Is there a Silver (palette) Variant control?

I've been (consistently) using Modern controls, but for a new Project (and a spiffier-looking Front Panel), I started using controls and indicators from the Silver palette. So that my sub-VIs have some visual consistency, I wanted to use Silver there, as well (I especially like not having to change the names of the default Error In and Error Out to "Error In" and "Error Out", which has been my own "style" with the Modern controls).
I can't find the Variant control (which I want to put inside a Silver Cluster). Is it simply "not there" (and are there plans to create it, given that this is no longer the Silver Anniversary of LabVIEW?). If so, are there hints on how I could "build my own"? If not, where is it?
Bob Schor

The Silver controls were designed for user interfaces, not as a general replacement for Modern controls, so there are some controls that do not have Silver versions. (There are also some Silver controls that we want but haven't gotten staffed to implement yet, e.g. tab controls and radio buttons).
However, someone inside NI wanted a Silver Variant recently and made the attached version. It looks pretty good without the scrollbar visible, but unfortunately the scrollbar is drawing at the wrong size and I don't think I can fix it without making changes to the LabVIEW executable itself.
It is possible to "make your own" Silver style controls using the Control Editor - you can copy/paste the decorations from the Silver controls into the parts of other controls. There are limitations, however, such as not being able to edit some things (such as scrollbar style) in the Control Editor.

Graph palette like control

Hi,
I am trying to implement Graph palette like control for my application.
Graph palette has 3 controls - cursor, zoom and hand tool. Cool thing is the zoom control. When you click on that - a picture menu(like, picture ring control) pops up. How can I implement a control like this?
Thanks,
Ritesh

Hi Ritesh,
is it that bad to show the current state of the zoom mode selection?
If you want to simulate the graph palette in all and every feature, I would suggest to use (customized) boolean buttons. When the user clicks on "zoom" you open a small window (positioned above "zoom") showing another boolean buttons!
Maybe someone else will have a more simple idea...
Btw. you could have explained your actual point in this question a lot earlier...
Best regards,

Silver XY Graph Control legend does not scale properly

When a Silver XY Graph Control is dropped on a front panel, and the control is set to "Fit Control to Pane", the graph legend does not move like it is supposed to. This seems to only affect the XY graph. The waveform graph/chart opererate correctly (i.e., like the Modern controls). Can anyone confirm this?
Chris

Hello D60,
This behaviour has not been fixed in LV 2012.
COPY - Please use "Copy to clipboard" by right clicking on the background
PASTE:
Please note that only the background of the graph will change. The rest of the elements such as the legend will not be altered (I did specify this was a cheap workaround )
In my case, this was not an issue, since I was only displaying the legend (which I made transparent anyway).
Please see the attached .ctrl file.
Merry Christmas!

Is there a widget for Volume Control for HTML5 projects

Is there a Volume Control widget for HTML5 projects in Captivate 8? How does articulate do it?
Is there a 3rd party Volume Control widget?

Hi there
"Adobe Captivate will need to change to complete."
I'm assuming here you meant to type "compete". But that's the nature of any upgrade, no? I'm sure that Captivate will change.
For what it's worth, I was toying with creating a simple audio player. Captivate does offer a way to increase the volume and decrease the volume using Advanced Actions. It works for SWF output. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to work when Captivate produces HTML 5. I didn't test with Responsive output.
Cheers... Rick

Is there a way I can control the resolution of the photos I transfer to the iPad?

Is there a way I can control the resolution of the photos I transfer to the New iPad? I just received the new iPad and would like to reduce the size of the resolution of the pictures I am transferring.
I have storage capacity issue and I am only able to transfer about half the number of pictures I had on original Ipad with the same storage capacity. I upgraded to the New Ipad and I am transferring all the pictures I had in the original Ipad. I do not know why they are not all transfering since the New Ipad got full before all the pictutres where transfered. I used Itunes to transfer the pictures I have in Iphoto . I assume this is because the New Ipad has a higher resolution screen and is allowing the pictures to be transfered automatically to the New Ipad at a higher resolution than the original Ipad?
Any thoughts?
Ed

