Open picture files and display in fullscreen slideshow?

I'm hoping for some help as I'm very new to LabView and quite lost....
I have a directory with many picture files (too many to put them all in
a powerpoint slideshow) and i want to open them one by one and display
them full screen with no border around them (not in a picture box, but
as displayed in a powerpoint slideshow). 
I'm trying to use activeX to call the default "Preview" application for
windows, (which is able to run a slideshow when opened manually from
the directory).  In the LabView VI, when the slideshow runs, it
takes over the full screen, as it should, however, the images are not
shown.  The screen says "no preview available".  I've messed
around with it a lot and just can't get it to work. 
Any other application or any other way of displaying the images full
screen would be acceptable, if you know of any.  I've also tried
the adobe acrobat browser 7.0, which has a full screen option, but i
can't seem to get that one to work either.  Attached is a copy of
my code.
Any help or advice would be much appreciated.  Thanx.

The easiest would be to set the window not to have toolbars, scrollbars, etc. and to fill the entire screen and to scale all objects with the windows (these can be found in 2 pages of the File>>VI Properties dialog). If you resize your FP so your picture indicators fills it before doing this then any resizing of the window will resize the indicator as well. You can then use the Zoom property to enlarge the picture. To calculate how much to zoom you can divide the size of the picture by the Application>>Display>>Primary Workspace property.
Another option would be to use property nodes to change the Draw Area Size of the picture to fill the screen and to resize the picture itself using something similar to the method demonstrated here.

  • How to open a file and display the complete file path?

    In my script, I want to create a dialog that prompts the user to define a few variables for the script. One of those variables is the path to a template file. I want it to work the same way that an upload form works. You click the browse button, the dialog appears so that you can browse for the file and then when you click OK or Open, the full path of the file is displayed in the text box next to it. How do I do this with JavaScript? I got this far and it seems to be working, but the wrong text is being displayed in the text box. Plus: How do I properly restrict the file types to PSD. The code doesn't seem to work, despite the fact that there are no errors reported. Initially the Text box is blank, but After I browse for the file, the text box says: "File". Here is the problem area:
    defineVars.STPnl.STBrowse.onClick = function browseST() {
    var stbFile = File.openDialog("Select the Single Mugshot Key Template File", "File Types: *.psd, *.PSD");
    defineVars.STPnl.STPath.text = stbFile;
    Thank you to whoever assists me! :)

    Change this:
    defineVars.STPnl.STPath.text = stbFile;
    To this:
    defineVars.STPnl.STPath.text = stbFile.fullName;
    The reason is that stbFile is a File object, you need to access its properties in order to get the full path.

  • Odd problem when opening a file and displaying it in a gui

    When I load up my program, it displays the contents of the array as JLabels in a frame. Just say the file contained the following characters
    ###$$###
    When executing the program for the first time, the output is correct and will obviously look like this
    ###$$###
    However, when closing the instance of the program and loading it up again, the output will be
    ###$$###
    OOOOOOOO
    Where the O's are those square characters you get. (char) 12312 to be exact. Any idea why? I am using Dr. Java

    Nevermind. I got it fixed. Wasn't closing the frame properly. I apologize.

  • I have an older version of imovie.  After I change the photos using the Ken Burns effect and save them, the next time I open the file and click 'show photo settings' to change the zoom, the picture appears black and I can't change the zoom?

    I have a five year old version of imovie that generally works fine.  However, when I add a photo using the 'Ken Burns' effect then save the movie, the next time I open the file and click 'show photo settings' the picture appears black and I cannot change the zoom.  Any suggestions?

    Have you rendered both iOS 7 and iOS 8 (both of which will work on your iPhone 5) out of the question entirely without trying every possible configuration? The animations can be disabled entirely, if that's the problem. And if the whiter-brighter user interface is the problem, there's reverse-contrast modes that darken everything. You can expose accessibility controls to gain immediate access to these functions to toggle them on and off. I guess my point is you may have decided against upgrading the OS based on an early experience with iOS 7 when Apple has since made changes in later revisions to address some of the usability complaints.
    Now, Apple's instructions for downloading older versions of apps is to do so from the Purchased list, not from the app's product page.
    See here:
    Install the latest compatible version of an app on an earlier version of iOS or OS X - Apple Support
    Let us know how that works for you.

  • How to open a Excel file and display on the custom screen

    Guys, I am new to screen programming. In my first screen (SCREEN #9000) I want to put a field, where I must be able to select a file from my desktop and when I click the DISPLAY button, it should suck all the data from the spread sheet in to an internal table, and should display the next screen  (SCREEN #9001), displaying the data from the internal table along with a button called LOAD. Now when I click the LOAD button after reviewing the data, it must load the data to my custom table in R/3. I know how to load an Excel spreadsheet to R/3 without the custom screens. But my requirement now is to do from custom screens like I mentioned above. Any ideas how to do this? Thanks.

