How often do you use the List bar to Navigate

Hi Ppl,
I'm trying to build a custom sequence editor. In the Sequence Editor while the executions are run the sequence file view tab is open. So most of the time I use the tab's to navigate between sequence view and execution view. However in the full featured UI the sequence view is not visible while executing. So we have to navigate using the list bar.
I wanted to know will it be better to implement the way sequence editor displays the sequence view while executing. I can use a combo box to navigate to various sequence files and executions within the respective views. How often you guys use the list bar to navigate ?
Thanks

Of course I have no idea what "isn't so great" means. Relative to what?
Is it worse than the current user search?
Is it better that the current user search but not as improved as the new forum search?
Is it just different?
Are the user search results better, but the interface is harder to use?
One thing could be improved. There should be a way to sort partial matches by the number of posts so inactive members don't  clutter the first dozen pages of the search result. For example, if I search for "Dennis", I want him on top of that huge list. (many, many pages!)
If I search for "Dennis K" I still want partial matches, but currently there is no result if I do that. (Why does "Dennis" return many matches while "Dennis K" returns nothing (!!?), and "Dennis Knutson" again works????)
To answer your questions as best I can, the new user search is just different. The way that it presents information is different (you can check out Lithium's community to see what I mean). When I do a search, the user I expect to show up first does not necessarily show up first - in that way, it's about the same as your Dennis example. I think the current search works better for me because as an Admin I get the ability to search more fields. 
On the plus side, you get the option to sort the user results by Login name (alphabetically), rank, posts, or registration date, all which could help you with finding Dennis.
So to summarize, I think the actual results will be similar with some added sort functionality. The user interface is very different, in more of a grid view as opposed to a list.   I don't know that I would classify it as better or worse.  That's a great wishy-washy answer, right?
Thanks,
Laura

  • How often are you using the Internet on the iPhone?

    I was wondering how often you guys are using the Internet on the iPhone?
    Do you guys enjoy using the the Internet on it?
    Also, do you like the keyboard on it?
    Just letting you know that I am typing this on my iPhone!!
    Sam

    I flew from PDX to DAB today browsing the internet both via wi fi (fast) and Edge (slow, but usable) at various airports and other locations. This browser is the best! I do not have to take a laptop with me anymore. The re size feature is the key, all phone browsers will have this in the future.
    Its been years since I was excited about anything in the tech world (and I own a Software company) but I gotta hand it to Apple they really did a job with the iPhone.

  • How often can you use o2 refresh?

    I'm just over a year into a 2 year contract and was considering using o2 refresh to get a better phone, but what if I wanted to this again in a years time? How often are you allowed to do it? Thanks

    If this is your first O2 refresh, and you are already with O2 on a standard 24 months contract (ie CPW) you also get 25% on the current contract cancellation fee.If you log in to my O2, and choose upgrade, it will tell you how much you have to pay

  • How to select songs using the search bar in iTunes for Windows 8.1

    Just today (8th May, 14) I couldn't select songs when using the search bar in the top right hand side of iTunes. I patched it but it didn't solve the problem, however once I ran as administrator it did fix the problem. Is there a way to not have to run as administrator every time I want to open iTunes and/or is there a way to fix this problem? I have iTunes pinned on my taskbar so by default it does not open iTues as administrator. Thanks

    Hi,
    This should be compatible issue.
    Please try to install the driver in Windows 8.1 compatible mode:
    Make older programs compatible with this version of Windows
    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-in/windows-8/older-programs-compatible-version-windows
    If you still find unknown device in your Device manager, right click to update the driver to see what's going on.
    For further troubleshooting, please post back the C:\WINDOWS\INF\setupapi.dev.log
    here for our research.
    You can update it onto OneDrive or the similar network device and share the link here.

  • How often should you do the maintenace cron scripts??

    Hi all,
    As the subject suggests, I just like to know how often should you run those maintenace cron scripts???
    thanks...

    * I don't know if this is the place for this question, if not, then I am sorry. *

    macuserguy,
    You may find Dr. Smoke's excellent FAQ about Running the Mac OS X maintenance scripts helpful.
    The FAQ suggests approximately weekly basis (especially if your Mac is shutdown or in sleep mode overnight) though perhaps more frequently if you have a smaller HD as these log files can take up alot of room.
    Hope that helps some,

  • How long should you use the Macbook is the fan is at Max?

