How to change value of array element using property node

hello all : )
im using an array of combo-box. the size of array is not fixed.
i want to use the strings[ ] property of combo-box to enter selection texts but since i have placed it inside the array im unable to use this property.
i used 'arrayelem' reference property and connected property node to it but didnt got strings [ ] in the selection.
so is there any way i can use the strings [ ] property

It might help...
hmm, it is more complicated as I thought )
edit: just to be CLEAR: so you want to create a new selection LIST for each of the array elements (comboboxes)) OR you just want to set all the comboboxes to a particular value which is ALREADY in the combobox list??

  • How to change value of constant for "Disabled" Property Node?

    Hello all,
    I'm attaching a vi example of what I'm wanting to do. It is happening during the event for "Left Selectorrogrammed 1: Value change.
    Basically I've created a property node for a LED boolean control. After it is clicked, I am wanting to disable it so the user cannot change the value (I have a reset all button for use on that).
    I've created the property node for this control for Disabled.  When I am in the block diagram, I change it to write mode.
    I've rt clicked on it, and said "create constant", which it does.  However, the constant comes up every time as "Enabled". I've tried clicking all over this constant, and looking through all the properties, but I cannot figure out how to toggle through the values or set the value of this constant from "Enabled" to "Disabled".
    I see where you can edit the items of this constant...but I'm guessing there is some way to toggle this constant to the value you wish....any suggestions?
    Thanks in advance,
    cayenne

    To change a constant value your cursor needs to be in the "finger" mode.
    You can select this by holding down shift and right-clicking on the diagram - then select the finger.
    Another way is to set Automatic Tool selection:
    Tools >> Options >> Environment >> Lock automatic tool selection
    With this option, LabVIEW will choose the tools for you.
    Play with it a bit to see how it works.

  • How can I change the precision of a numeric array indicator using property nodes ?

    I want to change the precision of a numeric array indicator programatically using property nodes. I tried to see all the array properties but I couldn't find it. URGENT !!!

    If you want to change the precision of an element in an array you must first get the reference to the array element. Then raise the reference to the more specific class of a digital numeric. Use a property node connected to that reference to set the precision. See the attached vi for an example.

  • How to show/hide sliders on a slider control using property nodes?

    If I have a slider with multiple sliders on it how do I change which sliders are visible using property nodes? The only property I have found is making the entire control to be visible or not.  This is a possible solution to have two different controls, one slider with only one slider and another slider with two sliders overlapped, but not desirable.
    I found on a thread in the forum that it is possible but the user did not provide any specifics about which property it was. (http://forums.ni.com/ni/board/message?board.id=170&message.id=181279&query.id=34404#M181279)
    I would appreciate an example VI if possible (Preferred version is 8.5 but versios 8.2, 8.0, and 8.6 are available to me).

  • How can I set the caption text of picture controls inside an array or how can I choose which array element is assigned using the array elements caption text property.

    I have 8 picture controls inside an array and I would like to set the caption text of these controls.
    I have used the property node of the array and used the array elements property caption text to set the text.
    The problem is however that I set the same text to all the picture controls inside the array.
    My question is how to set caption text of specific elements (Picture control) that I have so far only been able to access using the array elements caption text property.

    Some more help
    1 You could use the caption of the array and place it in front of the selected picture and update that using property nodes.
    2 Like Norbett said if you use a cluster of pictures then their caption can be updated individually.
    Here is a an example that demonstrates the above

  • Why knob need to use property node to change its value

    Refer boiler vi in CLD exam sample question. 
    In the vi the knob vlaue is changed with a property node, it is not wired directly to a constant. The comment in the vi is something like "writing using property node because of the latch action of the booleans in the cluster"...
    Huh? How do the booleans influence the knob even though they are in a same cluster? What principle is this called? I need to google this up,  I didn't read it in.
    my Labview books.

    Boiler Main LV86.zip ‏61 KB

    That comment doesn't make any sense.
    There are two main reasons I can think of why you want to use a Value property node.
    1.  You want to control the order of execution by using the error wire.
    2.  You want to use a property node on multiple controls by feeding it references to different controls.
    Neither of these appear to apply in the screenshot you show.
    However, looking deeper, it looks like you can set the value of a specific item in the cluster by way of the property node.  Check out the Link to section of its shortcut menu.  I don't think you can use a local variable to set a given element of the cluster.  Now you could change the value of the entire cluster.  Read the cluster, bundle the new value for that one element, write to a local variable of the cluster.  But you won't be allowed to do that because of the latched booleans that are a part of the cluster.  Hover over the context help of that property node and read the description there as well.

  • How to change value of ${eol} from \n to \r\n, writing by File Adapter

    Hi All,
    How to change value of ${eol} from \n to \r\n, while writing file through File Adapter.
    As my file is being created in Linux environment, so for new line separater, \n is used. I mounted this file directory to windows System.
    As Windows requires \r\n for new line seperator. So I need to change value of ${eol} in the Schema created for file writing.
    Can any one provide help regarding this.
    Thanks in advance

    Hi,
    When an XML payload is written to a file \n would be used as the default line separator regardless of if its windows or linux, as per the XML specification http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml/#sec-line-ends.
    As such, one need not worry about the line separators because, the XML file would eventually be processed by a parser which usually would be able to understand both line endings (as they are whitespace characters as far as the parser is concerned).
    If you want to convert the line terminators (for readability etc), 10.1.3.4 has a new feature - in the XML schema definition for the file adapter payload, add these two top level directives to the schema element:
    xmlns:nxsd="http://xmlns.oracle.com/pcbpel/nxsd"
    nxsd:normalizeLineTerminators="false"

  • How to change value of instance variable and local variable at run time?

    As we can change value at run time using debug mode of Eclipse. I want to do this by using a standalone prgram from where I can change the value of a variable at runtime.
    Suppose I have a class, say employee like -
    class employee {
    public String name;
    employee(String name){
    this.name = name;
    public int showSalary(){
    int salary = 10000;
    return salary;
    public String showName()
    return name;
    i want to change the value of instance variable "name" and local variable "salary" from a stand alone program?
    My standalone program will not use employee class; i mean not creating any instance or extending it. This is being used by any other calss in project.
    Can someone tell me how to change these value?
    Please help
    Regards,
    Sujeet Sharma

    This is the tutorial You should interest in. According to 'name' field of the class, it's value can be change with reflection. I'm not sure if local variable ('salary') can be changed - rather not.

  • Why is the first value missing in the Chart when I use Property Nodes to clear my Charts programatically ?

    Hello everybody,
    I am using Property Nodes to clear my Charts right at the beginning of the program. The Property Nodes (History) are outside a While-loop.
    When I connect a Chart with the counter-variable "i" inside a While-loop, the first point I see in the Chart is (0,1) instead of (0,0). It looks like the Chart misses the first point !
    If the Chart is outside the While-loop the Chart displays all points.
    Can anyone please explain this behaviour ? How can I solve this problem ?
    Thanks,
    Cesar

    Make sure you have the error output from the property node connected to
    the loop border. Even if the error os not used in the loop, this will
    ensure that the property node clears the chart before the loop starts
    running.
    What is probably happening is the loop start running at the same time
    the chart is being cleared, so the first point is also being cleared.

    Property node allows you to programmatically read/write that particular property of associated object. For example, say you have a String Control, and you want to modify its 'Display Style'... for that you need to create and use that particular property node (of the String control).
    Check the attached example.
