Is there a way to make labview messages always appear on top of all windows?

I have a main VI running and a user selects a non-Labview window to work on. Is there a way make the user prompt or user input express VI messages appear on top of all windows? I have experimented with the "make window always on top.vi" from the NI website. That brings the VI that is running to the top but not the prompt for the express VI message. I have also used the "make window always on top.vi" in a sub-VI and called that sub-VI to be always on top and it works. I was just wondering if there was a way to do it with the express VIs that NI already has written instead of making a custom message the way I have mentioned.
Thanks,
Troy

If you only need to display a prompt and can get by with a limited set of canned buttons (OK, Cancel, Retry, Continue, etc.), you can try a VI that calls the Windows API MessageBox function. You can display a message box with user-defined title, text and buttons. There is an option to use the system modality which is what you want in this case. I use my own version of this all the time for that very reason.

    Engage the mute switch. It's the little slider just above the volume buttons. If orange is showing, it's on mute.

  • Is there a way to make the message+ app use wifi as default if wifi is available available?

    I often am on WiFi with very little service and message+ tries to send it over service and if fails. I then have to turn on airplane mode and wifi to get it to send over the WiFi network. Is there a way to make this just happen automatically?

    I can see that becoming pretty annoying, Garrett611. We do try extremely hard to make sure you get a reliable signal in as many places as possible. Since there are places where Wi-Fi is available but there's factors beyond our control that decrease cellular service, Wi-Fi is a great alternative! If you go into Verizon Messages > Menu > Settings > there is an option to Sync Over Wi-Fi only when connected to Wi-Fi.

  • Is there a way to make Photoshop Elements 5 (2006) compatible to a Dell Windows 7 laptop?

    I received a copy of Photoshop Elements 5 (2006) and have a Dell Windows 7. I installed and registered my name to the software, but am aware that the program is compatible with Windows Vista or XP. Is there a way to make it compatible to my computer and/or update/upgrade to a more recent version? If there is no way to make the program work for my computer, is there a way to un-register my name from it?
    Thank you for any help at all!
    -Blair Gorman

    Do you get any problems when trying to run the software on Windows 7?  If yes, try to run it under Windows XP or Vista Compatibility Mode.

  • Is there a way to make Search Bar results appear in a new tab (as opposed to in the current tab)?

    I'm new to Firefox, but find it a vast improvement over IE. I just find it cumbersome to have to open a new tab before I use the Search Bar...I would much prefer an option akin to "Search results appear in new tab."
    Thanks for the help!

    Edit: I found it.
    This preference can be changed using about:config
    (1) Type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter (click the button promising to be careful, and please do be careful!)
    (2) In the filter box, type or paste '''search''' and pause until the preferences are filtered
    (3) Double-click '''browser.search.openintab''' to change it to true. You're done, you can close about:config now.

    Are you a keyboard person or a mouse person?
    Using the keyboard, after typing your query, hold the Alt key while pressing Enter to open the search results in a new tab. This also works in the address bar: when you type the name of a new site, hold Alt when pressing Enter to open that site in a new tab.
    Using the mouse, hold the Ctrl key while clicking the magnifying glass icon.
    Is there a way to ''always'' open search results in a new tab without having to use Alt or Ctrl? Hmmm, maybe, I haven't researched that.

  • Is there a way to autoscroll the current accordion content to top of browser window?

    So this is a topic I have seen brought up but never solved….
    I have an accordion on my site which displays content larger than the browser window, so when you scroll down to the bottom of the content box and get to the next accordion topic and click on it stays in the same place in the broswer window however since the prior accordion content closes it leaves you scrolled half way down on the current content.
    So is there a way to bind an action where it autoscrolls and brings the browser to the top of the clicked accordion content?
    here you see the window scrolled to the bottom of the first accordion content and the second showing its hover state…. when you click on the "So i made.." content it leaves you with this...
    the middle of the second accordion content, causing you to have to scroll up to the top of it to continue reading….
    I found this jquery scrpit which supposedly would do it.  However since Muse exports is scripts differently it doesnt apply.
    $('.ui-accordion').bind('accordionchange', function(event, ui) {
                ui.newHeader // jQuery object, activated header
                ui.oldHeader // jQuery object, previous header
                ui.newContent // jQuery object, activated content
                ui.oldContent // jQuery object, previous content
                $('html, body').animate({scrollTop: $(ui.newHeader).offset().top}, 1);
    So now I need some help...
    Thx
    -Eric

