How to drag a file into a picture control in a runing VI?

When the VI is runing, LabVIEW allows users to drag a file from windows explorer to the File path control to get the path. But how could I drag a file into a picture control to get some event?
Since the Picture control will also used to reponse to some other events so put the a transparent file path control on top of it may be the last idea in my mind...
Is there any other options??
Thanks guys!

In Dreamweaver CS4, whenever I try to drag a newly updated version of a swf file into a certain directory / folder in the Files panel of the Dreamweaver interface, the file simply gets placed under my website's root instead.
You are dragging the file from OUTSIDE of DW (using Explorer/Finder) and dropping it within DW's FILES panel (I didn't think you could do that!)?  Or you are dragging it from within the FILES panel, but from outside your site (by choosing "Local Disk" from the drop list)?  I think what you are seeing is the best you will get with that procedure.  Try going to "Local Disk" and copy the file, then return to your site and paste it where you want it.

  • How to drag a file into a folder

    hi-this is kind of basic, but could someone please tell me the easiest and quickest way to drag a file [say a Pages document] into a folder. like if you write a draft of an email in Pages, and then you want to stash it in a folder called 'letters'. thanks

    Much simpler to stay in the Finder. You can either drag and drop from one Finder window to another, or within the same Finder window (ie, grab the file, and use one of the shortcuts in your sidebar to navigate to your new folder). You should make sure that "Spring-loaded folders" is turned ON in your Finder preferences. When you hold a file over a folder, wait a short while to have the folder open automatically, or hold down the space bar to open it immediately.
    You can also install FiWi to quickly create two side-by-side Finder windows.
    Of course, you can also use copy (cmd-C) and paste (cmd-V) as an alternative to dragging and dropping files. There's no "cut file" (ie move) as there is in Windows.

  • PDA example: Reading a jpeg file into a picture control

    Hi
    Does anybody have a simple PDA example of how to read a .jpg file and show it in a picture control. The jpg examples I've found does not compile for PDA.

    The hard way would be to write your own JPEG -> Bitmap / Array
    de-compression routine. You will probably find example (C++) code at
    the JPEG web site.

  • How can I change a Microsoft Word document file into a picture file?

    How can I change a Microsoft Word document file into a picture or jpeg file? I am wanting to make the image I created my background on my macbook pro.

    After I had the document image the way I wanted it, I saved it as a web page and went from there. Below are the steps starting after I did the "save as" option in Word:
    1) Select "Save As Web Page". I changed the location from documents to pictures when the window came up to save it as a web page.
    2) Go to "Finder" on you main screen, or if it's on your main toolbar at the bottom.
    3) Click on the "Pictures" tab and find the file you just re-saved as a web page. (I included "web page" or something similar in the new title so I could easily find the correct file I was looking for)
    4) Open the correct file and then "right click" on the actual image. (Use 2 fingers to do so on a Mac)
    5) Select 'Use Image As Desktop Picture", and voilà! The personally created image, or whatever it is that you wanted, is now your background.
    **One problem I encountered while doing this is that the image would show up like it was right-aligned in relation to the whole screen. The only way I could figure how to fix this was to go back to the very original document in Word, (the one before it was saved as a web page), and move everything over to the left.
    I hope this helps someone else who was as frustrated as I was with something that I thought would have been very simple to do! If you have any tips or suggestions of your own, please feel free to share. : )

  • How to add PDF files into a slides? (Flash 8)

    I am new to flash and I am using Macromedia Flash 8. My task is simple enough: I need create a Presentation with Screens from PDF files: I have 10-12 PDF files which I want convert into flash presentation.
    I have read this tutorial:
    http://w3.id.tue.nl/fileadmin/id/objects/E-Atelier/Phidgets/Software/Flash/fl8_tutorials.p df
    Chapter 11: Basic Tasks: Create a Presentation with Screens.
    I'm having trouble how to add PDF files into a slides: I want insert a whole pdf file as separate slide, without splitting pdf file into separate elements: pictures, text, etc. I tried import pdf file into Flash, wheen import there is shown prompt how program should process this pdf file(add in stage, library, as keyframes, etc) , not clear which option is correct for my task. What I got is pdf file splitted into multiple images, text, - which is not what I want. I want keep PDF files without changes, preserve original design and formatting, just convert this pdf into flash, so presentation will consist of PDFs organized in correct order, then add navigation buttons and some effects. How to solve this task?

    Just to avoid potential confusion... PDF is an Adobe format, but Flash 8 is/was not.  Flash 8 came out before Adobe bought Macromedia.  Even today, I don't believe anything has been done to accomodate direct integration of PDF content in Flash.

  • How to import Dropbox files into iPhoto?

    I have more than 1000 JPEG files in 3 different subfolders under the DropBox Pictures folder. I want to use them in some apps that only work with photos on the camera roll. I can find all kinds of advice on how to get individual files into the camera roll but I haven't found any on how to do multiple files in a batch. I'm assuming I need to go through iPhoto. I'm not very familiar with it because I seldom use the camera. I work mainly with JPEG files from external sources. I'm running IOS 7.1.1 on an iPad Air. I'd appreciate any suggestions. Thanks!

