Periodically cycle through tab controls

Hi guys so I have a VI where I have 4 different tabs in a tab control where each one of them is monitoring a different machine's temperature. I would like to know if there is any way to automatically have labview cycle through the tabs at maybe 30 second intervals while the VI is running. I have the temperature monitors hooked up to some boolean indicators to let me know when one machine is too hot or too cold, so it would be nice to be able to have labview automatically switch to that tab when any of the boolean indicators go off as well. I'm very new to labview so maybe this is a very simple fix that I just don't know about. Thanks in advance for any help!

hmmm...i would not connect any software timing to the wait ms function, that would freeze the FP controls from doing anything. use the elapsed time function to free up your while loop

After Panorama is activated, PDF viewers stop rendering properly when cycling through tabs

Hi, anyone else having this issue with PDF viewer plug-ins?
1. Start a fresh session of Firefox
2. Navigate to ANY .pdf document
3. Open a new blank tab
4. Cycle between the tabs (Ctrl+Tab); everything should behave normally at this point
5. Activate Panorama (Ctrl+E), select any tab
6. Cycle between the tabs (Ctrl+Tab); the PDF document no longer renders properly, until I interact with the document (e.g. select text, or scroll). Even then, parts of the plug-in's toolbar will remain un-rendered.
Work-around: Restart Firefox and stay away from Panorama.
I'm experiencing this on 2 machines: Windows 7 + Adobe Reader, and Windows XP + PDF-XChange Viewer

Greetings NoNameGiven,
If I understand the problem correctly (I’m not sure I do) you would prefer ‘iii’ to be read as “eye eye eye” rather than “three”? The alt text property is the only way that I know of to make this happen. Hope this helps.

How to change keyboard shortcut for cycle through open tabs in PS and AI CC 2014

I would love to set my own keyboard shortcuts for cycling through open tabs in PS and AI 2014 on OS X. I found out that this can be achieved with ctrl+tab in PS, but I couldn't manage to make any of the suggestions in the forum work for AI. As said, I would like to set a more "standard" shortcut like alt+cmd+arrow-keys for both of the apps. If that shouldn't be possible, does anyone know a shortcut in AI CC 2014?
Many thanks!
Amadeus

Thanks! The shortcut can be set like this in AI, although all key combinations I would want to use are not allowed. Too bad. But anyways, thank you very much for the tip!
cmd+~ is not an option for me, I guess, since the swiss/german keyboard layout has no dedicated tilde key.
So, I have a working shortcut in PS (ctrl+tab / of which I still don't know how to change, if possible at all) and thanks to you, I can now set one in AI as well. Unfortunately, I can not set it to be identical as in PS, since the "cmd" key needs to be included in AI's shortcut assignment dialogue, but I guess, this is as good as it gets.

Cant Use Page Controls to Cycle Through Records in Report with Table

Hi
I have built a tabular report in answers that returns a 1000 rows. I have set the number of rows to be displayed to 100. However, when I run the report i cant use the page controls to cycle to the next 100 records.
When I edit the table with the compound layout view I can cycle through the records fine, but when I save it and run normally I cant use the page controls.
Page controls works on other reports in the subject area but these are pivot tables not normal tables.
Can someone help diagnose the issue?
I'm using OBIEE 10g btw
Thanks
James

Hi,
If you have set DefaultRowsDisplayed as 100 in instaceconfig.xml file, then this would effect only the table view, not Pivot table. By default, Pivot would display all the records without pagination.
Thanks

How to upload tab-control data through LSMW.....

Hi,
I have to upload the data using the LSMW ....in their i have tab-control...how i have to upload the data of tab-control through LSMW....
Reply me early..if u have any idea...
Phani

Hi Phani,
LSMW will have a Indicator for headr and itam, i do not remember the correct field, but it will have an indicator, check the fields, there will be a single charecter lenght field, that should be the indicator, and using that we can write the logic.
check that single charecter field, it that is X that means the header record is processed, and do the items.
and, this is another way, try this out also
YOu can do this in "Define Source Structures" step,
the HEADER is defined first,
then the DETAIL below the HEADER.
add the fields to the structures.
Both should have some common key field
Please take care that the name of the common field is the same.
Once you do this it is linked. The you have a header and item corresponding to that header. then run the LSMW as you would.
let me know if any issues.
Thanks

Using command tab for application switcher no long cycles through all apps

Using command tab for application switcher use to work as it always has before Lion, and did in Lion for a few days. Now it stops at the last app. It always use to keep cycling through through all the apps. I figure I did something, but cannot figure out what. I have tried old tricks like force quitting dock using Activity Monitor, but that didnt work. Tried restarting, repairing permissions, and a new user account. I will great appreciate anyones help with this.
Thanks,
Mark C.

