Ping tbd : "feature" related to FP.Open and compiled apps

tbd,
In another thread you stated:
To programmatically pop-up the FP of a VI, set its FP.Open property to True.  This can be done anywhere in the application, as long as the VI's reference is available (sounds like an application for a Global  ).  There's a "feature" related to FP.Open and compiled apps - do you plan to compile this?
Would you (or anyone) care to elaborate on this subject a bit.  I am doing just this sort of thing and am interested in all insights and caveats.
Thanks

Hi BadToad,
      If the compiler doesn't think an FP is needed, based on a VI's appearance properties, it will exclude the VI's FP during compile - and FP.Open won't work for the VI.  The attached pic shows this compiler setting in 7.1 and 8.2.  If the VI is top-level, or one of its appearance-properties indicate the FP is to be shown, these will default to UNselected for remove, otherwise you'll need to deselect these for Open FP to work.
Cheers! 
BTW - great user-name.

  • IPad mini randomly opens and closes apps, changes pages on book readers

    My iPad mini has gone crazy, it randomly opens and closes apps, plays games itself, changes pages whilst reading a book, starts flashing. Tried everything, rebooted the device, updated it always with the latest software update and have reset the iPad as a new IPad with no success. The problem still occurs which is really enjoying. I checked on the Internet and I'm not the only one with an iPad mini with this problem. The iPad is older than one year, what are my chances of resolving this and how?

    I have this problem with my PDFs too. I'm using a lot of PDFs from the German RPG "The Dark Eye" (Das schwarze Auge) from their the PDF shop "ulisses ebooks".
    However, i recognized that I don't get this random black boxes after a restart of the iPad Air for a long time. But when it starts it's become very frequently.
    To remove the black boxes for a single page i can close the book and reopen it or just mark text from the corrupted page. Zoom in removes the black boxes too, but if you zoom out there are visible again.
    I also recognzied that this must be a problem if the iPads PDF engine and not from iBooks. I got the same random black boxes in a PDF which I viewd in Safari.
    I think that changing the reader will only help if it has its own PDF Engine. Don't know if this possible in iOS.
    Perhaps it's some kind of memory leak of the iOS PDF Engine, after this bug apperas only after some time of ussage.

  • HT1338 I have a lot of files called FILE0001.CHK etc. on my MacBookPro - they cannot be opened and an app search produces no solution.  Does anyone know what they are please?

    Thanks Charlie and Leroydouglas - apologies for not responding sooner - I am new to the Community and couldn't see how to respond to your queries without 'replying' to myself - hope this works.  I do not use Windows on my Mac but it is possible I ran ScanDisk on my previous Windows laptop.  Perhaps I have inadvertently brought these files to my Mac??  Can I delete the files or will I be losing something I cannot verify?  So appreciate your input - thank you.

  • HT4623 Why is my iPad 2 randomly opening and closing apps? And why, at the same time, does the screen goes bigger than smaller repetitively?

    7.29.2013 - iPad2 begins to randomly open and close apps and also the screen changes from bigger to smaller repetitively when the apps are randomly opening and closing. Nothing occurred with the device to indicate why this started happening; it was not dropped, etc.

    If still problem:
    - Reset all settings      
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up                             
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • Hangs, slow shutdowns and restart, spinning ball opening and closing apps

    I am experiencing random hang ups and slow wake up and shutdowns.
    I will be typing something and nothing appears then all of a sudden the text will appear. The cursor will periodically hang up, applications take along time to open and close and I seem to get the spinning ball frequently. System preferences is slow to open. The problems seems to correct itself if I restart.
    In addition, it takes forever for the DVD to recogized a CD or DVD disk and show the icon on the desk top.
    I have been monitoring various posts related to this problem and there does not seem to be an answer?? Is Apple aware of these issues. I have done everything from resetting the PRAM to running disk utilities, unpluging the machine, re-installing software, etc... Nothing seems to work...I called tech support and been the Genius Bar....It seems to get worse the longer the computer is on....HELP...

  • Automatically open and quit app at specific times

    I want to open the DVD Player app at a specific time in the morning and have it play a DVD all day (it's looped). I then want the app to quit at a specific time at night. The computer will go to sleep from when the app quits until right before it opens (I have that part figured out).
    Can someone show me how to open and quit the app at specific times or point me somewhere where I can learn how to do this? I'm an AppleScript newbie, so explanations are grateful. I will be using a Mac Mini for this installation.
    Thanks!

    Use iCal alarms to run the following scripts:
    tell application "DVD Player" to run
    tell application "DVD Player" to quit
    Each line is a separate script.

  • IPad starts to open and shut apps by itself!!!

    At least once a day, my iPad spontaneously starts to behave in a bizarre way. Apps open and shut in rapid succession, text is entered automatically if the keyboard is open - none of this appears to be linked to the presence of my fingers on the device. It just does this spontaneously. The only way to resolve the problem is to shot it down then re-start the device. jHas anyone ever heard of this happening, and importanrtly, is there a fix??

    Reboot the device by pressing and holding down the home and sleep/wake buttons (power) at the same time until the apple logo appears on the screen, then let go.
    If that doesn't work then reset the device by going to settings/general/reset/reset all settings
    If that doesn't work, then update iTunes on computer, backup device to iTunes, then restore the device.

