How to check if two or more controls/indicators have the same name/label in LabView?

LabView does not show any rror if I name two controls with exactly the same name. It can be confusing. I am using LabView 6.1.

Some people like the fact that you can name things the same. Some even want to be able to have two VIs with the same name in memory at the same time. (Scoping rules to follow in future LabVIEWs.) You can write a small program that lists out the names of all the controls and indicators in a VI using the VI server property nodes. Oh, OK I'll give you an example. (See attached)

NewBie Q : How to make one clickable shape jump to a slide with the same name of the shape (button c_1 to slide c_1 f.e.) .

I made some clickable placeholders on a masterslide
Then : a new slide based on that masterslide
and want to use one script or shared action that says "on success jump to another slide with te samen name as the button...)
Sorry for this unusual semantic language.
But already thanks for answering!

PS I'm using a trial version to try out a branched interactive scenario. A choice of a user leads tot anothe slide with a video reaction followed by other choices,...)

Sorry, but I'm not a native English speaker, and I have some problems with your question.
The only interactive object that is possible on a master slide is a shape button. What do you mean by a 'clickable placeholder'? Why I like Shape Buttons - Captivate 6! - Captivate blog explains possibilities with shape buttons. Maybe the idea to have such a shape button on a master slide is not the best, because you cannot control objects on master slides since they do not have an ID. You cannot give a name to a shape button on the master slide, which means the scenario you are talking about is just impossible?
Moreover: Captivate doesn't like to have the same name/label to be used for different objects. There are some exceptions, you can have an advanced action with the same name as the interactive object that is triggering that action, provided you label first the interactive object before labeling the action. With "script" you probably mean an advanced action?
If you tried to explain what you want to do as detailed as possible, maybe I could propose something. You'll see that my blog is focussed on advanced and shared actions. One other puzzling sentence is 'same name as the button'? Are you really talking about the name of the button or about the label ON the button?

I have a problem when syncing my iphoto library to my iphone 3gs. There apprears to be more than 40 events with the same names but containing only 2-5 pics in my itunes sidebar when in fact I only have around 10 events on iphoto. How do I fix this?

This has never happened before, and I've tried deleting all photos off my phone then syncing them all instead of specific events and nothing. I have around 10 events in my iphoto library but around 3,500 pictures. I have more than enough space on my phone but I only like to sync certain events, so when I go sync them I notice there are over 40 events listed, and all of them have the same name but it seems as though each "event" has like 2 photos.. On my phone all the different events come up as well. This is super annoying, does anyone know how to fix this ?

I have the exact same problem!
I have about 25 albums and a total of 8,100 pictures. When i go to iTunes -> "My iphone" -> Pictures, and then check the box to sync choses events the list of events is messed up. The same events shows up like 3-4 times and the events only have a couple of pictures in them.
Does anyone know what can be causing this? Or what can be done to fix it?

I doubt that you can. Doesn't the Sound prefpane require you to select just one output device?

I have a serious (and bizarre!) issue with my novation impulse (Although i've tried it with two other keyboards and i still have the same problem) and its compatibility with mainstage 3

i have a serious (and bizarre!) issue with my novation impulse (Although i've tried it with two other keyboards and i still have the same problem) and its compatibility with mainstage 3.
the problem is best explained on the following one - page thread:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3951518?start=0&tstart=0
(Clearly i'm not alone in this problem, although i think i figured out what's going wrong a little more than he did...read on!)
his solution, to put mainstage in jump mode, is very unsatisfactory to me, as it bounces all of a sudden to drastically different settings.
basically, my analysis is that my controller is NOT receiving MIDI date from mainstage. in other words, mainstage knows what my controller is doing, but my controller doens't know what mainstage is doing.
let's say i turn the knob all the way to the right ... 127...and the virtual fader goes to the right like it's supposed to.
now...next...let's say i change to a different patch, where that same VIRTUAL fader is not at the max clockwise position..maybe it's only at 1pm. now when i turn the physical knob to the RIGHT, the midi data is still at 127 on the controller! it didn't "reset" to sync up with the new level (say 80 or so) setting on the new patch. so i can't increase that new setting of 80 by continuing to turn the knob to the right. i have to turn it all the way to zero,...and then continue PAST zero until the controller thinks that IT is at 0...at that point the controller and mainstage are in agreement, and things work fine....so bascially, the keyboard thinks the level is at max...but mainstage thinks the level is at 1pm.
i am using Logic 9, and i have a macbook pro 2.9 Ghz I7 with 8 gigs of memory and OS X 10.8.4

How to import images that have the same name as images already imported

I am trying to import images into LR3. I have a number of images with duplicate names. Some of them are duplicate images that I simply have stored in different directories and some are images that are not duplicates but have the same name. LR3 refuses to import any images that has the name of an image that has already been imported. Is there anything I can do about this. If not, it kind of makes the softwares useless to me.
In hopes of a solution . . .
--Kenoli

