OGLControlPanel inside a tab window?

Hi,
I'm trying to get a working OGL panel inside a tab, but I keep getting errors. According to http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabWindows-CVI/CVI-OpenGL-control-on-child-panel/m-p/98192/highlight/true#M7... it's just how it works, but there are ways around it.I've downloaded example http://sine.ni.com/devzone/cda/epd/p/id/1061 , but its not exactly what I need - it creates a child panel window inside main window.
So, my question is - is there a way to put a OGL panel inside a tab window?
Regards, Benji.

Dear BenjiF!
Sorry for the late reply, I tried to insert the OGL control on a tabpanel in CVI built in OGL example: Ogldemo.
I got the following error:
NON-FATAL RUN-TIME ERROR: "ogldemo.c", line 259, col 5, thread id 0x00002478: Function OGLConvertCtrl: (return value == -1003 [0xfffffc15]). Only a canvas or picture can be converted into an OGL control
If you have a look on the help of OGLConvertCtrl >> Panelhandleparameter, you will see the following:
The panel has to be a parent panel and should not be the child of any other panel. The panel cannot be scrollable or resizable.
Maybe this restriction is the reason, why is it not working.
3D Graph custom control could be an alternative, if it is suitable for your application. An example for this: https://decibel.ni.com/content/docs/DOC-6452
In the linked topic I found a useable workaround:
"The fact that the OGL control is only available on parent panels is not necessarily a problem with CVI. Instead, it is simply a limitation of the OGL control. Likewise, a limitation of the easy tab control is that it takes in child panels. I would suggest copying the final image to the tab panel (as mentioned by PaoloB), or possible use a separate panel to display your 3D images."
Some material related to OpenGL.
Please go through this KB: http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/D369558F34AA3264862565FC007CBB33?OpenDocument

How do I add photos to a tabbed window?

If I add a tabbed window using the "Widgets" tab, I will want to place multiple photos within any of the tabbed windows I created. HOWEVER, I am unable to find a way to upload/add photos to any of the tabbed windows.
Typically, I should be able to find a way to "Import" a photo or image into each tabbed window. However, I am not seeing that option anywhere? I have hovered my mouse over the blue circled arrows and NOTHING shows up that allows me to import or upload an image.
Can someone please help me.

Hi,
Are you referring to the Tabbed Panels widget in Muse Widget Library?
If yes, you may just use the place option to add an image within any panel.
From the File menu, select Place; and then click anywhere inside the panel to add the image.
Hope it helps,
Sonam

Just upgraded to lateste verison of Firefox and started using the Tab groups. Like them, but noticed that Save all bookmarks is now gone. How do I save all my bookmark stored inside the tab groups?

I am using Firefox 6.0 (and still using windows XP ). I have a habit of opening tons of tabs and the new Tab group feature seems perfect for me. But I couldn't find anywhere to save all my tabs as the Save all bookmarks is now gone. How do I save all my bookmarks stored inside the tab groups?
thanks

I had to restart firefox because of an update and I saved all my tabs and when I restarted firefox it has lost all of my saved bookmarks...won't be using the new tab groups again..very disappointed

Scale Object with Panel, but what about inside a Tab control?

The Scale Object with Panel option works very well for simple UI
objects. I like to use it for VIs that display tables or
multicolumn listboxes, etc. I am finding a limitation when I use
the Tab control. If I have a table or listbox in each tab, I
would like them to scale with the panel. I would also like the
tab to scale. It should look like an Excel workbook where all
sheets scale with the window even though they are each on their own
tab. If I could only Group the various tables / lists with the
Tab itself....
This wouldn't be such an issue if the Bounds property of the
multicolumn listbox was writable. I can set the number of rows
and columns, but column size can be variable and not uniform across all
columns. Also, that solution looks and behaves much different
from the Scale Object with Panel approach.... not to mention the extra
coding required.
I'm guessing that this amounts to a feature request, but if anyone has a present-version workaround, I'd love to hear about it.
See you at NI Week!

