i get saved items from my desktop mac to my new I6. Had a I4 that got wiped out.

    How do i get my saved items and contacts from my desktop mac to my new iPhone 6. Had a iPhone 4 that crashed.

    Hi Jimmyb51,
    Thanks for participating in the Apple Support Communities.
    If you have information and content in Contacts and your iTunes library on your Mac, you can sync this data to your iPhone using the steps found at this link:

    If you were using iCloud on your iPhone 4, see these links for setting it up on your iPhone 6:

  • How do you move an iphone from one mac to a new mac when both are using Itunes Match

    I have an Imac (Mountain Lion) with two users sharing an Itunes account (Ver 11).  We each have iphones syncing to the computer (and to icloud separatly). I have just activated Itunes match on the IMac and on both phones.  I just bought a new MacBookPro and have activated Itunes match on it so I am sharing Itunes. Now, I want to move one of the iphones to the new MacBook and have it backing up to that computer instead of the Imac.  How should I proceed with synching the phone with the new computer?  How about the photos on the iphone?  Will they just load into the iphoto library on my new MacBook Pro. 
    Also, can I still synch the phones manually and move over playlist from Itunes to the phone?  I am assuming that when you turn off itunes match on the phone those playlists will be active.  I want to make sure that say, when I am on a plane or have no wifi or cell, that I can still use the phone as an Ipod.  With Itunes match you are streaming and always need a signal.  There has to be a way to retain the simple music player functionality, right?  

    There's too much above for me to specifically answer your questions, but I'll assume from the title that you're basically trying to sync to a new computer.  So here are some articles to help you.

  • How do you stop your phone from creating two albums with the same photos after syncing?

    When I first bought my phone I was able to sync my photos by checking the folder I wanted synced under iTunes. This put all those photos on photo library on my phone. I recently added more photos to that folder and tried to sync them it now put them in the photo library album and also created another album with my folder name. So I have two albums with the same photos. I tried in checking that folder in iTunes and of course they're not in my photo library. Please help. I don't want two albums with the same pics

    This is how Apple has always handled photos.  nothing has changed at all.
    Just as your music is in your library and you can access those exact same songs from a playlist, all of your synced pics are in the Photo Library and those exact same photos (NOT duplicates) can be accessed from the album name that you chose to sync.
