Is it possible to create run and stop button on the control pannel instead fo using the ones on the tool bar?

I have created a program which runs to all my specifications. The final thing I'd like to do is to be able to run it from the contrl panel.
Can i create a run and stop button on the control panel or am i limited to using the little white arrow button on the toolbar?

When you say Control Panel are you referring to the Front Panel of your VI?  If so then yes you can have the program start automatically upon being opened and close with a button push on the Front Panel.  Let me know if this is what you were looking for.

  • Create Run And Stop Buttons on Front Panel, rather than using the toolbar run/stop

    I would like to make my vi more user friendly by creating start and stop buttons on the front panel. I havent found much info on how to create them. I have created a boolean stop button to stop my FOR LOOP.
    -Chris

    Creating the buttons is easy - just select the style you want from the Boolean palette. What you need to do is change your diagram and the VI properties. To have a VI automatically start running when opened, open VI Properties by selecting that under the File menu or right clicking the VI's icon. Select Execution and check the Run when opened box. If you need the user to enter some data or change parameters before running the program, there's a couple of ways to go about it with a front panel Start button. You could have a separate while loop with just the start button in it and connect an output of that to a main while loop. This creates data flow and ensures that the start while loop executes before the main. You could create a simple state machine. T
    here's a couple of shipping examples. Just open the Example Finder and enter state for the keyword. You could also use the Event structure. Again, there are several shipping examples. Instead of doing a search, you could also browse the Example Finder and look at what's underneath the Building User Interfaces topic.
    p.s. I don't think you created a stop button for a for loop as there is no way to stop a for loop. What you can stop is a while loop.

  • What is the shortcut key instead of using right-click on the link and selecting "Open Link in New Tab" from the context menu?

    I want to use from keyboard(to hold this for example T)and left-click on the link to open the link.Exactly my question is about "Opening links in a new tab".I prefer to use LEFT-click.thank you so so much.

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the ''Safe mode'' start window.
    You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (on Mac: "Firefox > Quit")

  • Every time I sign into my Macbook, I get an error message from Automator; "The data couldn't be read because it has been corrupted.". I have never created an Automator workflow. How do I find out what Automator is trying to run and stop it?

    Every time I sign into my Macbook, I get an error message from Automator; "The data couldn't be read because it has been corrupted.". I have never created an Automator workflow. How do I find out what Automator is trying to run and stop it?

    Maybe it's set as a login item:
    - System Preferences: Users and Groups:
    - Highlight your user account in the left pane/list
    - Click "Login" tab at the top.
    See if you have an Automater action on the list
    - Note, you can select it, then right-click, and can then select "Reveal in Finder". That way you might have an idea what installed it.

  • Possible to create detailed and Summary in same crystal report?

    Hello
    I have worked with cyrstal reports back in 2001. Now I am back to creation of reports. I vaguely remember I was able to create summary and detailed reports from one crystal report file. I don't remember if I was using two different stored procedures or not. Can anybody explain if it is possible to create summary and detailed reports from one crystal report file and with one stored procedure. I am guessing somehow I should be able to control behaviour of report - ie. say if user selects detailed report- report will show all records and if user selects summary view then report will show summarized view of same data.
    If its possible how do you do it? Can you explain.
    Thanks a lot.

    There are a couple of techniques with drilling and sub-reports, but what I do most frequently is create a Detail/Summary  parameter for the user to select, and then have a formula that references this parameter to either hide or display a Detail section of the report sepending on the option the user chooses.  My experience is that most users can relate to this approach better, where as driling and sub-reports can sometimes cause confusion for them.

    Hi Amanda,
    Software applications are usually installed in the Applications folder on the Macintosh HD and are accessible to all users.
    I would advise you to check the Applications folder and see if your software is in there.
    Next step would be to Control Click or Right Click on the application and choose "Get Info" and make sure the permissions are set to "Read & Write" for all users. The article below provides more details:

  • Action Script 3 code not working for start and stop button?

