Passing array of values from front panel to menu

I am working with a group programming a multichannel current stimulation device and we are currently having trouble setting up the run time menu. The burning question that we have is trying to figure out how to pass an array of values from the front panel to the menu that we are setting up in the block diagram, any advice?
Thank you

Take a look at this. Its just a simple menu update using a for loop. Uses whatever your values are as the item tag and item names. Remember, item tags need to be unique. This specifically goes under the sub menu of channel, which has to be created before.

Getting Type Mismatch Error while passing Array of Interfaces from C#(VSTO) to VBA through IDispatch interface

Hi,
I am facing issues like Type Mismatch while passing Array of interfaces from .NET to VBA and vice versa using VSTO technology.
My requirement is that ComInterfaceType needs to be InterfaceIsIDispatch.
My Interface definition is somewhat like this
    [ComVisible(true)]
    [InterfaceType(ComInterfaceType.InterfaceIsIDispatch)]
    [Guid("AAF48FBC-52B6-4179-A8D2-944D7FBF264E")]
    public interface IInterface1
        [DispId(0)]
        IInterface2[] GetObj();
        [DispId(1)]
        void SetObj(ref IInterface2[] obj);
    [ComVisible(true)]
    [InterfaceType(ComInterfaceType.InterfaceIsIDispatch)]
    [Guid("CDC06E1D-FE8C-477E-97F1-604B73EF868F")]
    public interface IInterface2
IF i am passing array of above interface (created in C#.Net) to VBA using GetObj API,i am getting type mismatch error in VBA while assigning the value to variable in VBA.Even assigning to variant type variable gives TypeMismatch.
Also while passing Array of interfaces from VBA using SetObj API,excel crashes and sometimes it says method doesn't exists.
Kindly provide some assistance regarding the same.
Thanks

Chnaging input in a waveform graph from front panel in labview

Hi !
I am working with temperature sensors; I have several sensors to read simultaneously.
I want to plot information from different sensors in different plots and have the option to change/select the sensors in the a graph from front panel. For example, I have 8 sensors(please see the attachments_ front panel), A,B,C,D,E,F,G and M. Some time it could be possible that user want A,B,C in Tumor Graph or sometimes only A and B. That means the identity and the number of sensors could be changed in different times.
Now I connect only two sensors per graph (ref: block diagram) but the number and the sensors to be plotted in a certain graph can be changed, so How can I implement it ?
Any help or idea will be appreciated.
Best Regards,

Hi hasanma,
Well, you could expend the build array and add more inputs to it as shown below:
And individually select which sensor data the user wants to view as shown below:

Passing multiple character values from parameter form to PL/SQL

Hi,
I am passing multiple character values from parametr form into
the report query and a PL/SQL procedure. It works fine with the
query, when I use &variable. But, it doesn't compile in PL/SQL,
so I just used the :variable, but not getting any records in the
PL/SQL procedure. Any suggestions?
sincerely,
gj

gj / Fedro,
Only using the &referecne, you can pas a string / multiple character values and this would work for query only.
The bind parameter in PL/SQL wouls support only single value

Is it possible to pass a formula value from a sub-report to a main report

Hi there,
Im trying to pass a formula value from a Sub-report back upto into my Main report but the value doesnt seem to be getting passed up. Ive tried it the other way around, that is, passing a value from the main report to the sub-report and that works fine.
Below is an example of what I am trying to do but it is not working. In my sub-report Ive declared a formula variable as,
formula name=main_subIntRatePageCount
Shared NumberVar subIntRatePageCount := TotalPageCount;
and in the Main report Ive declared the formula variable as,
formula name=subIntRatePageCount
Shared NumberVar subIntRatePageCount;
subIntRatePageCount;
I want the value assigned to "subIntRatePageCount" in my Sub-Report to be available to my Main report.
The problem I am trying to solve is that the sub-report is spilling over onto two pages, and I need a way of updating the page display on the main report to reflect this. The page display is of format, "displaying page 1 of 3", but its not taking into account the extra page produced by the sub-report, so it should say "displaying page 1 of 4".

Also thanks Raghavendra, Asha,
I've tried adding the "whileprintingrecords" statement but that doesnt seem to make any difference.
I notice that the subReport is being called from my the GroupFooter section of the main report, and I am trying to reference the variable in the main repot in the Page Footer section. Could it be that the variable hasnt been calculated in the Page Footer by the time I calculate it in sub-Report? I thought Crystal Reports does at least 5 passes over the report evaluating all the formulas before it prints the report?
The problem Im trying to solve is I need to know how many pages my report will have before its completed, so that i can print the statement "displaying page 1 of X", and X is currently not being calculated correctly because the sub-report is printing onto 2 pages and not 1 so the report thinks I have 1 of X pages and not X+1.
Regards
Robert.