Hi Kalin T,
Thanks for your prompt reply. I am running version 8.01. My problem is that i cannot select "Scale object with pane" for the controls inside a Tab control if the Tab control "Scale object with pane" is turned on. I want both the Tab control and the controls inside to be scaled, for instance an Waveform graph or an textbox when i resize my main window.
Best regards,
Mattis

Specifying items inside a tab view

Someone please help, I can't figure this out:
I'm building an app with Applescript Studio starting with the Table sample project. I had everything working until I messed with the interface moving things into tabs; now I don't know how to change the following line:
set contactsDataSource to data source of table view "contacts" of scroll view "contacts" of theObject
that's the original line that broke when I moved table into a tab (called "orders"). How do I change that line now that the table is inside a tab? I tried something like this:
set contactsDataSource to data source of table view "contacts" of scroll view "orders" of view of tab view "orders" of theObject
and variations of that, but no matter what I do, I can't seem to call it correctly. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

I'm assuming that "theObject" is the window for the "will open" handler of the with.applescript.
It may be easier to see the hierarchical structure of your user interface objects by switching the Instances tab of your nib file from icon view to outline view. To do so, click the icon for list view in the top of the right-hand scroll bar (it's the lower icon; the top is for icon view). Then disclose the various triangles for your objects.
You almost have the right sequence. A tab view (NSTabView) consists of a series of tab view items (NSTabViewItem), one for each of the different tabs in the view. So, make sure your tab view item has an AppleScript name "tabViewItem" and then it should look like this:
set contactDataSource to data source of table view "contacts" of scroll view "orders" of tab view item "tabViewItem" of tab view "orders" of theObject
Hope this helps....

Opening file in a new tab/window

Hi,
I have a form (HTML added through a widget) and a number of images on one page. I want each image to be a link to a file, where the images will be seen full quality. however, doing this takes visitors away from the page instead of opening a new tab/window - then clicking back means that the form data is lost - i.e. tickboxes are no longer ticked, etc.
I cannot use the photo viewing page included in iWeb, as the pictures will then overlap with my form because the enlarged images are loaded on the same page.
I hope this makes sense, and if anyone could help with opening files in new tab/window it would be great, or a way of opening a photo viewing platform in a separate tab/window directly from a click of one of the photos. I have seen other sites - http://www.aroundthebusch.com/Folio/London%20to%20Istanbul.html
(this is not mine) where the photo viewing "platform" is IDEAL. I would love something just like this if someone could advise.
i do not want the photos to link to an external page (which can be opened in a new window) as it would mean me creating separate pages for each picture, and linking them all... no way!
Also, it would obviously be preferable to be quick to set up, but also to change. I would need to have multiple pages of many photos, each with the viewing facilities so it could not take a long time to set up. I may also need to add/delete some photos, so if all the linking work was done automatically it would be fantastic.
Any help much appreciated,
Thanks in advance, James

If you open it in javascript and specify a height/width or location it should open in a new window.
window.open("http://www.adobe.com", "_blank", "toolbar=yes, scrollbars=yes, resizable=yes, top=500, left=500, width=400, height=400");

When I click on links in websites the links don't work unless I right click and choose open website in another tab/window. This is even a problem on the Firefox page.

When I try to open a link on any page/website Firefox does not open the link. It doesn't even "work" at opening the link, it just sits idling. I have to right click and choose "open link in new tab/window" in order for Firefox to open the link. It doesn't happen 100% of the time but happens especially if there is a button or picture that must be clicked. Simple text links seem to work more often then button or picture links. One example provided below. When you click on the "launch Jumpstart" button it will not open unless you right click & open new. This also happens from my Yahoo! Email account, on Facebook, Cructhfield.com and other websites with "button" related links.

I have the same problem but it appears that an add-on I'm using is causing the problem. Try opening Firefox in safe mode (which disables add-ons) Then try it. If that solves the problem, you need to disable all your add ons and enable them one by one to figure out which one(s) is causing the problem.

One solution would be to generate the report via an servlet which you then call with an af:golink with an target frame set to blank.