  • Playbook opens and closes apps randomly, constantly

    I have a 32gig playbook that all of a sudden has gone haywire. The screen goes nuts like someone is inside playing around, apps open and close randomly to the point I can't do anything. I've tried reseting, 3 button reset, managed to do a security wipe but nothing helps. It does it if its plugged in charging or not, I've looked through a few posts and this seems to happen for time to time but very few people have posted any solution. I will try to reinstall the OS when I get home but with the thing going haywire I'm not sure I can get it to connect to do that. Is there any solution to this? What caused it?

    Here is the procedure. Read it over first, then do it.
    You need to follow these instructions to "debrick" your PlayBook:
    1. Do a backup of your PlayBook using your computer and BlackBerry Desktop Software version 7 installed. It can be downloaded from http://us.blackberry.com/apps-software/desktop/
    2. After the backup is finished, unplug the PlayBook and on the PlayBook press and hold down the power button until the unit forces the device off.
    3. With the Desktop Software still open on your computer and the PlayBook powered off, connect the PlayBook to your computer once again.
    4. You should see an error screen from Desktop Software popup with the options to Retry, Update, or Cancel.
    Very quickly choose the Update option.
    5. All information will on your PlayBook will be erased and a reload of the Software will commence to install on the PlayBook.
    6. Once this is complete your PlayBook will go back through the initial (as if new) setup wizard (entering the BlackBerryID, etc., and then you can perform a restore using Desktop Software to return your personal data from the backup. Applications which you downloaded from AppWorld won't restore, but they can be easily reinstalled using AppWorld > MyWorld section of AppWorld.

  • Trouble with opening and using Apps

    Apps such as Netflix and Words with Friends do not work correctly; when I tap on them, they flash for a second only and then disappear back as just icons.

    When an app misbehaves I try the following.
    1. Quit the app like I describe and try it again.
    Double click the Home button to show the screen with running and recently used apps. Each app icon will have a sample page above it. Flick up on the page (not the app icon) and the page will fly away and the app icon will disappear. This quits that app. Then start the app again and see if it functions correctly.
    2. If the first item did not work I will quit the app again then reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. Then start the app again.
    3. Still not working? I will delete the app and download it again from the App Store.
    4. If non of these get the app running properly I will contact the developer of the app to see if they are aware of a problem.

  • How to open and compile a package specification and body in SQL Developer

    I'm currently evaluating a possible migration to SQL Developer.
    Our PL/SQL code base is stored in scripts files named as follows: <schema>.<package_name>_<package|package_body>.sql and managed in SVN.
    If now trying open a sql script containing the package specification or body and trying to compile it, I get no or strange error messages as if SQLDeveloper would not recognize the source as a PL/SQL code.
    If I open an already compiled package from the database it seems to work as expected.
    On the other hand I cannot find any option to write a package specification or body to a script except for the "Save package spec and body" option that only generates a single (!) script containing package specification and body in one single file and without any configuration options on how to name the generated file.
    Any help is appreciated!

    What strange error messages ? Make sure to configure your extensions as PL/SQL file type under Preferences - File Types.
    To save, just Save As under the File menu.
    Hope that helps,
    K.

  • Hi, I have an iPhone 5s. I just downloaded the Hulu Plus app from the app store and it says that I can open it while I'm in the App Store however, it won't open and the app icon is not anywhere on my actual screen. What can I do to fix this?

    Hi, I have an iPhone 5s. I just downloaded the Hulu Plus app for my iPhone and in the app store it's as I can open it however when I hit open, it does not open in fact, nothing happens. Also there is no icon for Hulu Plus on my home screen so I'm confused as to what exactly to do I'm going to settings and there's only one thing that you can do which is reset. I tried that. nothing.

    Have you restarted your phone?
    If so, try a reset. Press and hold the home & sleep/wake buttons until the screen goes blank, ignoring the power off slider if it comes up.
    Check for the app again after the phone starts back up.

  • How I fixed Finder Crash, dmg's not opening and 2 apps not working?

    I have to say a big thank you to this forum because I was having some big problems and was told to do a fresh install which I did but then when I migrated my main account over the problem kept happening.
    My Quicktime and itunes would not work and finder would crash and dmg's would not open properly. I typed in Finder crash and found a lot of helpful information for the finder crash part.
    First I looked the report for both itunes and Quicktime and found they had the same error:
    the QT symbol couldn't be found (Expected in: /System/Library/Frameworks/QuickTime.framework/Versions/A/QuickTime)
    so I trashed my Quicktime (there was probably an easier way but I wasn't sure what that was) and then reinstalled it from apple and once that was done both Quicktime and itunes were working fine (after doing a software update).
    Then thanks to iBod who gave this advice when Finder crashes using right click as mine did all the time:
    That normally means you have an incompatible menu plugin. Check these 2 locations and move anything present onto your Desktop to disable it:
    /Users/YourUsername/Library/Contextual Menu Items/
    /Library/Contextual Menu Items/
    I did this and voila I'm back and running.

    Dude...worked like a champ. I uninstalled something small (Tank Cannon Game). Reinstalled. Everything works now, including loopt (which was my initial indicator as well).
    Thanks again.
