How to make non-visible Control on Front Panel Appear at Design Time?

I have some Controls on the Front Panel whose visibility is changed (turned on or off) at Run Time. The problem is that if I stop the Run time, the Visibility of the Control remains in the runtime state in Design mode. So I may not be able to see or find the Control to make changes in Deisgn mode.
How can I make all Controls on the Front Panel visible, or find and make visible a Control on the Front Panel whose Visibility has been made False?
THANKS.
Solved!

This is documented in the LabVIEW Help.
Displaying Hidden Front Panel Objects
Complete the following steps to display a hidden front panel control or indicator. You also can hide front panel controls and indicators.
Find the block diagram terminal for the object. If you have several terminals with the same data type, right-click the terminals and select Visible Items»Label from the shortcut menu. Find the object with the label that matches the hidden front panel object.
Right-click the terminal and select Show Control from the shortcut menu if the object is a control or Show Indicator if the object is an indicator.
You also can use the Visible property to display controls and indicators programmatically.
You also can display all hidden front panel controls and indicators.

How to show or hide a control in front panel

Hi All, I am revising the code from someone else, and a control in front panel seems to be hidden until you click something to make it show. I tried to use right click in front panel and it did not work by clicking something related to show or hide. Since I don't quite familiar with property nodes, this hidden setting may be related to that.
In the picture it shows the front panel and its two property nodes, could anyone advise me how to change the setting to show this control? Thank you!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

If you right-click on the the control's terminal, you will see an option to "Hide Control" or "Show Control". This is what you should use when editing the code. The property nodes set to Visible are for when the application is running.

How to make none root user to connect to TCP Port (web ports)

how to make none root user (any user)

cause i have web server i want to run and stop service with none root userand on port 80 and port 81
can you help me and give me steps

I believe Solaris 9 also has RBAC control. If so then all you need to do is present the uid with the PRIV_NET_PRIVADDR privilege. See the privielegs(5) manpage for more information on the subject.
This privilege will allow the userid to bind to ports < 1024. You can give a user this privilege either by using usermod (you will probably need the auth_attr(4) manpage as well) after which you need to login again. Or you can try using ppriv to modify the privileges on the users shell.

How do I get the Label for a Front Panel Control to appear in the Block Diagram but not on the Front Panel?

How do I get the Label for a Front Panel Control to appear in the Block Diagram but not on the Front Panel? On the Front Panel I am making a complex control that consists of a Slider and a Numerical Input box. Both Controls display the same information and either can be used for Input. When one changs, the other is made to display the same value.
But I only want the Slider to display the Label on the Front Panel, to avoid confusion. On the Block Diagram however, I want both controls to display their Labels so that I know what they are. How do I display the Label for a Control on the Block diagram, but not display its Label on the Front Panel?

No. The Label Visible property is separate for the front panel control label and the block diagram terminal label.
How did you start out with the block diagram's label not being visible? Whenever I drop a control or indicator, the label is always visible on both the FP and BD by default. Maybe there is a LabVIEW option that causes new controls/indicators not to have their labels visible by default, but I have yet to find it. I don't think an item should ever be dropped without the label visible, good LabVIEW coding practice demands that the labels for control terminals on the block diagram be visible so that you know what control or indicator a wire is going to.
That being said, I have seen a lot of VI's posted where the label for the terminal on the BD is not shown (against good programming practice.) I've gone to the BD and right clicked to show the label. Sometimes, the people have an empty label (which will turn off the visibility for both the FP and BD) and I'm forced to add some text of my own into the label so I can figure out what their code is doing. When I add some text to the label, at that time, I find both the BD and FP labels become visible.
Are you dealing with controls that have empty labels to start?
Good programming practices:
1. Always have a name for all of your controls, never use and empty label by deleting the text in the label.
2. Make the labels unique. For example, don't have two controls both called Stop. How do you know quickly know which terminal relates to which control?
3. Always show the labels on the block diagram, so you know the function of a control's terminal. If you want to hide the label on the FP, that's okay.
4. If you want a different label to appear on the FP than whatever you actually called the control, then use the caption. You can hide the label and show the caption. This is useful if you need to programmatically change what the "label" is on the front panel such if you are making an application that needs to change its user interface such as for a foreign language.

How to make the exchange of data between 2 while loop in real time

hello
I have 2 while loop
the 1st while loop includes the data acquisition program
the 2nd while loop includes the control program
my question is how to make the exchange of data between 2 while loop in real time
I tried with the local variable and direct wiring between the 2 while loop
it does not work (there is a delay)
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Bilalus,
Queues are only good to transfer data if your application isn't deterministic. Since you are using Real Time, I am assuming that your application requires determinism. If you are using Timed Loops and you use queues to transfer data between your loops, you are losing determinism. In this case, you need to use the RT FIFO functions.

How to make a photo STAY in the assets panel for future use for In browser editing?

How to make a photo STAY in the assets panel for future use for In browser editing?
When I delete a photo from a page, it does not stay in the assets panel. My client uses in browser editing daily. Once a week he changes a photo just for a day, then needs the previous photo to replace it. The original photo is not in the asset panel (or folder) for him to choose.
When you upload a photo, it has an arrow in the asset panel. How do you use this as an asset?

Sure ... right mouse click on your page and choose 'Exclude Page from Menus' :-)

How to convert U32 value obtained from color control of front panel to float(SGL) for use with IMAQ Draw ?.

