How to use ActiveX-Microsoft Calender Control as a way to schedule time (e.g., and online sign up calender or day planner

I operate a user facility for several testing instruments. I am looking for a Lavbiew VI that will allow user to reserve time on the instruments. I did a search and found the ActiveX Microsfot Calender Control. This will display a calender and allow you to choose the month, year and date. I would like to place a control on the front panel that will allow the user to select the date, be prompted to tpye in the time to reserve ( e.g., 1:00pm to 4:00pm) and have it display on date on the calendar front panel. Is this possible? Thanks.

OK, so everybody has forgiven everybody -- I guess.
I any case, you aren't going to find one control that does everything. What you need to do, for the data input portion at least, is create a VI that to the operator looks and operates like a dialog box. There are some examples that show in general how to do that. My recommendation is to play with one of those examples until you understand the principles involved and then start modifying it to collect from the user the data that your application needs.

How do I create a text style in CC libraries? Every time I drag and drop text into library form Photoshop or illustrator it turns it into a graphic.

How do I create a text style in CC libraries? Every time I drag and drop text into library form Photoshop or illustrator it turns it into a graphic.
If I select the text layer and click the text style button in the library it just creates a new text style for Myriad Pro 12pt - I'm not using that anywhere in my document.
Can anyone help? Seems like a bug to me as I'm trying what the video tutorials are saying.

I realize AI is an illustration program.
Do you realize it is an object-based vector-based program? Do you know the difference between raster-based and vector-based content?
My question seems to be all over the forum but no one has been able to answer other than exporting to these file formats, which make text look awful and of no use....
And yet everyone else in the world makes proper web images every day using a plethora of programs, including these...go figure.
Am I missing something?
Yep. Pretty much.
Hello Adobe! People use transparency on website logos.
Hello, cocteau! What you're calling "transparency" is inherent to object-based vector artwork. But web browsers don't support object-based vector artwork, except via file formats like Flash and SVG, or by viewing as a PDF in a plug-in version of Reader. Raster imaging in general only supports "transparency" by either indexing a specific color (i.e.; "don't display this color", as in GIF) or including an alpha channel (i.e.; "blend all the pixels with existing pixels, based on values from this extra channel", as in PNG). It's all in the raster file format you use, cocteau; it has little-to-nothing to do specifically with Adobe software. Such things are among the most basic matters understood by someone doing web design.
When I export an eps from .ai file, and open the eps in photoshop,...I save as a gif for the web, it goes back to the original problem...creates jagged text. I"m giving up on this garbage...Thanks a lot adobe! Lower the price of this software if this is all that can be done.
Once it leaves Photoshop (or Illustrator, or whatever) as a non-proprietary raster image format, it's all about what the format can do re "transparency". You can do this stuff with most any graphics program. You should read about basic web design and the differences between raster and vector content, rather than rant.

I get a 'No entry' Icon and a not supported on this type of Mac message. I cannot update either as anything up to 9.1.1 tells me I don't need it yet 9.1.2 tells me I need an eligable Logic Pro Version was not found in applications.
All of my files are stored in a separate hard drive with only the actual app having been on my Macbook. Should I just reinstall?

Hi
To run Mouitain Lion you need to update Logic.
For the updaters to work the Logic application must be:
a) Within the Applications folder, and not in any sub-folder
b) Named "Logic Pro" with no extra numbers or spaces

How to use ActiveX to open/write to Excel template but not to overwrite it

Hi there again (it's me...if anyone recognised me...)
I managed to use ActiveX to open Excel and make it visible onto the screen. But I would like to know how can I make Excel open an Excel template and let me write data to the cells without overwriting the original template. I did try to use another program source such as the EXCEL TOOLKIT but I can't still figure out how does it work for my case. Is there a simpler example for me to refer too? Please help.
Thank you,
juni

Hi Mike..
I have tried to use the examples provided LabView 6.0. I don't understand how to use the Range value to get the data from my global array and also how to open the template and write data to it.
At the moment, I could only open a saved dialog box and a default string filename is used to save my data into a new Excel but not the formatted excel which I want.
If possible, please help again. Vi attached.

How to used a JCR Data Control in Java class?

Hi,
I created a JCR Data Control to my UCM to obtain a treeTable with the datas. But it's impossible to create a treeTable like i want to.
So I know how to create a treeModel to obtain the treeTable I want.
Is there a way to used the getItems method of the dataControl in a Java Class?
I tried this :
BindingContext bc = (BindingContext)JSFUtils.resolveExpression("#{data}");
DCDataControl dc = bc.findDataControl("UcmDC");
But dc is null.
There are some xml files (UcmDC.xml or getItems_return.xml). Is it a way to resolve my problem. And if so, how do I use?
Best regards,
Thomas

How to use a hardwaresynth to controll a softsynth?