I was going to post my experience about application switcher as well, but i have the opposite problem: in SL it never worked, but now in Lion it does. Since I upgraded by installing over Lion, I'm assuming there must be a setting somewhere for this behavior. There is a place for setting keyboard keystrokes, looking there may help.

Issues with AUTO cycling through ....

I'm trying to do this:
Any help with one or the other is very much appriciated !!!
1) When the Timer is finish auto cycling through the tabs (1 to 16) of the ViewStack, and switching over to tab (1) to STOP, I would like to address a function to do something ???
The question is now how to write the code to ID that the Timer has come to a STOP on tab (1), and how can I incoperate this into the existing (onTimerOne) function.
2) The second item I'm after is that if I'm amnualy select any tab (1 to 16) to address also a function to do something ???
3) The third item I'm after is to automaticly zero (0) the ViewStack to tab number (1) if I click a Btn.
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
    import flash.events.TimerEvent;
    import flash.utils.Timer;
    private var timerOne:Timer;
    private function initOne():void {
        timerOne = new Timer(5000, myViewStack.numChildren);
        timerOne.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, onTimerOne);
    private function onTimerOne(evt:TimerEvent):void {
        if(myViewStack.selectedIndex == myViewStack.numChildren-1) {
        myViewStack.selectedIndex = 0;
        return;
        myViewStack.selectedIndex++;
    private function autoOne():void {
        if (!timerOne.running) {
        timerOne.start();
    private function manualOne():void {
        if (timerOne.running) {
        timerOne.stop();
]]>
</mx:Script>
4) Well, the fourth item I'm trying to work out is as I'm reading my data from an Xml file to have a TextArea which shows the different countries from the Xml file for each ViewStack tab while auto cycling through these tabs (1 to 16).
The diffuculty here is that I use this Xml with a specific urlID="1" to urlId="16" as part shown below.
<urlsOceania>
    <urlOceania urlID="1"/>
    <searchCountry>American Samoa</searchCountry>
    <etc></etc>
</urlsOceania>
I'm reading all the other items this way:
source="{urlsOceania.urlOceania.(@urID==1).etc}"
Thanks in advance aktell2007

Thanks for the confirmation. 7 miles away is most likely using the same VZW tower but it does confirm the problem is not in your current location for us.
You can look up local tower locations from many public websites such as the following:
www.antennasearch.com
www.cellreception.com
http://www.evdoinfo.com/content/view/2990/63/
The signal of -65 shows you have strong reception but it doesnt show the entire picture. Your tower could be overloaded or unauthenticating you. There are lots of little issues that exist outside of the raw signal strength between the towers and the connecting devices that we users have no control over. As you may guess only a tower tech has access to identify and correct these things.
Based on the picture of the back of the MBR1515/Netgear N300 router from Netgear I would assume that only a normal sized SIM card will fit. I would not assume a micro SIM card will fit. Since I do not have access to either of the VZW or non-VZW 4G LTE router I cannot confirm if it will work or not. You might have to give Netgear a call and ask. Based on what I can see from the User Guides of both devices the SIMs used for each should be compatible with eachother.
If you decide to purchase the non vzw version please post back your findings for us.

How do I change the keyboard shortcut for Cycle through open documents in PS CC for Mac?

Sorry to bug the community with such a seemingly inconsequential task, but I am seriously tired of using the awkward default keyboard shortcut for cycling through open docs in PS. I'd like to change it to what I am used in in Chrome, which is Cmd+Option+[left] or {right} arrow keys. I noticed this is not a command listed in the in keyboard shortcuts, for whatever reason. Where on Earth can I change this?
If it is not possible to do it by default, is there a plug-in or a change to the code that will allow this basic functionality?
Thanks again guys and gals!

