Panel Object xy coordinates and Multiple window list in task bar

Two questions...
I recently had to rearange panel objects to programatically display them. They were not at the origin, and had to futz them into
position.
Is the first object placed, placed at the origin?
Could the guys at NI provide an xy indicator?
And second,
I built my application, but in the task bar there is a listing for the app, then another listing for the window name. How can I
clean this up?

Martin,
As far as question 1:
There are 2 different �origins� when speaking about the front panel. There is the 0,0 position that is global to all controls and indicators on it. This origin is a location that does not change. In LabVIEW 7.0 if you have the grids turned on you can see this location as a slightly darker line on the grid and a gray dot. You can reference a controls relative position to this origin by using the "Position" Properties.
There is then the �Origin� property of a front panel. This origin refers to what part of the front panel is viewable. The �Origin� in this sense is what location, referenced to the first position, is at the top left corner of the front panel screen.
Take a look at the attached screen shot.
So if you a
re programmatically moving objects around you need to be aware of both. If you move the scrollbars of the front panel, the �origin� changes. However the positions of all the objects do not.
If you have any questions about this description let me know. The difference between the 2 origins is subtle.

  • My speaker doesn't work when I try to listen to music or open up a quick time file, however they seem to work perfectly when I listen to a voice memo (p.s. the volume slider disappears in a song page and even in the multi tasking bar)

    Thanks for your solution, it wasn't quite what solved the problem but i remembered that i had a bit of salt water on my phone recently and spraying the charging port with an anti-oxide spray solved my problem, do you mind if i ask, how is the charging port related with the volume or/and speakers?

  • One Horizontal Toolbar Canvas and Multiple Windows

    I have a form with multiple windows and canvases. All our forms have ONE horizontal toolbar canvas. We like to display this horizontal toolbar canvas on every window. Is there way to do this? We get FRM-30162, when we assign the horizontal toolbar canvas to any window other than the primary window of the horizontal toolbar canvas.
    Happy New Year!
    Thanks

    Hi,
    we handled that with the following:
    1.- create a DUMMY window with the following properties
    title: null
    Primary Canvas: null
    Horizontal toolbar canvas: null
    2.- On the Toolbar canvas properties:
    Window : DUMMY
    3.- On Form properties:
    form Horizontal toolbar canvas : "your toolbar canvas"
    This sets the toolbar on top and indepedent of your windows.
    Happy new year!!!

  • Beryl and "Show window list" icon problem

    If I enable "Show window list" in application switcher I get some sort of minimized application after switching between apps.
    I'm using XFCE and I made my minimized windows go on my desktop and using this application switcher means I get an icon labeld "??" when I try to switch applications. If I try and close it or do anything with it - Beryl crashes.
    The same thing happened when I used rox with the pinboard option.
    Did anyone encounter this? and If so how do I get rid of it?!
    Thank you,

  • Firefox window is not shown and not even in the tasks bar, but there is a process running in the task manager

    Clicked on the Firefox icon , but window did not appeared, checked in the Task manager, there is a process running with firefox.exe, and could not see any icon in the task bar adjacent to start button

    I discovered that when the "Firefox is already running . . . ." message pops up I can fix it by doing the following [note: I get the same message for the Thunderbird e-mail program too] : 1. I open 'TASK MANAGER" and click on the "Processes" tab. 2. Next I scroll down until I see Firefox.exe *32 in the leftmost column (or Thunderbird. exe *32 if the message came up there), highlight that line by clicking on it and then click on the "end process" button on the right side on the bottom. 4. A pop-up window will come up but ignore its message and click on the "end process" button in the pop-up window. The program should then start the next time you click on the icon..
    While that saves the need to restart your PC to fix the problem, I have yet to find any information as to the reasons for those two processes to show up in the first place. I'm running the 64 bit Win 7 Professional and do not know if that has something to do with those two processes running from time to time or not. The message comes up often but not all the time and I haven't been able to pinpoint any action on my part where the message comes up if I do '''X '''or the message never comes up when I do '''Y''' before closing Firefox or Thunderbird.

  • One button for Firefox window on the Task Bar instead of many

    I want to see just one button in the Task bar of my computer for Firefox window and not multiple, each window for each open tab. How can I do that?

    There is a setting for whether to inform Windows about each individual tab or only the active tab in each separate window. Here's where you can check and adjust that:
    "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options > Tabs panel
    It's the last item: "Show tab previews in the Windows taskbar". If that is checked, you get ALL tabs in ALL windows on the Taskbar, and if it's unchecked, you only get the active tab in each window.
    Is that what you're looking for?

    Only JFrames in the taskbar. If you are using 1.4, you can use a JFrame and use setUndecorated(). It looks a lot like a JWindow.

  • Wanted Main window only on Task bar ...Need help as soon as possible

    Hello All,
    We are creating one application.
    We have main window(JFrame) with four subwindows.
    By clicking buttons on main window the subwindows will be opened.
    By using Iconified method we are able to minimise all the subwindows when main window is minimised.
    But on the task bar all the windows are showed.
    But we want to show main window only on the task bar while minimising
    That means all the sub windows should come under main window.
    Will Deiconified satifies this condition while maximisation.
    Need some ones help.
    Thank You All.
    Rajiv.V

    Use show() and hide() on your subwindows instead of iconifying and deiconifying them. Minimizing a window should produce exactly the behavior you're seeing. Using the right tool will get you the right result.

