Labview Excel Container can't close Exceel

I have an application that uses a container. I chose as the active X object an Excel Shpeadsheet, but I notice that the container reference is to an Excel Workbook, OK fine. I use the properties and methods to select sheets in the workbook and to read and write data, no problems. The problem comes when I go to close down. I have tried closing all references, but when I finish Excel is still running long after I close labview. I have plenty of experience with straight out active x and have performed these same actions on Excel without the container. What is different about the container. It seems to automatically start Excel, but gives no way of closing it. I even tried calling the parent of the workbook(W
orkbooks), the parent of workbooks(Excel application) and closing down and deleting their references in reverse order of their creation, still Excel runs. Anyone out there solve this problem?

Hello,
I've run into the same, if you have opened any sub-references to sheets, books etc they all need to be closed. What you have is a surviving reference floating about.
I wrote a container that kept all these references in shift registers and I needed to ensure that every new instance was closed after it was finished with. By the way it took a while to chase them all down.
If it is excel 97 and all you want to do is put data in tables and copy graphs I can forward you a copy of our component

  • I can't close my firefox not excel or the apple system

    My three buttons from close, minimized & maximized do not appear... its really weird.
    I was using excel & I put alt shift enter for a formula & now my whole system is blocked & I can't close any program.
    The firefox appears on the screen but I can quit the application, help me please.

    Hello there, you have posed to the applescript discussions.
    If you are using 10.4 (Tiger) can I recommend you post here:
    http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=758
    You could try force quit (hold down command-option-enter) and choose the programs that are unresponsive.
    Or you could hold down your power key for some time, and you machine will power down (yes you have lost your work)

  • How can I close one window without closing all open windows?

    If I open more than one window, I can't close just one. When I try to close just one, I'm warned that I'm about to close more than one (all of them) but I'm not told how to close just one.

    Are you sure you aren't getting tabs confused for windows? If you close a window containing multiple tabs, Firefox should give you a warning that you are about to close several tabs. To close a tab do one of the following:
    * click the x at the right end of the tab (when you only have a few tabs open)
    * open the tab you want to close, then click the x that appears
    * right click the tab and select 'Close Tab'
    * open the tab you want to close and press Ctrl+W
    You can close a window using Ctrl+Shift+W.

  • I would like to read a text file in which the decimal numbers are using dots instead of commas. Is there a way of converting this in labVIEW, or how can I get the program to enterpret the figures in the correct way?

    The program doest enterpret my figures from the text file in the correct way since the numbers contain dots instead of commas. Is there a way to fix this in labVIEW, or do I have to change the files before reading them in the program? Thanks beforehend!

    You must go in the labview option menu, you can select 'use the local
    separator' in the front side submenu (LV6i).
    If you use the "From Exponential/Fract/Eng" vi, you are able to select this
    opton (with a boolean) without changing the labview parameters.

  • Is there any object in labview that contains a list of data for the user to select (selection one at a time) or add a new data?

    Is there any object in labview that contains a list of data for the user to select (selection one at a time) or add a new data?

    List and table controls -> listbox..is that what you are thinking of?
    The listbox presents the user with a list of options, and you can set it to only accept one selection at a time...Adding new data to the list can not be done directly by the user but if you make e.g. a text control and a button you can programatically insert new objects described in the text box when the button is pressed...(see example).
    If you need more than one column you have the multicolumn listbox. If you want the users to write new entries directly yu can use a table and read selected cells using it's selection start property to read what cell has been selected.

  • Can I close all layers? or even better, stop illustrator from opening all layers when I open a file?

    I just installed cs6, and when I open files in Illustrator, it opens all of the layers which contain sublayers.  It does this even if all the top-level layers were closed during the previous save.  The files I work with have a large layer-structure, so re-closing the top-level layers every time I open a file wastes a lot of my time.  Can I close all layers at once, or better yet, can I stop Illustrator from opening all of the layers automatically when I load a file?
    If not, then WHY on earth not?  I can't be the only one who opens and closes large files with lots of layers and sub-layers...
    Thanks for your help.
    Edit: I also am noticing this problem is even worse in cs6, because openning and closing individual layers plays a little animation of rotating the triangular arrow before the layer which, cute as it may be, just makes the task of individually closing up all my layers that much more tedious.  Can I turn off that little animation of the triangular arrow when opening and closing layers?