I am trying to get user color inputs from front panel and use it in IMAQ Draw. I need to draw an oval of a certain color in a background of another color. Both these color values are user input. The problem is IMAQ Draw requires SGL color value and the color controls of front panel give U32. I have tried conversion VI's which hasn't worked. HELP !!!

Jake,
I think the color control can be wired directly to the input, but I am not positive. I don't know of any color conversions that would help.
Make sure your image is a color image. You can't draw colors on a grayscale image.
You might want to consider using overlays, which appear on top of the image but are not part of the image.

How to make more than one person can access the database at one time

how to make more than one person can access the database at one time

Please post further f'up's in the Access forum.
In short: for different reasons it is best practice that each user gets its own local copy of the database. This means that you need to split it into a front-end which only consists of the forms, queries, reports etc. Everything which doesn't need to be
shared. And a back-end, which only stores the data.
Take also a look at Allen Browne's article:
Split your Access database into data and application.
When you've splitted your database, you may often consider to use SQL Server as back-end. Here you may read Armen Stein's
The Best of Both Worlds: Access-SQL Server Optimization.

How can I make a pdf-file of the front panel?

I like to make a pdf-file of the front panel. Thus I need a vi, where I can input the printer name (as the pdf-printer is not the default one), the vi and the name of the future pdf-file.
Thanks, Verena

Try this and if you were to search the forum with "pdf" as the search parameter, you'd find several postings on the same subject. One of them is here and another is here with some email addresses of individuals with existing toolkits.

Looking for a way to programmatically set the visible portion of the front panel when a subVI opens

I am looking for a way to programmatically set the visible portion of the front panel when a subVI opens. Haven't found any posts that relate, but I'm not sure how to ask the right question. To be clear, I want to write a helper VI to go through a list of subVIs to make sure the background images are all in the same place when their respective subVIs open. I hate manually playing with scroll bars before I save each of the VIs... I'm figuring I need to find the top/left location of the background image (know how to do this already) and then set a VI FP property to these values or some offset, but I can't find the relevant property. FP:run-timeposition:custom looked promissing, but only affects the location of the window, not the area of the front panel the window is displaying.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Cool. Getting closer. The way I implemented your suggestion affects the subVI only if it is open. I can use this to do what I'm after, perhaps putting the code into each subVI. Maybe open all subs, run the helper, and save. Seems like I'm missing the elegant version...

How to make tables visible for Group Operations

Hi:
- SunMC Group Operations has a 'Modules Table' option which
allows users to edit tables within a module
- Why is it that for some modules, the tables are not visible at all, but
for other modules, the tables are visible ?
- Is there any documentation available which outlines how to make a module's
table visible under SunMC Group Operations 'Modules Table' option ?
thanks

How to make non-editable ComboBox in flex.

Hi All,
   I defined ComboBox as below and I'd like to make this combobox to non-editable(readonly)
<mx:ArrayCollection id="bb_list">
        <mx:Object data="" label="-Please Select-"/>
        <mx:Object data="Y" label="Yes"/>
        <mx:Object data="N" label="No"/>
        <mx:Object data="D" label="I Don't Know"/>
    </mx:ArrayCollection>
<mx:ComboBox width="152" id="broad" dataProvider="{bb_list}" change="bb_service()" editable="false" > </mx:ComboBox>
Still it is displaying ComboBox where user can change value from this ComboBox, can anyone let me know how to make this ComboBox to non-editable.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Sharath.

I really don't understand what you're trying to do.
In the ComboBox default state, you cannot type text into the non-drop-down portion. If you set it to editable, then you can type text in the non-drop-down portion.
But, in both of these situations, the user can still open the drop down and select a new value.
Do you want to display a drop down, but not give the users the ability to select a new option? If so, you might not be able to work something up by listening to the change event, although I would expect that to be non-conducive to good interface design.
If you don't want to show the drop down at all, use a Text component instead of a ComboBox.
You might also try disabling the ComboBox in order to prevent the user from interacting with it.
If you can elaborate on what behavior you're expecting and why it is unexpected, that might help us point you in the right direction.

How to make a valve in control editor?

I want to make a control function in Labview5.0,but I don't know how to make it,for example I will make a valve that is a control funtion,how to make it properly

If you were to go to Search Examples>Demonstrations>Process Control>Control Mixer Process, you'll find a VI with several custom controls including a valve. All it is is a boolean with custom images. To make your own, use a drawing program like Paint and make images of your valve in the open and closed state. Place a boolean control on a VI's front panel and choose Edit Control from the Edit menu. Once in the control editor go to customize mode. Choose Import Picture From File from the Edit menu. Right click the boolean control and choose Picture Item to Replace to determine which picture to replace with the one from file (a boolean actually uses 4 pictures but you only need to replace the first two which are the true and false states). Right click again and
choose either Import Picture or Import at Same Size. Repeat for the other boolean state with a different picture. You should save your changes as a .ctl so that you can easily use it again.

How to make non editable field after requestor created the shoping cart

Hi,
i need to make non editable field (Price field) after requester created the shooping cart.The field should be non editable only for requster .
this i need to make when workflow triggers when the buyer sends back the shopping cart to requester.
one solution which i found:depend on the status of the shoping cart
but i dont know whether it is correct way.
if not please suggest me the solution.

Hi,
You can implement the BADI" BBP_UI_CONTROL_BADI".
You can check for the role of the user who has logged in(e.g. for user REQUESTER,there will be a distinct role to idnetify that the user is a requester) and then acc set the display properties for the field PRICE.
For sample code pls refer the foll links:
