Open and close front panel

Hi,
I wish to have a VI that works as a main menu from which you start new
VI's depending on your choice. When the new VI start I want the main
menu to hide it's front panel temporarily until it the second VI
returns.
Anyone has a solution to this?

If you are using LabVIEW 5.1, you can use the VI server attributes to hide
the VI by moving it off of the desktop. I will send you a sample in private
mail.
The attribute (property) you need to use is Front Panel Window -> Window
Bounds.
Set it to something that is larger than your window size, like 2000, 2000,
2200, 2200.
I hope that this helps,

Open and Close Front Panel of SubVI

Hi all,
Running LabVIEW 2011 on Windows 7 x64. I am trying to get a subVI front panel to open from my main FP with the press of a button and then close with a button press in the subVI. Here is the piece from my main FP that calls the VI and opens the FP
Plots is defined in another loop and all of the loops are in a flat sequence. I did it this way because I want it to start with the first press and not stop my main loop from running. I have moved the item in the left loop around a lot so I'm not sure if I can run that in the same loop as the event or not. Either way opening the VI seems to work fine.
The problem shows up when trying to close the subVI for the SECOND time. The code is here:
As I said, the first time I open and close the VI everything works as I expect it should. I am then able to open it again but now the "blank button" doesn't function and I can't close the window or even open the block diagram to probe anything. I have been trying to figure this out for awhile, any insite would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks

Since installing LTR 5.4, which I've now upgraded to 5.6, I've encountered repeated slowness and malfunctions in operations, especially when using the Compare View function and the Tab key to open and close the right and left side panels. Such problems never arose during two years of using LTR-4 and nothing else has changed on my computer. I have a pretty simple system with only a few plug-ins, which are usually not in operation. I have 12GB of RAM in my Windows 7 PC. I could illustrate these problems with screen shots if you would tell me how to submit screen shots. Otherwise I will try to describe the problems in words.
The problem is clearly cumulative, growing worse as usage time passes. Compare View feature gradually slows down and eventually seems to choke as my work session proceeds. If I Exit LTR and re-enter and start all over, things will work normally for maybe 30 minutes, but then the Compare View feature begins to become very slow to respond. In a recent example with my screen full of thumbnails in Library mode I highlighted two images to compare. LTR started to open the Compare View screen by first having the top row of thumbnails disappear to be replaced by the "SELECT" and "CANDIDATE" words in their spaces (but no images), but Compare View never succeeded in gaining control of the screen. After some seconds the top row of thumbnails reasserted its position and the Compare View windows disappeared. But LTR kept trying to bring them back. Again the top row of thumbnails would go away, Select and candidate would reappear, try again, and give up. This went on for at least 2-3 minutes before I tried to choose File and Exit, but even that did not initially want to respond. It doesn't like to accept other commands when it's trying to open Compare View. Finally it allowed me to exit.
To experiment I created a new catalog of 1100 images. After 30-40 minutes, the Compare View function began to operate very slowly. With left and right side panels visible and two thumbnails highlighted, hitting Compare View can take half a minute before the two mid-size images open in their respective SELECT and CANDIDATE windows. When the side panels are open and two images are in the Select/Candidate spaces, hitting the Tab button to close the side panels produces a very delayed response--25-30 seconds to close them, a few more seconds to enlarge the two images to full size. To reverse the process (i.e., to recall the two side panels), hitting Tab would make the two sides of the screen go black for up to a minute, with no words visible. Eventually the info fields in the panels would open up.
I also created a new user account and imported a folder of 160 images. After half an hour Compare View began mis-placing data. (I have a screen shot to show this.) CANDIDATE appears on the left side of SELECT, whereas it should be on the right. The accompanying camera exposure data appears almost entirely to the left of the mid-screen dividing line. Although the Candidate and Select headings were transposed, the image exposure data was not, but the data for the image on the right was almost entirely to the left of the line dividing the screen in two.
Gurus in The Lightroom Forum have examined Task Manager data showing Processes running and Performance indicators and they see nothing wrong. I could also send screen shots of this data.
At this point, the only way I can process my images is to work 30-40 minutes and then shut down everything, exit, and re-start LTR. This is not normal. I hope you can find the cause, and then the solution. If you would like to see my screen shots, tell me how to submit them.