If I have several tabs/windows open and I go to a new page, it hijack several of my current windows with that same URL. How to stop?

I frequently have a couple of windows with several tabs in each window open. For example, I always have a small window open in the corner of my screen with a time tracking program set up. Sometimes when I open a new tab or window and go to a URL (not thru a search engine, but just directly), it will "hijack" one or more of my other tabs/windows and plug in that same URL, losing whatever I had previously open. I've checked through all the prefs and I don't see why or how this problem is happening. What gives? I'm on an iMac using OS X Yosemite 10.10.1 using Firefox 34.0.5. HELP!

Sometimes a problem with Firefox may be a result of malware installed on your computer, that you may not be aware of.
You can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software:

I just updated to 4.0.1 and I get the "We're sorry. Firefox had a problem and crashed. We will try to open your tabs/windows when Firefox restarts" However, it just keeps popping back up, firefox never restarts!!!

This morning I had a popup on my Windows XP PC stating that the 4.0.1 update was available. I upgraded. now, i receive the following error: We're sorry. Firefox had a problem and crashed. We will try to open your tabs/windows when Firefox restarts. You can submit crash report data, blah blah blah (which i have submitted several)
But, firefox DOES NOT ever open. It just pops back up with that same report window, over and over.

How can i create a filechooser button inside the plugin window?

Hi
i'd like to create a filechooser button to load/save but inside the plugin window. Is it possible ? if yes how can i do that ?
and i need the algorithm to be Mac/Windows compatible if possible
thanks a lot
*best regards*
Jeff

If by the "plugin window" you mean the dialog an automation or a filter plugin from the SDK sample code opens for you, you have to write platform-specific code using either Cocoa on Mac or regular WinAPI on Windows (e.g. by hooking GetOpenFileName()/GetSaveFileName() functions to a button you will add to the resource file or create dynamically). Take a look at any plugin that has a GUI (e.g. the Dissolve plugin) and you'll see that the GUI code is entirely platform-specific as there is no platform-independed GUI framework bundled with Photoshop anymore.
Another option is to use some third-party cross-platform library such as Qt, but if you just need a couple of buttons and file selection dialogs it's probably not worth the trouble,.

Options Startup Show my Windows & Tabs from last time,but upon exit FF doesn't ask to save tabs & windows. When restarting FF I have a home pape,but no Bookmark tabs show. Why

Upon starting FF and going to my Home Page, I have no Bookmarks or Tabs showing. I have to Re-load the Bookmark Tabs. My options at Startup are "Show my Windows & Tabs from last time" Also using the Firefox exit,it does not ask to save tabs & windows on Exit. I'm getting tired of adding Bookmark Tabs each time I want to use FF.

It is possible that there is a problem with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
Delete the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.

How do I always open email messages as "view message in new tab window"?

Hi, right now my email displays all my messages in a small top window, and the viewed message in a small bottom window. Then when this happens if I click the "view message in a new tab window" button on the displayed email, it will get rid of all my messages and just display the main message in a larger window. I like that. Problem is I have to click that button for each email that I open, and that can be a hassle when I have to open and read hundreds of email messages.
Is there any way I can set the default settings of the email to always open email, by default, as "view message in a new tab window"?

Ok, I looked through the help files and found that if I double click on a message in the main email window (and also click the upper left and upper right arrows to close those windows in the email folder), I almost get to read that entire message in a full window. That's a lot better to know that.

How do I change the data used by a Waveform graph dependent upon which tab window is active?

Hi,
First I want to say thank you in advanced!! Let me describe the situation a little bit. My front panel VI (see attachment) has a tab control and on each tab window I have an intensity chart with a free-drag cursor. Below the tab control window I am trying to display either the row or the column of data where the cursor is located, I can do this for each intensity chart individually. I am trying to clean the block diagram up a little bit and instead of using 4 Waveform Graphs, I want to use only one, can the data that is displayed in the wave form graph is associated with which page is active on the Tab Control. Can this be done? And how can I do it?
Thank you again,
