How to Access Item Names Property of ListBox inside of Cluster?

In LabVIEW 2010 I have a Cluster of Controls on the Front Panel. In that Cluster I have a ListBox. How do I access the Item Names Property of the ListBox in my Block Diagram.
From the Cluster, I can get the ListBox, but that returns an I32 value, probably the index of the selected Item.
In the Block Diagram, how can I get the Item Name Property of the ListBox from a Reference to the Cluster?
THANKS.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

by using the "controls" array of your cluster, you can access the individual elements. You have then to convert the reference to a "more specific class" using a reference to an arbitrary listbox (or a constant reference of the required type), then you can access all properties of your listbox.
THINK G!! ;-)

How to accessing item renderers in action script??

Hi
I am working on itemrenderes in Flex!
I have link button component as item renderer inside one of the data grid column, please find my piece as below!
Now how do we make that item render invisible once we click on it!
We need to make that link button invisible to the user!
Let me know how to access like this!
public function onClick():void {
 // we use our custom component as the template for the popup window
 var confirmWindow:TitleWindow = TitleWindow(PopUpManager.createPopUp(this, ConfirmationPopUp, true));
 // you will only need to take care of the yes response since you don't have to do anything
 // if the response was a no
 confirmWindow.addEventListener("selectedYes", function():void {
 //Alert.show("Can be Upgraded to an Alarm");
 upGradeEventToAnAlarm();
 confirmWindow.addEventListener("selectedNo", function():void {
 public function upGradeEventToAnAlarm():void
 eventRO = new RemoteObject();
 eventRO.destination = "eventBrowser";

How to access the Name label tag of a layer.

Page item name property in UI

Does anyone know if the name property of a page item appear anywhere in the user interface in Illustratpr CS6?
I thought it would be the name you assign to it in the Layers palette, but it does not appear to be.

You have an opened document with page items?
try this:
app.activeDocument.layers[0].pageItems[0].name = "my Item #1";
app.activeDocument.layers[0].pageItems[0].selected = true;
app.redraw();
alert(app.activeDocument.layers[0].pageItems[0].name);

How to access the Requirements property (& subproperties) of steps and sequences with the TestStand API

The concept of associating teststand objects to unit requirements for traceability purposes was added to TS 3.5, and I need to find out how to access the array of strings used to store unit requirements in step objects, sequence objects and sequencefile objects. The teststand help file points out that the requirements list of a sequencefile object is accessible using the PropertyObjectFile interface, and also points out that Requirements is a property of the sequence and step classes. Furthermore it implicitly states that the requirements property has a Links subproperty which is an array of strings, but that is pretty much the extent of the documentation on this new feature so far. There seems to be no expression function available to get to those requirements either.
I know that this feature was added to allow TestStand to interface with RG, and I am planning on using RG, but I would also like to do things with the requirements information within TestStand.
Anyone?

Are you talking about the Requirements Gateway? It is a separate product from NI that will do what you are looking for. I haven't used it so I am not sure of the API chain to make it work. Take a look and see if that is what you were thinking of.
Hope that this helps,
Bob Young
Sorry, I just re-read your original post and see that you are looking to also use the Requirements Gateway, so you obviously know about it. I don't know what the API changes were that made it work so I am not going to be much help.
Sorry about posting before getting the correct information from the original.

Dynamically access item names from plsql block?

hi folks - is it possible to access the block/item names inside a form, from a plsql block within the form? does that make sense, probably not, it's gone 5pm and my brains fried today.
I want to try and control access to various items from within a back end table. Then in the form startup, I wanted to loop through the item names, fire them through to a check_access() function, and display or hide them depending on the result.
does that sound possible, to get the item names at runtime, or do I have to hard code each item name I want to pass to the function?
ps. forms 10g
thanks.

How to get item names as column headings???

Hi,
I've given all the items in my complex folder nice user-friendly names, which can be seen in Desktop and Plus, but when I pull them into a worksheet the column headings revert to the underlying column name. Also, in Plus the list of selected items shows this underlying column name while the list of items in the folder shows the user-friendly names! This is really confusing for users.
Is there a way to get Disco to use the item names? Or do I have to go back to the underlying tables and views and recreate them with my user-friendly names?
Thanks