    Hey all, the reason i ask is because sometimes when i visit a site with embedded video the CPU rises and heats up so the fan goes up to max. How long should you keep there with out damaging anything? Sometimes the videos are 45 mins, there tv shows and by 5th min is heated up and i dont want to keep it running for the rest of the 45 mins and wreck somthing. Whats the max time for that?

    Not really an answer but I was wondering where your computer is located or how you are using it? My kids were putting a quilted blanket on their lap and then running their notebook on top of the blanket. The blanket had a terrible insulating affect on the computer. And to make matters worse, sometimes the blanket would block the fan exhaust! I had to scold them and teach them to put something else on the blanket over their lap, like a book, and then put the notebook on the book. That really stopped the fan from running a lot.
    It's just something to be aware of. The MB will run cooler if there is space all around it.

  • How Often Do You Use Your Creative Play

    i use my zen micro about once every 2-4 days, or whenver im on the road. i guess the less u use it, the less chance the jack will break?(hope not jinxing it)

    it really depends on normal school days i was using it about 4 hours a day.
    whilst revisiong for my a-levels i would be in the libary all day so probably about 8-0 hours a day.
    now im on my supper holiday i use it about an hour a day.unless im doing something special, like car journey.
    btw, this is my zen micro. hence why the full battery was a big issue to me.

  • Do You Use the TestStand API Reference Poster?

    Hi,
    I dont use the hard copy. I unfolded the it the first time it appeared in version 3.0. Refolded it, put it back in the box and have never bothered with it since.
    I have used the electronic version now again, when I haven't got access to the programmer help doc which you find in the teststand\bin folder.
    I find its use limited, as it only really gives you the relationship between classes and a list of the properties and methods. This you can obtain for the help document.

  • How do you use the Multiple Item Information dialog box ???

    How do you use the Multiple Item Information dialog box ???
    Where are the instructions on how the information in the Multiple Item Information dialog box equates to ...
    1. The way iTunes sorts tracks and albums
    2. The reason to select a leading check box
    3. Why there are Option selections (Yes /No) and leading check boxes.
    4. Why some changes remain in the track info, but do not "take effect" in iTunes (Part of a compilation is an example)
    Looked in Help, Support, went to the local Genius bar for an hour, even arrainged a call from apple support ...
    Thanks

    As Christopher says, it's a compilation. Different tracks are by different artists.
    Setting the *Album Artist* field to *Various Artists* and setting *Part of a compilation* to Yes should be all that is required. Depending on your *Group compilations when browsing* setting ( I recommend On ) either should suffice but I suggest doing both.
    Based on your commentary, I selected all the "O Brother" tracks, and checked the boxes for everything line that was blank in the Info and the Sort panes. Only exceptions were the album name and the disc number 1 of 1 and the artwork. I blanked and checked anything else.
    That's not what I meant. When you select multiple tracks, only those values which +are already common+ to all tracks are displayed. Typically these will include Artist, though not with compilation albums, Album Artist, Album, No. of Tracks, Genre plus various sort fields. A blank value may indicate that different tracks have different values or it may be that the value is blank for all tracks. For the drop down values on the Options tab the value shown may not reflect the information in every tag. If values you expect to be common, such as Album Artist or the Album title are not displayed you can simply type these in and click OK. This will often be enough to group the album.
    If you place a checkmark against the blank boxes and apply changes then you will clear those fields so you should only do this if that is the effect you want. Putting a checkmark next to an empty (representing different values) *Track No.* box, for example, will just clear the all the track numbers which is very rarely useful.
    Adding then removing extra text is for a specific problem where despite all common values being identical across the tracks of the album iTunes seems to "remember" that it should see two albums. A typical example would be when an album originally listed as *Album CD1* & *Album CD2* is given disc numbers X of Y and then has the Album name changed to Album. I've seen iTunes merge all but one track into the new album, but insist on listing one remaining track separately, despite both albums having the same title. In this case I've found overtyping the album title again has no effect whereas changing it to AlbumX and then back to Album does what I was trying to achieve in the first place.
    Don't forget that even properly organsied albums may still break up if you don't chose an album-friendly view. Sorting on the track name or track number columns can be useful in some circumstances but in general I revert to Album by Artist when browsing through my library.

  • How do you use the status column to show progress of a step in an OI?

    Hi everyone,
    I was just doing a little browsing and noticed the picture at the top of the http://www.ni.com/teststand/ web page.  It shows a progress bar in the status column of a step being executed.
    I have several applications where this would be a very useful addition.  I use the progress bar at the bottom of the OI and sequence editor regularly, but would very much like to show progress of an individual step in the status column.  It would be particularly useful where you turn the tracing off into a sequence but want to see that progress is being made through the steps within it...
    Anyone know how to do this?  I have been unsuccessful in trying to find examples....
    Cheers,
    Barry

    James,
    I believe your answer to Bazza's question also applies to my situation, but I wasn't sure so I thought I would ask.  I am working on a custom TestStand operator interface in LabVIEW using the UI controls.  I would like it to behave as closely as possible to the old Test Executive.  Specifically, I would like the operator to be able to see the contents of the sequence file, interact with them, and see the execution results all in the same view.  Is that possible?  In other words, can I display and interact with a sequence file (display the sequence steps, run selected steps, loop selected steps, etc.) and display the sequence's execution results (including tracing) in the same SequenceView control or do I have to use 2 of them?
    Thanks,

  • How do you use the bluetooth VIs with a Microsoft Bluetooth Driver?

    How do you use the LabVIEW Bluetooth VIs with the Microsoft Bluetooth driver?  I have been trying with no such luck.
       I want to use 2 computers to talk to each other using the bluetooth VIs.  Eventually, I think we would like a PDA/phone to talk to a custom built electronics board with Bluetooth.  But for now, I would just like 2 computers to talk and then eventually talk to our own device. 
    One is a desktop w/ the Belkin F8T012 USB adapter.  It installs fine with the Belkin driver (but I know I need to use the Microsoft Driver in order to use the LabVIEW VIs, but I have tried to get Windows to install its own but it says it is a BCM92045DG-Flash.  It says it cannot install it because it cannot find the necessary hardware.  I thought this USB adapter was on the approved Bluetooth devices list?  What else should I try?  Another Bluetooth USB adapter? 
    The other computer is a Dell Latitude 820.  It has a built in Bluetooth module which I believe is the Dell 350 Bluetooth Module.  On this machine I have been able to setup a COM port with a bluetooth device (blood glucose meter).  It came with a serial port interface which we modifed to go through a bluetooth interface.  It comes up as COM40. We have been able to communicate to it using their program originally designed to talk through a serial port.  But we would like to use the Bluetooth VIs in LabVIEW.  I can't even use the Discover VI.  Perhaps it is not using the Microsoft Driver as well.  Do I just uninstall the driver and then try to have Windows install its own driver?  Do you have any other recommendations?
    Thanks,
       Javi

    Hi Javi,
    This sounds like an issue with Windows and your specific Bluetooth devices.  As you mentioned, the LV Bluetooth VI's do require that the devices use the Windows drivers.  Take a look at this link for specific requirements for using Bluetooth with LabVIEW.  Also, you can take a look at our Developer Zone tutorial on designing Bluetooth applications a found here.  Regarding your device drivers, sometimes it is as easy as uninstalling the driver and then letting Windows discover the device and fine its own driver.  You could check out the Microsoft Knowledgebase for more information.  Thanks and have a great day!

    When I log on to Firefox, I get this block that pops up saying, "Do you use the Yahoo! Toolbar on multiple computers? It has 2 buttons asking "Save to my Yahoo! ID or No thanks, just save to this computer" It drops down from the Yahoo toolbar, next to the Y! on the left side of the tool bar. I have tried the Save button and no response, I tried the No thanks button no response. I tried the underlined "Learn more" and it too no response. I tried the close X but that does not get rid of this box. I tried right clicking and no response. It stays there through out while working on the mail, I cannot access the that toolbar so I cannot use the buttons on this tool bar. Please help or I will have to try another browser to see if it go away.