Accordion Panel Widget - open and close speed.

Hello,
Is there any way to change the speed that an Accordion Panel Widget opens and closes?
I would like it to be slower than it is now.
For my project it would be more relaxed and graceful.
Thanks,
Chris.

HI Chris
With Accordion we cannot setup the speed as of now , but you can try out composition widget where we can define transition, auto play speed.

Globally open and close all accordion panels

Is there a way to globally open and close all accordion
panels? For example, it would be nice to have an "Expand all" and
"Collapse all" link at the top of the page, before the accordion,
that has this functionality.

Hi FM_n_DC,
Accordions can only ever have a single panel open. If you
want individual control over which panels are open you probably
want to use a CollapsiblePanelGroup. This sample shows how to open
all and close all of the panels of the CollapsiblePanelGroup:

How to automatically open and close collapsable spry panels?

I designed a collapsable spry panel in DW to open and close automatically, with a 10 sec delay, unless person clicks on tab to close immediately.
The spry panel opens automatically, but will only close if i click the tab.
Is there a way for the collapsable spry panels to close automatically?
[Moved to Spry forum by moderator]

Arnout,
I feel certain the answer I need is in the reply you posted here, but I need a little more help to know exactly what to do. I am using a collapsible panel to show and hide a series of onload panoramic photos near the top of my page. What I want is for the collapsible panel to be open on some pages and closed on others and I want the animation of the panel closing to be seen too. I'm thinking this should be achievable with some sort of onload trigger or something. Currently I've gotten close to what I want by referencing two different .js files (one for the "open" panel state and another for the "closed" panel state), but this doesn't show the graceful animation of the panel closing. Any ideas on how to achieve what I want? Here is the url of the test site I'm developing: http://www.gregdanpartners.com/lrre2/index.html
Thanks in advance.

Main VI stops fucntioning after i open and close a subvi from an event structrue.

Hi,
I am trying to open a pop up vi from an event. I have been struggling with this for a while now. When i open a pop up vi and close it, the main vi stops running properly.
I have narrowed it down to the fact that the event which calls the subvi never finishes when the subvi is closed.
The attached image is an example of what I am currently doing. When I run this, i never see the dialog box that says 'here'
maybe useful as a hint to the problem...
This does work properly if I run the vi, click to open the subvi, close the subvi, (here the main vi is not working properly, cant click anything) then stop the main vi, run the main vi again, open and close the subvi, and then i see the 'here' dialog, and my main vi functions properly.
thanks

What is actually happening is you hit the Ok button and your panel closes and you set the Stop 2 to True. Ok, that is fine except for the fact that the Stop 2 terminal has already been read during that iteration of the loop. So the loop will go again. This time is has read the Stop 2 at a TRUE, but the event structure needs an event before the loop can complete. But the front panel has been closed already and you are stuck.
As Dennis said, get rid of the Stop 2 and just wire the TRUE constant straight out of the event case. Wire a FALSE for all of the other event cases.

Visa Open and Close on every iteration of loop

I have noticed that when you open the front panel of the Instrument I/O Assistant, the diagram starts with a visa session open, sets timeout property, writes, reads, parses data and ends with a visa session closed. If I were to place this into a while loop the visa session would open and close on each iteration of the loop.
Is it common practice to open and close the visa session on each iteration?

No you would not want to open and close that often. If you want to use the Instrument I/O assistant what I would do is configure it the way you want and then save it under another name so you can open the block diagram. Pull the VISA open and close outside of your loop.

Accordion-Toggle Open and Close

I apologize if this has been covered before, but I checked
and couldn't find a solution. I'd like the accordion to toggle

again. Is there any way that can be achieved?

Trackpad is presenting a bug to open and close windows, mission control, and to move/roll the application (App) up and down.

Totally out of the blue, my trackpad is presenting a "bug". Every time that I try to open and close my mission control, or in the moments that I move / roll up and downs the Applications Screen, my Mac freezes for less than a second.
It never suffered any damage (NEVER!)! I am feeling very frustrated because I have no idea about what could cause such problem.
My MacBook Air is running OS X 10.9.5.
Any help will be very welcome!