What I want is simple: I have a Yamaha CS1X Syntheziser with knobs that send MIDI Data. Now I want to use this Synth to controll my Minimoog Softsynth Plugin. Cutoff for example works already automatically. How do I configure logic so that the other knobs of my syntheziser controlls the rest of the Minimoog Plugin? I tried to find the answer in the manual, it must work over the setup controll assignement but it just doesnt work...
Thanks for any help!

You will literally write in the "Implemenation", the following:

How to use ActiveX of outlook express to realize the function of sending email using labview?

thanks!

I didn't manage to find a public ActiveX interface for Outlook Express, but I did find one for Outlook, and a few quick tweaks managed to get a message in the outbox. For some reason it wasn't sent (maybe I didn't have a user set up properly), but you can try playing with it to see.
Another option would be to use the built in SMTP VIs (unless you need POP3).

HOW TO USE A MICROSOFT DYNAMIC LIBRARY ON ABAP

I want to know how to use and implement a call to a dll from ABAP because in my job i need to impress data using a neumatic printer; the model is CN101 from Technifor.

Hello Claudio,
Some information on this topic [here|http://nonet.dyndns.org/b2e/blogs/index.php/2005/10/30/calling_dll_functions_within_sapgup_via?blog=5].
Another interesting way of doing it would be to write a simple .NET web service exposing the DLL and consuming it in ABAP.

How to use ActiveX in Forms 6i

Hello friends:
Being a novice forms developer I'm eager to gain the skill of using ActiveX in Forms 6i. I 'll appreciate if anyone could help me finding some online tutorial on this issue. Otherwise, I 'll very highly appreciate if someone would share his/her expertise. I wish to do the following:
1) A master (dept) - detail (emp) blocks : I'd like to view emp records in a ListView like grid
2) The detail emp block in ListView should be populated in-sync with change of prev/next record of my dept block
3) On double clicking a row of the emp ListView the selected emp's info should be popolated to another for update.
Thanks in advance,
SAJJAD

[email protected]

why do you need an active/X for this?
Can't you just create 2 default blocks on dept and on emp.
Use the relationship wizard to define the relation. and set the number of records displayed for the emp block to 10?
This will give you all you need with no hussle.

How to use HTML in JavaFX controls?

Does JavaFX support using HTML in JavaFX controls' text? For example, in Swing components:
button = new JButton("<html><center>Enable "
+ "middle button</html>");
If no, could we find a workaround?

Embedding a WebView in a Labeled for HTML Rendering
A WebView is a node which displays HTML.
Most controls implement Labeled, or have elements that are Labeled.
A Labeled has a setGraphic(node) method which allows you to set the graphic attached to the labeled to any given node (including a WebView).
For instance:
WebView webview = new WebView();
webview.getEngine().loadContent("<html><center>Enable middle button</html>");
webview.setPrefSize(150, 50);
Button buttonWithHTML = new Button("", webview);
should create a button with html in it (I didn't actually try running the above example).
Apart from the relatively slow startup time on first use and the overhead (which I can't quantify) of using WebView in this way, there are a couple of jira requests outstanding which make it a little bit of a nuisance.
RT-25004 Allow for transparent backgrounds in WebView
RT-25005 Automatic preferred sizing for WebView
You can vote for the above jira requests or comment on them if such functionality is important to you.
TextFlow/FXML/CSS Alternative
Rather than using html in the Labeled, support for the TextFlow control was introduced in Java 8, so that could be used instead.
TextFlow also works well with FXML and css if you prefer to have the stuff in the TextFlow managed via markup and a declarative styling language.
Open Feature Request
There is an open feature request RT-2160 HTML support for text which is currently scheduled for implementation in the initial Java 8 release. I think the likelihood of it actually being included there is zero percent, though it may be considered for a future release. You can vote for the issue or add comments to it, or provide an implementation if you are so inclined.
Implementation Considerations
A possible implementation would be something which parses the HTML then constructs a TextFlow the parsed HTML according to processing rules which are laid out in laborious mind-numbing detail in the HTML5 spec.
You could use a relaxed HTML parser such as the validator.nu parser (though there may be others which would be a better fit).
A simple implementation would just be to use the parser in the jdk which is used for the swing controls, but that is hopelessly outdated.
Perhaps, even simpler would to only accept strict html input and just use SAX to parse it out, though things like validator.nu are too difficult to work with.
Then, for the limited number of parsed tags that you want to support (and you really don't want to support all of HTML5 for something like this - otherwise you would just use WebView), create your TextFlow from the DOM model that your parser has created.
I wouldn't even both trying to handle most of the stuff in your html string in your implementation, stuff to do with styling, fonts, colors, etc. Those things were never any good in html anyway, and css is better for handling them, so just support stuff commonly used in usual modern day html (take a look at bootstrap html source as an example to see what that might be - if bootstrap doesn't use it, I don't think you should support it). The stuff you will be supporting are things around document structure like lists, headings, etc. div blocks and span nodes - so only implement that important stuff and delegate everything else to css where it belongs.
Also make sure your implementation fits in with FXML so that you can easily embed your html subset in an FXML doc.