I have a Canon 7D and the picture are large.
Step my step instructions, would be great if it is at all possible.
What you as is difficult without knowing your exact circumstances, i.e. what format pictures are you sending, do you shoot in .jpg or shoot in RAW and convert to .jpg, etc. However, I don't see a way to quickly reduce the size of your image files without reprocessing your files in some manner.
You could export all of the images to be loaded onto your iPad in JPEG format using Lightroom or Aperture and greatly lower the quality setting in the .jpg export. If you do this make sure you export to a new folder. Lowering the quality can have a huge impact on the size of the image files. If this worked it would give you the advantage of still having the largest amount of pixels allowable on the iPad 3. I found that on my iPad 2 I could 'get away' with setting the quality to around 50 without seeing any obvious changes. A higher quality setting may or may not be required on the iPad 3, time will tell and as my iPad 3 is going back I've not taken the time to put more than a few sample (800 or so) images on it. They were exported at a quality setting of 60 and look as well as can be expected considering my defective iPad 3 display.
If you images are already exported at a lower quality setting and are still too large the next step would be to reduce the dimensions of the image. Lightroom has this capability. I don't know about Aperture, but I assume it does.
My normal workflow with my 7D:
Take picture in RAW.
Transfer to Lightroom 4 converting the Canon RAW files to Adobe's DNG format.
Process images in Lightroom. If any need further processing then export to Photoshop and/or Nik plug-ins.
Export processed images that I wish to have on my iPad to my Pictures folder in .jpg format using a quality setting of 60. I do not reduce the dimension of the image as I want the maximum sized images my iPad will allow. As I only transfer a couple of thousand size is not an issue.
Use iTunes to Sync photos to iPad.
As was mentioned by a previous poster you could use Photoshop to bulk process the photos but that requires both Photoshop and a knowledge of creating a bulk action. Not hard, but very confusing if you haven't used both Photoshop and the bulk process before.
There may be other methods that could work for you but I am not aware of them. With the breadth of experience of the members of this forum perhaps someone else could chime in with suggestions.

How do I double space a document using Pages There is NO Line Spacing control in the drop down menu in the format bar

How do I double space a document in Pages. The instruction say to use the Line Spacing control in the format bar, but there is NO Line Spacing control in the drop down menu under Format. I'm writing a novel and I am having to manually double space after every line. It is **** when I am trying to edit my work.

The computer is not too old (and neither are you ). It may be better if you could upgrade it from 10.5.8 to 10.6 ... but that would not solve this problem.
As both Paul and I have advised ... get yourself on Pages > go to the View menu and halfway down is the option 'Show Inspector'. You'll end up with a panel like Paul showed you in his post of 08:42. Let's see what you can do from there.

Is there any how to make control without xaml ?

Is there any how to make control without
Generic.xaml ?
When we use templete control , Normally we made a custom control using geniri.xaml to make make up control templet.
without Generic.xaml is it possiable to make up control templet that contained many component like a button stackpannel.
this is my sample code
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Runtime.InteropServices.WindowsRuntime;
using Windows.UI;
using Windows.UI.Xaml;
using Windows.UI.Xaml.Controls;
using Windows.UI.Xaml.Data;

private TextBlock testBlock;
public DerrickPanel()
this.DefaultStyleKey = typeof(DerrickPanel);
parentPanel = new StackPanel();
testBlock = new TextBlock();
parentPanel.Orientation = Orientation.Vertical;
parentPanel.Background = new SolidColorBrush(Colors.Red);
testBlock.Foreground = new SolidColorBrush(Colors.Aqua);
testBlock.Text = " hello World ";
parentPanel.Children.Add(testBlock);
Best Regrads Derrick.

Here's one solution that I found:
public sealed partial class MainPage : Page
public MainPage()
this.InitializeComponent();
protected override void OnNavigatedTo(NavigationEventArgs e)
DerrickPanel D = new DerrickPanel();
MyGrid.Children.Add(D);
public class DerrickPanel : Control
private StackPanel parentPanel;
private TextBlock testBlock;
public DerrickPanel()
this.DefaultStyleKey = typeof(DerrickPanel);
this.Template = DerrickPanel.CreateTemplate();
private static ControlTemplate CreateTemplate()
string xaml = "<ControlTemplate xmlns=\"http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation\">";
xaml += "<StackPanel Orientation=\"Vertical\" Background=\"Red\">";
xaml += "<TextBlock Foreground=\"Aqua\">Hello World</TextBlock>";
xaml += "</StackPanel>";
xaml += "</ControlTemplate>";
var сt = (ControlTemplate)XamlReader.Load(xaml);
return сt;

Why isnt there an iphone app to control Logic?