    You can save it as a pdf and when you open that in AI the layers will not be opened even if they have sublayers.
    Not true. Does the same nonsense an .AI file does. Saved as a .PDF, closed Layers/subgroups get opened.
    And no one cares!
    I do. Every other Adobe program with a layering sceme seems to be able to remember that you saved a file with all layers and subs closed. But not this one.
    Maybe someone from the AI development team should ask someone from the Photoshop team how they've managed it.....for decades.

  • How do I make labview quit completely when I close a project?

    So in the latest verson of Labview that I have (2012) Labview doesn't quit when you close a project or standalone VI.  Instead it opens up a Labview browser that shows recent projects, has links to find drivers, forums, etc.
    I want labview to quit when I close a project with the red X.  Is there a setting to do that, or do I have to close my project, wait for the Labview browser to finish reloading itself, then quit that?

    try this...as you press the "red X" , panel closes down with "quit LV" completly shutdown of application only if it is a "stand alone/run time engine" executable
    A better way here would be to use the Discard? input.  In the RUN_TIME_ENGINE == TRUE case, put in a FALSE constant and a TRUE in the default.  If there are no front panels open and there is no code running, the Run Time Engine will shut down.  It is a lot cleaner than the Quit LabVIEW function since you can close things down properly.
    But from the Dev Environment, CTRL+Q will quit LabVIEW.  Otherwise, just close the getting started window when it comes back up.  As was said, just because you close your project does not mean you are ready to close LabVIEW.

    The above graph generated manually in excel. I want to generate the same using excel report generation toolkit. when I use Excel Insert Graph.vi where the input data is 2D array with numeric data but here labview converts the empty cells (eg.x -axis 1,data1- is empty) as zero and while plotting i am getting zero for empty cell values.
    Can anyone please help me on how to plot the graph without adding zero for empty cells?

    Hi Bharathi,
    The Excel Insert graph function takes in only 2d arrays as inputs. Since arrays can only have numeric values, any table with a null string is read as 0. Now to get a plot like you mentioned, you could read the table and replace blank Strings as NaN. NaN values in an array when plotted do not appear in the excel sheet. For reference I have attached a sample vi to help you understand.

  • How can I close an AppleID/iCloud account that is no longer used?

    I have 2 MobileMe addresses that were moved to iCloud. As we all know, AppleID's cannot be merged. All of my purchases are under my main AppleID/ iCloud account. I just want to close the 2 I am not using. Has anyone ever successfully done this?

    You can't close accounts or ID's, you can only stop using them by deleting the accounts from your iOS devices.

  • How do we use if statement in labview?moreover can i use if statement inside for loop?

    how do we use if statement in labview?moreover can i use if statement inside for loop?

    The if statement in LabVIEW is the Case structure. You can find that on the Structures palette right next to the For Loop. If you're still on the same subject about terminating a for loop early, then what you do is enclose your functions inside the loop with a case statment and make one of the case's empty except for one or more constants that you might have to wire. Hopefully, the attached picture will explain what I mean. Also, as I mentioned in one of your other posts, I think this technique is not as good as using a while loop. The array in the attached example is the same size no matter what and you may have to handle stripping extra or invalid elements.

  • Is there a way we can open/close posting periods on a "per day" basis?

    Hi SAP gurus,
    Is there a way we can open/close posting periods on a per day basis?
    It is not possible in OB52 since it only has control per period and not per day.
    Will assign points for suggestions. =) Thanks!

    Hii
    In standard SAP there is not such functionality where u can do these kind of configuration...it is at least for a month that is through OB52.
    If u still wants this functionality it is through the validation.
    u need to create the validation for that company code and thn u can use this functionality....
    hope it helps u

    Have you tried a soft-reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider if it appears), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

    Not a problem, just a desired function.

    Hi JLCluster,
    If you just click the small x in the tab you are currently viewing, it will close only that tab. I think you are clicking the x in upper right hand corner of the screen which closes all open tabs as you described.
    Hopefully this helps!
