Hi,
We definitely need more information than that in order to help you.
Here are a few general discussions of UI design:

How to create hyperlink in front panel like what we did in frontpage?

I'm using labview 4.0 for mac os 8.1. and looking for a way to create web and e-mail hyperlink, anyone can tell me how to do that?

You will not be making a true hyperlink as LV doesn't ahve html support
built in. You have a number of choices to do this such as responding to
a button and using Apple Events to invoke another program to do the
email or web application. I was never too into Apple Events, but I
believe there is a common Open with parameters that might get you what
you want.
You might also check on the internet toolkit, but I'm not sure when it
was released relative to 4.0. And if this doesn't work for you, you
might look at upgrading to LV7, the last supported release for OS9, and
using SMTP for email and there is a VI to open t
he default browser to a
URL in the palettes.

How do I create a soft front panel in LabVIEW?

I am experienced with creating VXIPlug&Play drivers for test and measurement equipment. Now I need to create one with a soft front panel. Is there a tutorial that explains how to create the soft front panel? Or could you point me in the right direction? Thanks, Susan

I did a search on google and came up with this link:

How do I create tabs on front panels

Hi everyone. I want to create multiple front panels on the same project. How do I go about this?
Also, I needed to analyze noise from a thermocouple signal in terms of Probability Density Function and power spectral density and I don't have a clue yet. Any body any useful info should pls reply.
Thanks.

Well said Lynn..
I do realize that the discussion has moved away from the original topic
Are you trying to resolve a problem that would normally be solved using signal conditioning?
Are you seeing artifacts from 50/60Hz ?
Did you mention what your thermocouples were connected to or in proximity of? ie: do you need shielding?

How can i access remote front panel in RT with LabVIEW run time engine in client PC

Hi to all,
I have developed the RT application with cRIO 9075 integrated chassis. And i have access its remote front panel in client PC. Now i want to access the remote panel in the client PC without having LabVIEW runtime engine. If i connect the remote panel with that client, it shows only the vi border. i doesn't downloads the front panel.
How Can i access its remote front panel without LabVIEW runtime engine in the client PC?

You cannot view a remote front panel without the LabVIEW runtime - the LabVIEW runtime is what makes the remote front panel possible. What you will want to do instead is likely create a Web Service that you can access from a remote PC without requiring the LabVIEW runtime. However, this will require you to develop a web-based HTML or similar UI to interact with the VIs running on your system - NI hasn't yet created a way to export a LabVIEW front panel as an HTML'ish page.

How can I display the front panel of the dinamically loaded VI on the cliente computer, the VI dinamically loaded contains files, I want to see the files that the server machine has, in the client machine

I can successfully view and control a VI remotly. However, the remote VI dinamically loads another VI, this VI loaded dinamically is a VI that allows open others VIs, I want to see the files that contains the server machine, in the client machine, but the front panel of the dinamic VI appears only on the server and not on the client, How can I display the fron panel with the files of the server machine of the dinamically loaded VI on the client computer?

I down loaded your files but could use some instructions on what needs run.
It seems that you are so close yet so far. You need to get the data on the server machine over to the client. I generally do this by doing a call by reference (on the client machine) of a VI that is served by the server. THe VI that executes on the server should pass the data you want to diplay via one of its output terminals. You can simply wire from this terminal (back on the client again) to an indicator of your choosing.
Now theorectically, I do not think that there is anything that prevents use from getting the control refnum of the actual indicator (on the server) of the indicator that has the data, and read its "Value" using a property node. I have never tried this idea but it seems t
hat all of the parts are there. You will need to know the name of the VI that holds the data as well as the indicator's name. You will also have to serve all VI's. This is not a good idea.

How can I use multiple front panel controls to be mirrors of each other?

Hi All:
I know this is going to be a strange question, but I have multiple inputs that control one output. This in itself not necessarily difficult, but I have a strange need. If one of the control inputs change I would like this to be indicated by the other controls. For example, I have a slider, numeric and dial controls on the front panel that control RPM. If the slider changes to 1000 RPM I would like the numeric and dial controls to see that change. Is this possible. If so, can you give me advice on doing this. I am using 7.1. Thanks for the help.
John Honnold

What you want is not that hard, but asked for a rather limited times.
Here's a how to:
Drop a slider
Right click Visible items-> Digital display
Right click on the slider Advanced-> Customize
Right click on the Digital display Replace select the control you want to replace it with (a gauge for instance)
Right click on the Gauge Visible items -> Digital Display
Now you have one control with three control options:
This was done in 8.2 but I think the same goes for 7.1

Thank a lot tst, it work.
By the way I am try to understand how to use windows API. For example function "GetWindowLong" got 2 parameter one is "hWnd" I know is get the window name and the other "nIndex" I search in MSDN (http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/winui/winui/windowsuserinterface/wi...) but I can't figure out why the input value is "-20".
Same as function "SetWindowlong" and "SetLayeredWindowAttributes". All these APi i can find the explaination in MSDN but I don't know what value I should put for those parameters. Is there anyway to find out what vaule I should give for those parameter?
yes, if you can get that example for change bmp shape then pass to me.
Thank very much
Message Edited by TK Chang on 01-11-2007 09:44 PM
That is because Micrososft defined for readibility constants and usually only documents them in MSDN. If you want to know the numeric value (which you need when trying to call such a function from non-C environments) you basically have to install the plattform SDK from Microsoft and search in the headers for the constant name and see what value it has assigned too.
A search of the constant name as documented in the SDK on the web might sometimes also give results such as an include form for Visual Basic, and interface description for Delphi or simply C header files from some Wine patch, but there is no quarantee and you might have to look through many hits before finding something useful.
All these options do however require you to understand a bit about the syntax of the programming environment you got the solution from such as C syntax (the plattform SDK is completely for C(++) too), Delphi, or Visual Basic.