In Administrator when I look at the item properties, it shows my user-friendly item Name as the item Heading as well, but when I go into Desktop and pull the items into a worksheet, the worksheet column headings SOMETIMES default to the item Identifiers (or the underlying table/view column name in the item Formula), NOT the item Headings.
Here's an example - I have 3 numerical items:
1. Name and Heading are both "IP EL Spells", Identifier is "MONTHLY_ACT_EL", Formula is ""V pbc running totals 0406".Monthly act el"
2. Name and Heading are both "IP EL Spells YTD", Identifier is "RUNNING_ACT_EL", Formula is ""V pbc running totals 0406".Running act el
3. Name and Heading are both "IP EL Spells Prev YTD", Identifier is "PREV_ACT_EL", Formula is ""V pbc running totals 0406".Prev act el"
When I pull these into a crosstab in Desktop to sum them, the column headers are:
1. IP EL Spells SUM
2. Running act el SUM 1
3. Prev Act El SUM
The first heading is correct, the second seems to be based on the Formula or Identifier but I don't know where the "1" comes from or why "act el" are in lower case, and the third also seems to be based on the Formula or Identifier, but in mixed case.
I'm baffled!

How to change property of control inside a cluster?

Hello,
1)
I have cluster with dozen controls (booleans and slides).
I want to change the slides control scale property in runtime.
Im doing UnbundleByName to the cluster to pick the right slide, but how i continue from here? how i access to that slide property?
2)
The main problem is that i have vi with lot of controls, and i want to find a way to save the control values to file, so i decide to insert all those controls to cluster, and to use datalog...Is there any other elegant way?
Tnx,
HaD
Message Edited by HaD on 08-06-2007 03:43 AM

Hi HaD,
controls usually have properties for Caption and Label. You can check one or both for the name of your control...
The array of control references should contain the references in the tabbing order, but it's always a good idea to cross-check that you use thoe correct reference

Hi Mujno,

Yes, as you said, we can not access the textblock controls which are in the DataTemplate by using their names in the .cs file. But we can use the
VisualTreeHelper to help us find these textblock controls.
I have created the following example, in my example the PM_MLimitedBody textblock will be hidden in the ShowFullBody_Tap event, for more information, please try to check it:
private void ShowFullBody_Tap(object sender, TappedRoutedEventArgs e)
TextBlock MyTextBlock = (TextBlock)MyFindListBoxChildByName(this.myPM_MListBox.ContainerFromItem(this.myPM_MListBox.SelectedItem), "PM_MLimitedBody");
MyTextBlock.Visibility = Visibility.Collapsed;
public static DependencyObject MyFindListBoxChildByName(DependencyObject parant, string ControlName)
int count = VisualTreeHelper.GetChildrenCount(parant);
for (int i = 0; i < count; i++)
var MyChild = VisualTreeHelper.GetChild(parant, i);
if (MyChild is FrameworkElement && ((FrameworkElement)MyChild).Name == ControlName)
return MyChild;
var FindResult = MyFindListBoxChildByName(MyChild, ControlName);
if (FindResult != null)
return FindResult;
return null;

First time is shows properly but if i scroll then some random row is also appearing in bold, also when ever this set data function is getting called some random rows are coming in bold.
Please let me know your input

How to access instance name? need help here.... :D

using actionscript..
if i have a movie clip in my Scene 1 and inside that movie clip is another symbol e.g. a button, how will i reference the instance name of that button in my Scene 1. tnx!

Use the dot operator. Say for example you have a movieclip with instance name mysymbol and it has a child symbol button with name childsymbol then you use mysymbol.childsymbol on the main timeline. Try also to trace the symbols to see if they exist like trace(mysymbol) or trace(mysymbol.childsymbol)

Flatten to XML does not save Item Names of ListBox to XML file.

On my Front Panel, I have a ListBox Indicator that has Strings from which the User can select. Also the User can edit items in the ListBox to add new elements. After the user selects one and pushes my Save button, I use the Flatten to XML function to save the selection in an XML file. But Flatten to XML only saves the Value (index of the selected item(s)) to the XML file and not the ListBox Item Names. That is enough information to reconstruct which of the String data that the user selected.
In a ListBox where a User is selecting among a list of Strings, shouldn't the Flatten to XML function also store the String(s) that were selected?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Dennis Knutson wrote:
The control is a U32 which is no different than placing a regular numeric control on the front panel. The flatten to xml is only passed a numeric value in both cases. It can't record something that you do not pass to it. The state of the control is the numeric value and the state can be reconstructed with that numeric. If you want to reconstuct the strings (which are not states), use the property node.
I disagree. A ListBox that contains Stings to select from is full of String information. Both I and the User entered those Strings into the ListBox. It is the only data in the Listbox that we see. It is the most important information in the ListBox. The Strings are present in the Item Names. The Flatten to XML does have access to the Item Names and can and should provide them. Neither I nor the User are interested in the Numeric Index of the Selected Items. That is useless information to us. Both of use are dealing with Strings. If the State of the ListBox control is to be reconstructed from the XML data provided by the Flatten to XML function, then the Strings (Item Names) in the Listbox must be provided in the XML data.