Why isnt there an iphone app to control Logic like the one Motu makes to control Digital performer? How could Motu be ahead of Apple on this? Apple makes Logic and the Iphone right????

Since dsharrow mentioned it, I use AC-7 Core on my iPad all the time. I can sit on my midi drum kit across the room and hit record on the iPad to start Logic 9. Since my iMac is across the room I have a 2nd HDMI monitor set to mirror mode that is close to my kit. This makes it easy to view my timeline while recording. While using the wireless Apple Trackpad resting on one of my tom-tom pads I can actually make simple edits on the fly. I could also use the App; SplashTop Remote as well but then I wouldn't be able to use AC-7 Core at the same time. Hope this gives you some options to think about.

Is there volume fade or volume control for audio? If for example you wanted to use an audio clip and adjust the volume.

You should be able to right click your audio and select Fade, followed by Fade In Audio or Fade Out Audio.
Please refer to my blog post on Fades

As mentioned I am strictly an Elements Windows user, so I am assuming that the Premiere Elements Windows and Mac

Is there a desktop app to control apple tv?

I have an entirely apple home. Even so, often times the kids have the iPads or iTouch upstairs and the little silver remote for the apple TV is usually lost in the couch. I find it hard to believe that there isn't an app available on the iMac desktop app store that will control your apple TV. Can anyone help? Thanks!

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Sorry, there is no such application.

Is there any way I can control which specific access point I connect (and stay connected) to from amongst a set of access points with the same SSID?

I'm working from a boat in a harbor in which the ISP has deployed numerous access points around the periphery. All the access points share the same SSID and each is configured to use either channel 1, 6 or 11. From my location, there are over a dozen of these access points "visible" (based on the the output of WiFi Scanner) with a range of RSSI and S/N values that vary over time.
The ISP has told me that the quality of my connection should be "perfectly fine" for any access point with an RSSI value better than -75, but I know from experience that my connection quality is miserable (i.e. < 50Kbps download) for almost all of these, including those with RSSI values better than -75. There is at least one exception, however, which gives me on the order of 2Mbps download, which is "great" in this context.
I've tried using a more powerful USB antenna plugged into my MacBook Air (mid 2011), but as far as I can tell, it really doesn't make much difference. Neither does my location within the boat. The overriding factor seems to be which access point I happen to connect up to.
I should point out that the closest access points are about 75 yards away, with many of them being several hundred yards away or more. I'm guessing that even though the signal strength of some of the distant access points is causing them to get "chosen" some times, the results are unacceptable due to the distance.
I'm hoping that I can determine, through experimentation, which access point(s) provide(s) acceptable performance and then configure my Mac to limit my connection to those points through whatever mechanism I need to use (e.g. channel, MAC id, etc.).

Establishing a wireless connection with a client computer is left to the access point for various reasons. One reason that your Mac may not connect to the strongest access point is that it may have reached a limit of the number of clients it can serve, leaving it unable to accept a connection with another. The limit may not be very large.
Suppose that happens, and your Mac establishes a connection with a more distant access point having a weaker signal. Then, suppose a client drops off the network. Doesn't this mean your Mac will switch to the stronger access point? Not necessarily. The throughput delivered to and from your Mac would have to drop below a threshold specified in the AP for it to drop the client, leaving your Mac free to connect with another one. The reason for this is to prevent rapid switching from one AP to another in an area in which two signals are of approximately equal quality. If that were to occur the frequent and repetitive handshaking between the two devices would slow throughput to zero.
In an environment in which several access points are broadcasting the same SSID, Apple provides no insight as to how it determines which access point to choose. This is the reason I suspect this "choice" is a function of the router, or access point. The connection originates with it, not the Mac.
Now, what would solve your dilemma would be to determine a way to control the access point with which your Mac connects, by specifying the access point's unique MAC address for example. In this happy circumstance, you could maintain an editable "whitelist" or "blacklist" of the harbor's access points and be able to choose which among them you prefer.
I do not believe OS X maintains such a record of MAC addresses though, only those of the routers it uses. If I am correct about that, such a solution is unlikely to exist. Don't let that discourage you from searching for one though... I would concentrate on something like "selecting access point by specific MAC address".
I did find this patent application though:
Roaming Network Stations Using A Mac Address Identifier To Select New Access Point
Perhaps it's a start