It sounds like the battery might have gone bad, and is swelling and causing the symptoms you describe. Do not attempt to use the phone, but take it to Apple for evaluation.

Best Way to Create Array of Values From ArrayCollection

I often use Arrays of values from ArrayCollections in my
application in order to facilitate faster performance when
filtering other Collections.
For instance, let's say I have an ArrayCollection of Objects
with the properties "id", "name", "label", and "isActive". What
would be the best way to get an Array of all the "id" values?
Right now, I am looping over the ArrayCollection, and adding
the value of the property I need to an Array using Array.push().
For larger Collections, this seems like overkill. I was wondering
if anyone knew of some quicker way to get an Array of values of one
property from an Array Collection.
My current method for doing this is attached below...
Thanks.

No, that won't work - toArray() simply returns the entire
Collection as an Array.

Midi in from front panel stopped working (x-fi platinum)

8midi in from front panel stopped working (x-fi platinum)" Not sure if I burned the connector or if something is wrong with the driver. My midikeyboard can't be used with sb x-fi platinum anymore.
I borrowed terratec soundcard from big brother a while and used my midikeybaord in with that and output with x-fi card. but now he's taken the terratec back.
and I'd like to really know what's wrong witht he midi in.
Does anyone know what might be the problem?
I have connected normal midi cable -> normalmidi to tiny x-fi port convertor -> front panel
This used to work a bunch of months ago.
i'm using winxp latest updates. i'm trying out reaper. I've got asio4all installed but i usually use directsound when I'm composing music.
tahnks for any help

i have the exact same problem with vista!!!no sound from the front panel of x-fi platinum!i don't know what to do!

Passing global variable values from databse to forms

I am using forms 6i and database is oracle 9i.
I am trying to run a form stand alone ( by pressing CTRL-R) without putting it in the application.
since when this form is placed in the application menu it works fine as it has been passed global variables values from the database .
now i am trying to run the form without menu and thus i want to pass the values of global variables .please let me know where should i pass these values in form .is it be WHEN-NEW-FORM-Instance trigger or in Pre-form trigger.
i know what are the global variable values passing into the form from database.
i can hard code any values to check if the form runs well or not.

If you intend to do this sort of testing regularly you might want to consider creating a seperate form with a control block which allows entry of the name of the form you want to run, the names of the globals and their values, and do a CALL_FORM.

Strategy for array of tests on front panel

I'm building a test program that has a lot of tests. The basic strategy
that I'm trying is to have an array of tests on the front panel which would
have an on/off button, result, spec, and pass/fail indicator showing. The
array would also have all other information needed for that test hidden.
This array gets indexed into a for loop that does all the tests. So the
elements of the array are used in a lot of sub-vi's. The problem is how do
I handle changes to the format of the element during the programming
process? I keep finding things I need to add to the element that I didnt
think of before. When I first started the project my idea was to make a
custom variable of that element so that when I made a change
it would update
all at once. The problem with that is the array in the main vi loses the
information it's storing when its elements update from the custom control.
Then I'd have to retype everything back in. So I quit using a custom
control and now when I make a change to the format of the element I need to
copy the array/element onto all subvi's that use it. Comments?

Isn't humorous how simple projects can turn into monsters? I will suggest an answer to the question/problem of "loosing information stored upon updating your elements in the array".
As long as you are in development mode, you may find it helpful to spend a few minutes and build a VI (Write/Read to/from files VIs) that records the information/data for quick uploading after you update your code. Another option (if you only need the last set of values) is setting the last values to Default (use property nodes). I don't believe shift registers will fully handle your situation. Just some ideas to jog you along - Good Luck - Doug

Display a particular array element on the front panel

Hello,
I was wondering if it's possible to change which element of an array control is displayed on the front panel from within the program.
Here's why I want to do it: I have an array of clusters, each of which contains a set of controls. The controls in each cluster specify a bunch of different parameters for a few different instruments that are being controlled by Labview. The user changes all the values on the front panel before the program starts, then the program steps through the array elements one by one. I'd like to be able to change the array's display so that the user can know which set of parameters is active (and thus what is currently in force) while the program is going -- otherwise the element that is displayed is just wherever the user left it last.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Passing null/empty values from Flex to a Coldfusion ORM object