    Hello,
    You can achieve this using the Anchors feature of Muse. Please follow the steps below :
    - Click on Anchor option in the toolbar as shown in the image :
    - Now click on the location on the webpage which you want to be the top of the page when click on Accordian panel triggers.
    - It will place the Anchor on that location. Now it will ask you to rename the anchor. Please rename the anchor to something convenient.
    - Now click on the first Accordian trigger and in the "Hyperlink" option in  the toolbar at the top, from the dropdown select the Anchor which you have added.
    - Do same for all the Accordian triggers.
    Now preview in a browser to see the results. Whenever you click on the Accordian trigger it will move to the location on the page where you have placed the anchor.
    Note : There is a known issue with the Anchors feature not working with Safari 6 (The latest version of Safari). It is a known bug and is likely to get fixed in future versions. You can test it using other Browsers.
    Hope this helps.
    Regards,
    Sachin

  • OSX 10.9 Mavericks is there any way to hide servers which always appear in finder after login (hide login items doesn't work as stardered)

    hi all my boss has just got himself a nice new mac and wants to connect it on to my windows domain at work, no problems there it’s all connect fine, one thing we done was to map a few of our network drives on our domain so he can easily load them to his mac, works great when it’s on the domain however when he goes home and logs in for each mapped drive it throws up a window saying it can’t connect or when it is connect opens up every drive, even after disabling them at login, now on the apple website the text reads "if you don’t want an item's window to be visible after login, select hide. (Hide does not apply to servers, which always appear in the finder after login), does anyone know any work around that can maybe solve this or point me in the direction where I can find one.

  • In Lion Mail is there a way to keep the messages from appearing?

    Sometimes I get unsavory images in my Mail that I don't particularly want my children to see if they happen to check the Mail. The Junk filter doesn't necessarily catch all of them. With the new Mail, the images show up when the message is selected, even if only to delete it. If I remember correctly, in the old Mail, there were buttons beside the message-line or heading that allowed the email to be selected without actually opening it up. These could then be deleted without opening the message. Can this still be done in Lion?

    u can slide the message viewer all the way over to the RIGHT, thus hiding the message from view, and then delete at will from the expanded left column.
    Message was edited by: coocooforcocoapuffs: can't tell my left from right yet.

  • Is there any way to make the Comments list appear somewhere other than below the active PDF?

    It would be great if there was some way the Comments list when participating in a PDF Review could be moved to the right side of the PDF or in a movable window of its own. With a dual monitor setup this arrangement would allow better use of the screen real estate. This might also be useful for those who want all of the comments to be able to be printed from one file without the annoying break between each page.

    Yes it is possible, just click & hold on the comments icon (two yellow speech bubbles) and drag in off the bar.

  • Is there any way to make Mail open next message?

    Is there any way to make Mail open the next message on the inbox automatically after deleting, forwarding o saving a message?
    I mean, is there any way to, after reading a message, going to the next or previous message without double clicking the main inbox window?
    I used (on windows) to read mail on outlook, or even on entourage for mac, and after I read a message, even if I deleted it, forward it, replied it, or even saving it on a folder, automatically the program (outlook, entourage, hotmail, etc) opened the next message on the inbox, but I am not able to find any way to make Mail do that.
    Is there a way to it? Or should I provide suggestions to Apple?
    By the way, no meant to prefer microsoft for this, I just think this is a cool feature for reading several messages one after another without going back to the main inbox page and double clicking the message to read...
    Thanks for any help

    Down-arrow, Return. Return opens the selected message. I read through hundreds of messages without ever touching the mouse. Once you get used to the keystrokes, Mail is extremely efficient.

  • HT4972 I replaced the computer I originally used to synch my iPhone. I get the message stating that my content will be erased, even though this is the computer I now synch with. Is there a way to make the update recognize the new computer?

    I replaced the computer I originally used to synch my iPhone. When trying to update to iOS5.0, I get the message stating that my content will be erased, even though this is the computer I now synch my phone with. Is there a way to make the update recognize the new computer so that my content will be kept?

    The best option is to copy your entire iTunes folder from your old computer to your new one using one of the methods described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527.  This will allow iTunes on your new computer to recognize and sync with your phone without deleting content.  You will also need to copy over any other synced data not in your iTunes library such as photos synced to your phone, calendars and contacts.
    If you can't do this, these articles will help you start syncing with your new computer with minimal or no data loss:
    Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive

  • Being deaf, I rely on the vibrate mode to alert me to incoming messages. I recently obtained an iPhone 4 and I find its vibrate mode wimpy, causing me to miss calls. Is there any way to make it more robust?

    Being deaf, I rely on the vibrate mode to alert me to incoming messages or reminders. I haven't had problems with my previous PDAs such as Blackberry and Motorola, but since I obtained an iPhone 4, I`ve discovered that its vibrate mode is more of a whimper than anything else. I`ve missed many calls as its vibes are indiscernible when it`s in the holster on my belt. Is there any way to make the vibes more robust? I`ve amped up the ring volume control to no avail.

    No, there is no adjustment for the vibrating mode.