  • How do I get IE 11 to open in the same window on the task bar?

    How do I get IE 11 to open in the same spot on my task bar.  i.e. IE 11 is on my task bar. When I open it, it opens in a new place on the end of the task bar.  Microsoft Outlook, Windows Explorer, Quicken, Adobe, etc,, all on the task bar open
    right at there location on the task bar; not in a new place at the end of the task bar.
    How do I get IE 11, Windows 7, 64 bit to open at the same place as the IE icon???
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Seems a strange issue, How about un-pin IE from the taskbar, then re-pin it to the taskbar for a test?
    If doesn't work, I suggest you turn off IE 11 in "Turn Windows Features on or off", reboot PC, then re-turn on, check the result again.

  • Windows 7. Task Bar

    I have my Task Bar set to Auto Hide.
    When I run iTunes it makes the Task Bar always visible. After iTunes is closed the Task Bar is still always visible.
    I can set the properties of the Task Bar to Auto Hide until I am blue in the face and it won't change.
    The only way to fix the problem seems to reboot. Anyone have any ideas. It annoys me!

    Additional observation:  The Taskbar disappears when the computer goes to sleep or hibernates.  Upon waking it , the desktop reappears minus the Taskbar.  No known methods to reinstate theTaskbar seems to work.  As a workaround, I have lengthened the time  before the computer turns off the display or goes to sleep to avoid the inadvertent loss of the Taskbar.   
    Is this a power management issue?  Or is something causing the Taskbar to move to the background behind the screen wallpaper?  Suggestions please.

  • Cross platform upgrade question between Photoshop CS5/CS6 and multiple Windows/Mac computers

    Hello,
    I'm currently using a Windows laptop and PC running Photoshop CS5 from a Student license I got in college. I am considering moving to an Apple laptop so I was looking at the cross platform update question on the forum that led me here: Order product | Platform, language swap
    It's not really clear if I will be eligible for the upgrade, and Adobe support chat sent me to the forum, and that page sends me back to where I started to see if I am eligible. I would prefer to purchase the upgrade outright, rather than pay for the new monthly subscription model.
    If I am eligible for a swap/upgrade to Apple CS6, will I still be able to use CS5 on my Windows PC?
    Thanks.

    I don't have a definitive answer, but I have a feeling that a student teacher version is not eligible for an upgrade discount.  You own the CS5 perpetual license, and can install it on two computers at the same time as CS6, CC etc.  That will be the case in perpetuity.  (not sure why I didn't just type 'forever' back there, or alert the cliche police 'Going forward')
    Photoshop CS6 Extended will cost you just shy of US$1600 according to this Amazon page  The non extended version does not give you the 3D tools, and Photoshop CC comes as the full extended version as standard.  If you got the Photoshop / Lightroom Photography plan at a mere $10 a month, the price of CS6 would keep you subscribed for > three years.  Photoshop CC has a lot of wonderful features CS6 does not have, and will never have, and CC will be be constantly updated 'in perpetuity'. ;-)  $10 a month!  Heck, what's not to like about that?!!!

  • Insert record behavior and multiple dynamic lists

    I have a complex form that contains an insert record
    behavior. Some of the fields are dynamic lists. My database has a
    table to hold the static fields from the form and a number of
    tables to hold the results from each dynamic list. I have the first
    form and another form for review purposes. On the review form I am
    getting an "Invalid argument supplied for foreach()" for each table
    I try to insert the dynamic list results into. My investigation
    leads me to believe that the arrays from the first form are being
    subsumed by the actual insert action and that when my review form
    is called, the arrays ($_POST) are no longer there. How do I ensure
    that the arrays being set in part 1 of the Insert record behavior
    will still be around for the review form? Any time I try to insert
    code into the actual insert code, Dreamweaver duplicates the
    behavior and tells me it can't decide which one to use.

    So it appears that I'm not the only person with this problem.  One of the solutions I found was to use a Server.Transfer     Server.Transfer("thank_you.asp")
    instead of a Redirect.
    This works however, now my form validation is broken.

  • Randomly, my screen freezes and multiplies windows, necessitating a restart - is it a virus ? (!)

    Doesn't do it that often, but annoying when it does.

    Try resetting the  PRAM and perhaps running Disk Utility to see if you have a hardware problem.
    Disk Utility
       1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
       2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
          Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
       3. Click the First Aid tab.
       4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
       5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
       6. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk.

  • PSE 8 Organize minimizes and stays minimized on the task bar

    When I launch PSE 8 and then click Organize, it goes right to the taks bar and stays there.  The only thing I can do is close it.  I've uninstalled and reinstalled PSE8 twice.  I didn't help.  It worked out of the box but now it doesn't.  Edit works fine.  Any suggestions?  I can't really use the product now.

    Forgot to mention I'm running Windows 7.