    Hi Dan,
    In my first screen (SCREEN #9000) I want to put a field, where I must be able to select a file from my desktop and when I click the DISPLAY button, it should suck all the data from the spread sheet in to an internal table, and should display the next screen (SCREEN #9001)
    For  this create a MPP program and create a Push button. Write the code for this to open a file like use f4_filename.From here you are able to select a file.
    + displaying the data from the internal table along with a button called LOAD. Now when I click the LOAD button after reviewing the data, it must load the data to my custom table in R/3.+
    With the above you are able to open a file and now you have to load that data into internal table. Select the file from the desktop.
    Totally you have to create 1) Screen 2) Push button( Open File) 3) Load data ( From file) .

  • Photoshop shut down while I drew a picture, now the file is broken and I can´t fix it, photshop won´t open the file and I have tried repearing it with different programs. What should I do?

    Photoshop shut down while I drew a picture, now the file is broken and I can´t fix it, photshop won´t open the file and I have tried repearing it with different programs. What should I do? I spent 6 hours on the pic and I dont even have a screenshot or anything.

    You don't even say what platform you are on, or any other details that may help others assist you.
    If you are on a Mac, try opening your file in GraphicConverter (they have a demo version) if that doesn't open it, nothing will, in my experience.
    I assume you have tried Adobe Illustrator already to recover.
    You may also have a JPEG of your complete file (flattened) in Bridge Cache.
    On the Mac you'd find it in your User ~Library (NOT the Root Library ):
    Users > yourname > Library > Caches > Adobe > Bridge CS6 > Cache > 1024 > jpg(fileID)number Filename.psd.jpg
    The user ~Library is hidden, but you can make it visible for an moment or two.  Ask Apple if you don't know how.

    Gizmo,
    Select one of these files in the Finder, then press Apple-I to open a Getinfo window for it. Use the "Open With..." pull-down menu to choose Preview as the default application, then click the "Apply to All" button.
    If Preview is already set as the default application, try choosing another one, clicking the "Apply to All" button, then re-do the whole thing using Preview.

  • Aperture ate my picture files and they are not recoverable.  The guy at the Genius Bar told me to Trash the App, empty Trash, then go to Purchases and reinstall.  But Purchases says it is "Installed" so it does not let me download it again.  HELP!!!!

    Aperture ate my picture files and they are not recoverable.  The guy at the Genius Bar told me to Trash the App, empty Trash, then go to Purchases and reinstall.  But Purchases says it is "Installed" so it does not let me download it again.  HELP!!!!

    I typed Aperture into Spotlight and sure enough it did show up.
    It looks like it is supposed to be in Apps.
    But it is not there.
    So I clicked on the spotlight Aperture and it opened up the App!!!!
    But I do not know where it is to move it!
    How can I find it?
    While Aperture is running and you are seeing it in the Dock, ctrl-click (or right click) the Dock icon.
    You will see a contextual menu. Click on "Options", then select "Show in Finder".
    And check the "keep in Dock" mark, so you will not lose it from the Dock.

  • How can I make Elements 9 my default to open picture files with?

    After using Elements 12 for a months trial and then uninstalling it, I can no longer find Elements 9 listed when I right click on a picture file and select "open with".  How can I restore it to my list of programs with which I can open the file.  I'm using Windows 8 which list aps and some other programs but not Elements 9.

    When you choose "Open With" migrate to the folder of PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe location and choose .exe to open images with . The photoshopelementseditor.exe is present at location "C:/Program Files (x 86)/Adobe/Photoshop Elements 9/PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe.

  • Upload excel file and display content in sapui5 table

    hi:all
       how to upload  excel files and display its contents in the view of sapui5  table ,then  'create ' these data into the abap database using odataservice.
         Do you have any solutions ? I appreciate for your help.

    Two possible way come to mind.
    1. ADF DI (desktop integration): sorry, don't know enough about it to give a how to :-(
    2. POI (http://poi.apache.org/) : open source project to read and write excel file with java. Using POI you can open the .xsl file, read it's contents and display it as af:table. For this you need to read the xsl into a data structure (this can be a temporary db table or a list of POJOs) and build a data control out of it. This you can drop on a page as table.

  • How do I locate non picture files and location? I'm getting low memory and can't find word,PDF etc

    how do I locate non picture files and location? I'm getting low memory and can't find word,PDF etc

    iPads don't have a filesystem like a computer, Files of that nature must be associated with an App and reside inside that particular App's file space.  So the way to find them is to open the App that opens that file type and look in its file or document list for them.