    I don't know whether to be more irritated with Apple for not providing a batch mechanism or with the app developers for restricting their input to the camera roll (unless that's an Apple requirement).
    The lack of a batch mechanism is annoying, but the restriction to the Camera Roll is built deep into the saftety restriction for IOS devices. Apps are restricted to their "Sandbox", and the Camera Roll is the central sharing place for photos on iOS devices. There is no way to circumvent this.
    Maybe, your problem to get the photos into the Camera Roll is due to using Dropbox and not one of Apple's own provided tools to transfer the photos,  see the list of possibilities to transfer photos between devices. For example, Photo Stream would save the photos automatically to the Camera Roll. Or use iTunes Photos sync.
    http://help.apple.com/iphoto/iphone/2.0/?handbuch#blnka7d353af
    Once you can make iPhoto see the photos in an album, you can batch-save them to to camera roll: (http://help.apple.com/iphoto/iphone/2.0/?handbuch#blnkee26bc1f)
    Save photos to the Camera Roll on your iOS device
    Tap a photo, album, or event and tap the share button > Camera Roll.
    Tap Selected, or change the photos you want to save:
    Select different photos: Tap Choose Photos, tap up to 100 photos, and tap Next.
    Select a range of photos: Tap Choose Photos, tap Range, tap the first and last photos in the range, and tap Next.
    Select all the photos in an album or event: Tap All.
    Tap Done.
    To use your photo in another app, open the app and select the Camera Roll album.

     You may also drag and drop a picture directly to your front panel. You can also use paint, or some other tools,  to copy a part of a picture and past it into your front panel. This actually works for the block diagram also. Se example 
    Besides which, my opinion is that Express VIs Carthage must be destroyed deleted
    (Sorry no Labview "brag list" so far)

  • Can no longer open a folder while dragging a file into it...

    Suddenly I am unable to drag a file into a folder, hold it over that folder and have the folder open so I can then navigate within that folder before dropping the file (does that make sense?)...it has been working just fine for some time and now it won't work. Only thing I've done recently is repair disk permissions (which CheckUp seemed to find a lot in need of repair, oddly enough).
    Any help is much appreciated, I use this feature frequently.

    HI,
    I'm not sure what CheckUp is. Only use your Disk Utility application (Applications/Utilities) to repair disk permissions on a Mac.
    *"Suddenly I am unable to drag a file into a folder"*
    Time to check the hard disk. Grab your install disk.
    Insert Installer disk and Restart, holding down the "C" key until grey Apple appears.
    Go to Installer menu (Panther and earlier) or Utilities menu (Tiger and later) and launch Disk Utility.
    Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel.
    Select First Aid in the Main panel.
    (Check S.M.A.R.T Status of HDD at the bottom of right panel. It should say: Verified)
    Click Repair Disk on the bottom right.
    If DU reports disk does not need repairs quit DU and restart.
    If DU reports errors Repair again and again until DU reports disk is repaired.
    Check your available disk space also.
    Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon on your Desktop, then click: Get Info. In the Get Info window, click the discovery triangle so it's facing down. You will see; Capacity and Available Make sure you have 10% available disk space, 15% is better. Not enough available drive space can cause issues like you are experiencing.

  • How do I apply a texture to an imported .stl file in 3D Picture Control?

    Hi, I'm trying to apply a 2D image as a texture to an imported .stl file in 3D picture control. It works fine if I'm using a standard shaped mesh created in LabVIEW, however is there a way in which a texture can be applied to an imported model that isn't a standard shape, in my case a balloon. I've attached the an image of the Sub vi where I apply the texture. The object just shows up as a flat colour. Do I need to define how the image is applied to the mesh due to it being a non-standard shape? If so, any pointers would be appreciated.
    Many thanks.
    Oh, I'm using LabVIEW 2009 SP1.

    Apologies, been trying all afternoon and then a couple of minutes after posting, I figured it out. Using a property node for the Scenemesh reference, I set the property TextureGenMode to Spherical and it appears to now display the texture on the mesh.

    Authorize your new computer's iTunes first - Store>Authorize this computer.
    1) Without connecting your iPad to your laptop, start iTunes. Click on Edit. Click on Preferences. Click on Devices. Check the box next to "Prevent your iPod etc. from automatically syncing." Click OK.
    2) Now connect your iPad to your laptop and start iTunes.
    3) When iTunes starts, right click on your iPad under Devices in the left column. Select Transfer purchases etc.
    4) After it finishes transferring all your apps to your new laptop, right click on your iPad and select Backup your iPad.
    5) After it finishes backing up your iPad, right click on your iPad and select Restore etc.
    6) After it finishes restoring, left click on your iPad , then click on the Apps tab on top, and check the box next to Sync Apps, then click on Apply below.
    If everything on your iPad looks good after the sync, go back and click on Edit / Preferences / Devices and UN-check the box next to Prevent your iPod etc. The only other thing you may want to check is if your contacts, bookmarks, etc. are syncing correctly now. If not, go to the Info tab after connecting and make sure you indicate which features you want to sync with what sources.

    How to convert jpeg files into Word

    Hi Eugene,
    I don't think you can convert an image to a Word document, but you could place the JPEG into a Word document using the Insert > Object command in Word.
    For other questions relating to Word, you will probably have more luck getting an answer if you post on the Microsoft forums (we can help if you're using Acrobat, or another Adobe product, but you'll find the Word experts on the Microsoft forums.)