As far as I know, you can't. It's "hard wired" in. Not even Edit > Keyboard Shortcuts is allowed to change it.
However I did find this tip:
Anyway i never found tabs in Adobe application useful, instead i prefer the old school method: simply switch off tabs feature via illustrator/ preferences/ user interface/ open documents as tabs. Then in Mac preferences panel, under keyboard, just search for the “focus on next application window” field (under menu, keyboard and text) and assign a shortcut if the default option doesn't fit you. And there is now you can easily switch between open documents!.
The best part of this is that it can be used in all mac applications, not only Adobe ones. And remember, if you want this working on Indesign, Photoshop, etc be aware of first switch off the tab features so that the system could “see” multiple documents opened not only one single tabbed document.

Cycle Through Applications

Is it possible to cycle through the remote computers applications> (some special key command perhaps) as whenever I do CMD TAB at my end it cycles through my computers applications, not the remote computers applications.

Programmatically Cycle through Boolean Array

I'm using an Agilent 34970 with a 34901A switch module. It has 16 switches going to two commons. The end function is to switch through all the sources to read resistance and voltage.
The driver and sample vi from the NI idnet were used as a base for my vi.
The sample vi uses a user-controlled 2-d boolean array (false = open). I want to be able to programmatically cycle through all the switches, but I don't know how to tell the dimensions of array I have.
I would like to go through every element of the 2nd raw for each element in the 1st row. If I could programmatically ignore elements #9, 10, 19, and 20, that would be helpful too.
Thanks for any help!

Is there a way to determine what's in the vi front panel right now? I cannot determine if it's 2x10 or 10x2... There are no properties of the 2-d array that plainly tell me.
There is "array size" which tells you the actual size of the 2D array.
There are properties that tell you how many rows and columns are visible in the front panel array container.
There are also properties that tell which element is currently scrolled to the top left corner.
The size and index position of the front panel array control or indicator is not related to the actual array size. You can show only 2x2 elements of a 1000x1000 array or vice versa. if the container is too big, the extra elements are greyed.

"Tab" control and Tab order of controls inside the tab

Hello everybody,
I have created the tab control with 6 'tabs', inside every tab I have some controls, like edit fields etc. I wanted to make an order of controls for every tab, so I have selected the option "Tab-order settings" from menu "Edit" (sorry for translation, I use non-English version of LabView), and tried to set the order. After saving it with "OK" button it turned out that the order is not changed. Simple it seems that the option doesn't work for controls in tabs. Is this a bug or do you have a solution for this?
TIA,
Yazilim.

Sorry LabviewGuru, but I haven't found anything concerning Tab control and tab order inside it. Of course, I have found the topic "tabbing through front panel objects", but it simply describes how to change order for standard controls, not for controls which are inside the Tab control. But maybe you have another, extended help? So can you please copy and paste to discussion forum message this part of your help which concerns the Tab control and tab order, and then send the message?
TIA,
Yazilim.

Bookmarks bar and tab controls not working in mobile Safari on iPad2

The bookmarks bar as well as tab controls in Mobile Safari on iPad 2 are not clickable. Only the topmost nav buttons work. This persists through reboots w/Safari closed via mem manager, and a system restore. What do?

closing Safari via the taskbar
or having done a reset (unless that is what you mean by a reboot)
"This persists through reboots w/Safari closed via mem manager"
That is obviously exactly what I meant. How does one reboot an iPad without "resetting" it? How does one do a system restore without "resetting" it?

Revision: How to make tab control stop on a specific page upon pressing Pause?

I have a scrolling tab which scrolls through the tab pages until the user presses Pause. That works. Now I want the tab control to stop on a specific page once the user presses Pause. How to do this?

Well, hopefully I can give a simpler explanation of my project. There is a tab control (right now of 3 pages). I have written code which flips (scrolls) through the pages, one page per second approx. There is also a Pause button. When the user presses it, the scrolling of pages stops and whatever page is shown at the time of Pausing is the page that is viewable. So that could be page 1, 2, or 3 given when the Pause button was pressed.
But now, I would like to implement the feature that when the Pause button is pressed the tab control, through coding, has no choice but to show Page 1 (for example) or whichever page I restrict it to.
Actually I think I've got a idea now after typing this out, but your suggestions are very welcome!
I've attached screenshots of my code to this reply. The first two show Case States in my code (scrolling, not scrolling) and the 3rd isof the Front Panel and the tab panel itself.