    Ok so I have this simple animation I created of a circle that moves from one side of the stage to the other. I have added a new layer and called it buttons. On this layer I have added 2 buttons. One for start and another one for stop. The purpose is to get my circle to move from one side of the stage to the other but be able to use my buttons so that I can start and stop the animations at random times during playback. I fixed all my compiler errors now the problem lies in that everytime I click the start or the stop button I get an output error. I have a 3rd layer in which is titled actions and this is where all my code is posted. I removed that layer and placed my code in the first frame of the buttons layer to see if this would change anything but I still get the same output errors. So I just added back my actions layer. What could I be doing wrong? I have made sure to name all my movie clips and buttons correctly and I even added an instance name to them.
    Here is my code and the errors I am getting when I press the play and stop button on test-
    start_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, startCircle);
    stop_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, stopCircle);
    function startCircle(e:MouseEvent):void{
        circle.play();
    function stopCircle(e:MouseEvent):void{
        circle.stop();
    green_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, greenCircle);
    red_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, redCircle);
    function greenCircle(e:MouseEvent):void{
        circle.play();
    function redCircle(e:MouseEvent):void{
        circle.stop();
    Here are my output errors-
    TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
        at exercise2_fla::MainTimeline/redCircle()
    TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
        at exercise2_fla::MainTimeline/greenCircle()

    ok so my circle is my movie clip and it is titled circle and the instance name is circle. Am I supposed to change MovieClip to circle? I put the code at the top of my actions script but for some reason it did not work. I did change play to stop and it got the movie clip to stop when I do test movie but my buttons still do not work. So I changed stop back to play. Strange.
    I did try changing MovieClip to circle but that did not work so I did Circle with a capital C and that did me no good eigther.
    I meant to add that I did get an error that said- 1180 Call to a possibly undefined method circle.

  • The back, forward, reload and stop buttons are greyed out, the address bar stays blank when I go to a website and firefox loads to a blank page, not my home page. There are 3 users on this computer and it only happens on one user.

    Firefox loads to a blank page, not my home page. When I click on the home button it takes me to the home page. The back, forward, refresh and stop buttons are greyed out and not usable. The webpage I am on does not show up in the address bar. If I type something into the address bar, that address stays there no matter what page I go to next.

    Just upgraded to v4. It did NOT fix the problem.

    I have a problem with my iPhone 5 stopped working the sleep / power and simultaneously refused to obey the HOME button. I can not use either one or the other. I can not enable or disable the device, display lights up when you plug the charger. same display works fine as it is surprising. or maybe someone knows what is the reason for this? is there any way to solve this problem?

    More than likely its a hardware issue, I have never encountered such a problem and best bet is to just go get it replaced. If you have insurance on your device apple will replace it as long as there was no water damage, if you dont have insurance they will charge $200 more or less. Hope you get it fixed

  • How can I move the tab bar to the bottom, and how do I get my reload and stop buttons back?

    The new version of Firefox has repositioned my tab bar to the top and I cannot move it to the bottom. I tried about:config, but browser.tabs.ontop was already set to false - very curious, since this should have solved my problem in the first place.
    In the new version of Firefox I cannot get my reload and stop buttons back again.

    Firefox uses a combined Stop/Reload/Go button that is positioned at the right end of the location bar.
    *You get a Stop button during page loading that changes to a Reload button when the page has finished loading
    *You get a Go button if you modify the location bar content
    *Middle-click the Reload button to duplicate the current tab to a new tab

  • How do I get all the control buttons in one place in 3.6.16, like they used to be in previous versions? Having the refresh and stop buttons between address and search windows, and the home button to the far right is awful.

    In 3.6.16, the buttons are all over the place. In previous versions, the forward, back, refresh, stop and home buttons were all together. In this version, the refresh and stop buttons are between the address and search windows, and the home button to the far right.
    I would love to have them all together as they used to be - much more user friendly that way. I have tried installing alternate themes, but the coding of this version over-rides the themes.

    Firefox 4.0 has a combined Reload and Stop and Go button that appears at the right end of the location bar.
    To restore the Firefox 3 appearance you can use these steps:
    * Open the "View > Toolbars > Customize" window to move the Stop and Reload button out of the location bar.
    * Move the Reload and Stop buttons to their previous position at the left side of the location bar.
    * Set the order to "Reload - Stop" to get a combined "Reload/Stop" button.
    * Set the order to "Stop - Reload" or separate them otherwise to get two distinct buttons.