Thanks. I'm sure making sure all file names are discrete makes sense. I guess I need to find some kind of bulk re-name utility.
Additionally, I am dealing with a very large set of unorganized images and one of the uses I would like to put LR3 to is to organize the images into directories and get rid of duplicates while inspecting them to make sure that I don't trash differing images with the same names. One of the challenges is identifying these images so I can re-name them.
I have been working with Apple's Aperture, which doesn't rely simply on the name to identify images since it uses a more complicated algorithm to differentiate images from each other. It is one thing I really like about Aperture. What I like about LR3 is that it lets me use actually file directories to store images rather than moving them into its own file system like Aperture does. I don't like having files locked into a system that is software dependent.
Also, I finally found the checkbox that tells LR to import "duplicates." I couldn't find it before. I don't find LR3 as intuitive as I'd like. I've always had to spend more time figuring out how Adobe software does things than I would like. I've had little luck with Adobe's support site, aside from this forum.
Thanks for you helpful suggestions.

We have three Apple devices. They are all have the same name and are on the same apple ID. We would like to back up our Notes to the cloud. If we each create our own Apple email address will they create two separate Notes flies on the cloud or merge?

We have three Apple devices 2 IPhone 4's and one Ipad2. Only the Ipad2 is running the latest OS. They are all have the same name and are on the same apple ID. We would like to back up our Notes to the cloud. If we each create our own Apple email address (we don't have one yet) will they create two separate Notes flies on the Cloud or merge them?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Separate Apple ID's will result in separate notes. However when you first start with separate ID's unless one of you erases the notes you have, you will both start off with the same set of notes, but from then onwards each set won't sync with each other.

How does IITTrackCollection handle ItemByName if there are multiple tracks by the same name?

I am writing a program in C# that is trying to check if a track already exists in the iTunes Library before adding it (thus preventing duplicates). The best method I have come up to do this with is to use 'MyPlaylist.ItemByName(SongName)' to retrieve a possible duplicate and then compare the rest of that track's attributes (i.e. the artist and album). However, I have several examples of tracks in my library which have the exact same name, but are in fact completely different and unrelated. How is this handled by the iTunes COM? Or is there a better way to do it?

How to get folders/icons in all finder areas to have the same size?

I'm trying to make the icons in all areas of my finder appear a larger size. I've managed to make this happen by going into view/view options, but it seems to change it only for that window. If I go into a different window they are the "default" size of smaller.
How do I change it so that all windows open in the same look/feel?
Thanks.

Clayton Rhoades wrote:
I have tried that and it seems to "take" only for that group of windows (e.g., "applications", "movies").
Is that accurate? That I must do it with each "group" of windows. For example, if I have "music videos" as a folder with various artists folders, I have found that if I do "music videos" it seems to work for the folders inside. But I go to "tv shows" as a new window, I must repeat the process. True?
no. if you do this in one folder and use "set as defaults" it should apply to all folders no matter where they are located. delete the file homefolder/library/preferences/com.apple.finder.plist, control-option-click on Finder in the dock and choose "relaunch". this will reset your finder preferences. try setting default view options again.
Sorry if this is elementary.

Iphoto seems to be deleting old (several years old) images that hav the same name as new images being loaded. how can i fix this?

I was browsing some old photos in iPhoto11 and started getting 'image not found' errors. After much investigation, rebuilding thumbnails and extracting photos using fatface iphoto library manager it seems that newer photos with the same name as very old photos (Canon camera naming scheme IMG_nnnn.jpg) have caused the old photos to be deleted? I thought iphoto handled this situation but it seems not.
I never got any error or warning messages on importing the newer photos. Naturally the old ones have been in there for years and were originally imported using older versions of iphoto.
As it happens I do have all these old photos stored elsewhere so its not a case of panicking but I could do with a solution going forwards.
Has anyone else encountered this (and of course if so how did you resolve it?)
TIA
Paul

Every new import to iPhoto goes into a new folder on the HD, so no, iPhoto doesn't overwrite older images with the same filename.
Are you running a Managed or a Referenced Library?
A Managed Library, is the default setting, and iPhoto copies files into the iPhoto Library when Importing. The files are then stored in the Library package
A Referenced Library is when iPhoto is NOT copying the files into the iPhoto Library when importing because you made a change at iPhoto -> Preferences -> Advanced. (You unchecked the option to copy files into the Library on import) The files are then stored where ever you put them and not in the Library package. In this scenario you are responsible for the File Management.

JDev9i-Beta;How could I run two JSP applications in Jdev enviroment at the same time?

Hi,
I have two JSP applications located on different directories. I wanted to run both applications at the same time in Jdev enviroment. But the second one failed.
More info:
I successfully ran Application1, then minimized the browser and ran Application2, then again minimized the second browser. After I maximized the first browser(Application1) and tried to go thro pages, I received page not found. Because Jdev sat up the Class Path for the newer application(Application2) and looks for pages there. I believe thats why I could not run both at the same time. How could I get around of this?

hi,
can you provide more details on this. Are these jsp files part of the same project or different projects. I can not duplicate this issue. Please provide us more information.
Thank you

Grid Layout - Getting two or more fields to display on the same line/row.