This is the situation.
If you have an actionscript VO that binds to a Coldfusion ORM object via the RemoteClass metadata and some of the values are not set, null, or empty strings and you pass it from Flex to Coldfusion then the Coldfusion deserialization barfs saying the values are not acceptable date values (for type="date") or valid emails (for validation="email") or other such validations, even if required="false" on the property.
For instance, if you have the following actionscript VO:
package vo
    [RemoteClass(alias="com.companyname.Person")]
    [Bindable]
    public class Person
        public var person_id:Number;
        public var last_name:String;
        public var first_name:String;
        public var email:String;
        public var created_date:date;
     public function Person() {}
And you have the corresponding Coldfusion component:
<cfcomponent displayname="person" output="false"
    alias="com.companyname.Person"
    schema="dbo" persistent="true"
    table="PERSON">
    <cfproperty name="person_id" type="numeric" fieldtype="id" validate="integer" required="true" column="PERSON_ID"/>
    <cfproperty name="last_name" type="string" column="LAST_NAME" required="true"/>
    <cfproperty name="first_name" type="string" required="true" column="FIRST_NAME"/>
    <cfproperty name="email" type="string" validate="email" required="false" column="EMAIL"/>
    <cfproperty name="date_created" type="date" required="false" column="DATE_CREATED"/>
</cfcomponent>
Then if you pass the actionscript VO as is to Coldfusion, the deserialization complains that you do not have a valid email or a valid date for date_created. This is bad, bad, bad. Essentially if you have a validation of certain types (email being one) or a date property, or probably some other cases, then you essentially can not make it not required, it automatically makes it required because the Coldfusion serializer considers null/empty values as invalid dates or emails. But the serializer should not care for values that are not required, there has to be a way to pass null/empty values to these data types, but apparently there's not. If you pass an empty string ("") you still have the same problem. I know Coldfusion does not have null values, but there has to be a way to do this, otherwise it defeats the purpose of having required="false" and some kind of validation on the property.
There seems to be two ways around it. One is to override the implicit setters for the properties on the Coldfusion side and check for 0 length values yourself, then set the property if it is not, or create your own validation routine. I ended up creating my own validation function since I didn't want to have to write a setter function for everyone of these cases and I can pass back user friendly validation messages.
Have other people encountered this problem? How have you gotten around it? Thanks.

Looks like a known workaround to this issue is to wrap the Flex object in an array.
The ColdFusion CFC will accept that as an array, with the first an only element being a struct, which is the object you built in Flex.

Dynamic cluster/array follow up question - front panel

Thanks for the responses to my last question - they were great and fast!
I'm still stumped on how to create the front panel. It doesn't really matter whether it is an array or cluster. It sounds like either way, once I have it I can autoindex through it. The basic application here is that I have a VI that will store one XY plot to our database. I'd like to wrap that in a VI that will take N XY plots and store them all in our database regardless of what N actually is. So in terms of creating the front panel, I tried to create an array control and drop a XY graph in it, but it doesn't seem to like that. It said that I hadn't added an element to the array. I also tried to drop a XY graph into a cluster control and that cleared the broken run arrow, but wouldn't I have to know how many XY graphs are being passed in? It seems like I'd have to put one graph in the cluster control for each graph coming which defeats my purpose? Remember I won't know how many XY graphs are coming into my VI in the array or cluster. Anybody know how I can set up the front panel?
Again thanks for the quick replies!!!
Best Regards,
Steve

Look at the attached VI.
It has a single XY graph inside a cluster container, and that is inside an array container.
With this setup, it wouldn't matter how many graphs you pass to the subVI since it's an array, it will take whatever is passed to it.

Using the Abort button to stop your VI is like using a tree to stop your car. It works, but there may be consequences.

How to pass array into xslt from java

i have a xslt in which i am passing some parameter from java there is one parameter which is a array in java which i need to pass becouse array length is not defined so that xslt will work dynakically according to the parameter.
right now i am passing parameter but not able to send the array parameter that's why my code is not fully dynamic
please give suggestion.
anagh

it is not possible to pass array by using XSLT, you can wirite all values into a String with certain delim symbol, pass this string, then use xsl.substring() to get different values.

Pass array of value to Oracle Java Beans (for forms)

Hi,
How I can pass a array value from oracle Form to Java bean.
With regards
Satheesh Kumar

Hi,
Thanks for your immediate response.
I have one more doubt. I am trying to create a Hirachical tree for form using Jtree. For dynmically populating tree data I want to pass array records from oracle forms.
In my understanding, Java importer array will work if we do importing the java beans component to oracle forms, otherwise no.
Is it possible I can pass array variable with out importing my javacomponent.