How to add image of Front panel TAGS to html report?

I have a VI with several tabs some of which I would like to append to an HTML report. So far I have managed to include just the front panel front tab (using the Append Front Panel Image to Report.vi. Is it possible to create an image of the tabs in order to append to my report?
I'm using LabVIEW 7.1 on windows 2000
Thanks for any help. It would be greately appreciated.
Eduardo

Hello Eduardo,
In order to accomplish this, you'll need to use the Append Control Image to Report VI in a loop. On each iteration of the loop, programmatically change the Tab Control page (with a local variable or the Value property), then append the tab control image to the report. That way you'll have N images in the report, where N is the number of pages in your tab control.
Hope this helps,

How can I arrange the front panel?

Hello,
I’m using LV 7.1 and created a VI with many controls and indicators. It writes and reads data to and from a bus system. For that I used the flat sequence structure and many case structures.
Now I would like to order the front panel, i.e. by using the tab control only the data read or only the user settings should be displayed.
But using the tab control slows the whole VI down, so that a data recording in real time is impossible.
Are there any other possibilities to bring the front panel into order if the number of controls and indicators is too high for the screen?
Thanks in advance,
UoS

Do you mean that the CPU usage goes up and the PC responds slowly. If so, this is interesting. This is most likely related to a grphical element causing the system to slow down. The tab control should theoretically take care of this, but about a year ago I ran into a similar situation where a tab caused problem here. In that case it looked like controls that were partially displayed caused the problem and when using the tab control the problem was there even when displaying another page. If this is so, you can try to determine the source by scrolling the screen in different directions. Once the problematic area is moved off the screen the VI should run faster. This way you can tell which area has the problem.

How to stream live on front panel by given browser url

Hi,
I have an IP Camera which can be viewed online through a given url.
However, i am stuck trying to display the live stream on my front panel. DAQ-Max is not needed because the camera is already integrated to software.
Attached is my VI so far, and here is the website:
http://153.20.39.66:8051/
Click on mobile mode to see the live video stream.
However there is an error at the "READ JPEG file" when i run the VI. I dont really understand the error?
I just need to link the VI's front panel to the live stream video via url. How do I do that? Thank you in advance!

How to move control in front panel at run time

       Hi,
                I'm using LabVIEW 8.5. I want to move the control anywhere in front panel. For example in the attach file I want to pick up the pict control (with the help of mouse) and drop it anywhere in front panel. second thing I want to ask if I want to make it copy paste, means main control will b at its initial position and where the mouse moves the image moves and when I leave the mouse the image gets drops there. How to do it. Please help me.

control anywhere in front panel. For example in the attach file I
want to pick up the pict control (with the help of mouse) and drop
it anywhere in front panel.
You'll need to use an event structure to respond to the mouse down, mouse
move and mouse up events. In the mouse down event of the control, set a
value in a shift register to true. In the mouse move event, when the value
is true, change the position of the control with a position property node.
In the mouse up event of the control, set the boolean in the shift register
to false.
 second thing I want to ask if I want to make it copy

You can't copy paste controls during run time. It seems you want to make a
graphical application, where you can graphically drag and drop some
configuration or something like that. You should have a look at the picture
control. You can draw anything you want in this control, and catch mouse
down, move and up events in the same way. It is perhaps a bit difficult to
get to know it, but it is very powerful when you do.

How to bring a VI front panel to the front (of all open windows) when the parent VI calls a sub-VI in Test Stand.

In Test Stand when I call a sub-VI front panel, the pop-up window goes behind all the windows and the user just waits for the screen. I want the pop-up to come to the front so that the user can know what to do. I couldn't find any property that I can set which would make the called VI go to the front.

What version of TestStand are you using? Here are the TestStand palettes in LabVIEW for TestStand 2.0 and 3.1. You can also set a VI to be modal in VI Properties>Window Appearance. Select Dialog or go to Cutomize and change the Window Behavior.

How can I enable my front panel audio??

the type of my mainboard is MS-6552,when I inserted my earphone and microphone into the jack of the box,I can hear nothing! then I opened the box,I found that the wire was not the proper place,there were 8 wires whick marked with “MIC IN,GND,LIN,LOUT,MIC IN,GND,RIN,ROUT”,I also found the F_AUDIO on the mainboard,there were 18 pin on it,I cannot matching them! who can help me?thanx

Look through you mobo's manual and you'll find it... Don't get stressed out too early... The first computer I built myself got me stuck in the same area for hours!!!
Btw, you've got to remove the jumpers on your mobo to enable front panel sound. Be warned that most mobo only allows you to us either front panel or back panel sound only. Please also ensure that there are no stand offs underneath your mobo.
All the Best... :D!!!