Well, it all really depends on the custom program and how it was written. Does it have an ActiveX interface? If it does, than that's the easiest way to go. If you put an automation refnum on the fron panel, you can right click and it and choose Select ActiveX Class>Browse. The browser will list all of the ActiveX type libraries that are registered on your system. If you can find one that refers to your custom program, then you should be able to use it's methods and properties to control. If it does not have an ActiveX interface, then things get much more difficult.

How do I programatically open a LabView Front panel?

I want to use a test stand variable (perhaps a sequence global) to control whether certain VIs open their front panels, and wait for subsequent operator interaction. Can I get there using the API and something like this: "Step_TSInfoProp.TSInfo_StepAdditions.LVStep_ModulePathProp" ?
I tried passing a boolean to the VI and then having it optionally open its own front panel using the VI Server, but I could not see it because it would always be behind the TestStand Window.

Sean, The reason for doing this is that the client wants a "debug level" control of some sort. If set below some value, the VIs just do their thing, take their measurements, report, or whatever and go on their way blindly as what we expect a good test sequence to do. However when this value is set above some level (the threshold may be different for various categories of tests) the VI becomes interactive. This would allow an operator to see a measured value, and possibly tinker with the instrument parameters or the UUT, before continuing on. This might be similar to a single step command, but not necessarily pausing at every step. Inside of the VI I can test the value of the variable (either passed in through the connector pane or via the sequence context) and thus decide whether to be interactive or silent. I can also use the VI server to open my front panel or not. But in doing so, even though I try to make the VI panel frontmost, it is hidden by Teststand. If the VI attribute is "dialog" then it does show up on top of everything else, but unfortunately does so even when I don't tell it to open at all.

IE 11 opens and closes immediatly

Brand new windows 7 pro pc. IE 11 opens and closes immediately. I tried all fixes already posted. If i remove ie 11 from the programs in control panel it disappears. But if i try to re-install from MSFT download ie 10 or ie 11 i receive a message that a
new version is already installed even though no ie shows being installed, If i go back and recheck IE 11 in programs in control panel it re-installs the same IE 11 and has the same error, opens and closes immeditaly. I have also rolled back to system restore,
same error. FYI Chrome is installed and works fine but client needs IE for certain integration with cloud.
thanks

Hi,
I just make a supplement, if you do need to revert IE 11 to a lower edition, you need to uninstall IE 11 in Windows Update history.
Control Panel->View installed updates.
Find IE 11 and uninstall it, after that, restart your computer.

Find open and close smart quotes

Dear scripter,
Here I am trying find whether all the open double smart quotes(") are closed with close double smart quotes("). Here is my small work to find how many open and close quotes.
myopenqu=app.activeDocument.search("^{", false, false, "^{");
myclosequ=app.activeDocument.search("^}", false, false, "^}");
myopenqulength = myopenqu.length;
myclosequlength = myclosequ.length;
if(myopenqulength!=myclosequlength)
alert("Quotes not matched\n"+ myopenqulength +" Open quotes found\n" + myclosequlength +" Close quotes found")
It works well, the script just alert if I have 25 open quotes and 23 close quotes
Quotes not matched
25 Open quotes found
23 close quotes found
Now I want to find the quote set where the 24,25th set close quotes are missing?
Is there any way to find the misisng quotes
Thanks in advance
regards

You'd have to look for unmatched quotes, in this case two cases of two open quotes without an intervening closed quote. This is difficult to script in CS2 because it doesn't have GREP natively and because of footnote problems. In CS3/4 it should be possible. But even then it will work only if you don't have quotes within quotes.

I got the charger flex or pin changed and now the apps dance on the screen, photos open and zoom in, then out, the other apps open and close. I have already restored the device with Itunes and prob is still there. What can be the problem? Any suggestion will be welcome. Thank you

THANKS for your prompt reply Bluetooth is off in my laptop and IPhone.. and in fact the reset is the only thing that can make it back to normal. But for a lil while. I wonder if it is the touch, or the home botton... both things are very expensive to replace, so I wouldn't like to spend $$ and continue having the prob.....