I am using version 4.2.
I have a form with a number of items.
I wish to control the display of the items so that some fields are beside each other (on the same line or row).
I have set the grid layout as follows:
:PX_ITEM1
Start New Row: Yes
Column: Automatic
Column Span: Automatic
:PX_ITEM2
Start New Row: No
Column: Automatic
New Column: Yes
Column Span: Automatic
When I do this the items are not displayed on the same row.
I can see when you change the "Start New Row" from No to Yes, the item fields ARE moved into the same <Div> that controls the row, but they just aren't displaying how I would like them.
Has anyone got this working?
Amanda.

Hi Amanda,
I believe I have discovered the cause of the issue you are facing.
The problem is with the "Alert Region" region template and that it does not have any display points specified so indicate the number of grids that can fit in its region body. Without having any display points, the grid layout system attempts to use all columns available to its container. However, because the Alert Region has additional padding within, the columns will not fit and wrap to the next line.
To fix this issue, you will have to modify the "Alert Region" region template, go to "Display Points" and click Add Row. You will need to enter the following fields:
Name: Region Body
Template Substitution: BODY
Grid Support: Checked
Maximum Fixed Grid Columns: -1
This will fix the issue for you. I've logged a bug within our bug system to track this so we can fix it in a future release of APEX.
Best,

How to generate a report with more than one elements in the same graph??

I need to generate a custom report in OEM GC 10g featuring volume total capacity information and volume free capacity information both in the same graph on (Y-axis) and time on the (X-axis). I could generate only the total volume capacity graph individually, but how can the combined graph and the graph for free capacity be generated...

Is it your values in parameter NO separated by coma? And is it
parameter in where clause?
Do you want something like :
from table
where s_no in (NO) ?
If is answer "yes" you can create lexical parameter in report.
You can write in report sowething like:
select a.field1, a.field2,.....
from table a
&COND /* this is if is condition only one line after "from".
if you have more lien after where then you will put this &COND
in line where you want to have your multivalue.
Then in your trigger in form you should write:
sc_no := 'where a.sc_no in ('||:searchlist.c_no||')';
ADD_PARAMETER(PL_ID, 'pamametername', TEXT_PARAMETER, sc_no);
/* again this is if you have only one line with WHERE ili
conditions */
or you will write:
sc_no := 'and a.sc_no in ('||:searchlist.c_no||')';
ADD_PARAMETER(PL_ID, 'pamametername', TEXT_PARAMETER, sc_no);
It will substitute line in which is your conditions with
multivalue.

How do I run two sub-VIs in parallel and have the faster VI continue to execute while the slower one completes?

I have two sub-VI's - one that makes a laser distance measuring device turn on and return a distance, and another that moves a platform upon which a target is mounted that the laser reflects against. The laser VI takes well under 5 seconds to complet. The platform-moving VI, on the other hand, requires about 30 second. I would like to be able to have the laser on AS the platform moves. Of course, I can accomplish this by running the VIs seperately. However, I would like to control them from a master VI. Currently, the laser turns on as the platform begins to move but then turns off, since the master VI waits on the platform-moving VI to
complete. Any help with this seemingly simple dilemma would be greatly appreciated.

In order to synchronize the two VI's I would recommend using a global variable. By creating a global boolean, you can make reference to it in both programs, and control when your "laser" subVI terminates.
Basically, have your "laser" subVI wait until the global boolean goes true to stop execution. Have the boolean initialized false, and then have your "platform" subVI write a true to the global boolean when it has finished running. This will keep you laser running until the platform has completed its move. Good luck!

UTF8 - Configuring two or more double-byte languages in the Same DB

I would like to ask.
a) Can the same DB configured to support more than one double-byte language, at the same time ? For example, I want the same set of tables to accept Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Korean and Japanese.
b) If yes, then how are the code-bases of the WINNT would look like. I find that, changing the windows registry entry for various codebases, allows us to choose the latest entry only. Will the OS allow more than just one codebase to co-exisit. I dont know, if My question is correct or not. Pardon.
Please help me in getting answers to these questions.
Regards,
Suganyaa

Hi,
Thanks for the reply. I just wanted to confirm the details. And, the answer to the second question...as far as I have gathered is ...
" OS can support only one of the codebase. Not all at the same time. When I modify the codebase in the windows registry to support simplified chinese, i cannot use korean langpack. And, so on. But, I think this should not be a problem in developing the application. As, the multi-lingual users, will all have their OS codebases, in accordance to their language. The application , ( in java ) should be able to accept the double bytes and then store it in Oracle 8i. And, that is also not a problem.
I am a new learner...sorry if I confused you.
Regards,
Suganyaa
