Placement of UI Controls

Hi Guru's,
I'm new to WEBDYNPRO. I've developed one application with couple of Input Fileds,Labels and Buttons.
My Requirement is i want to place those controls at in the middle/right end of the page.
How to acheive this ? is there any properties need to be set to move controls what ever the place i like.
Thanks in Advance.
Regards,
Adi

Hi,
Yes, Open Input Fileds,Labels and Buttons property, select halign & set <b>halign="right"</b>..

Bug with placement of audio controls

I have run across a potential bug in the iBooks application. When using <audio> tags in book chapters with the linear ="no" setting in the <spine> section of the .opf file, the placement of the <audio> controls is incorrect, even somewhat random. I have tried various structures - paragraphs, tables, lists, they all have this same problem.
These same .xhtml files work perfectly when viewed through a browser or when viewed in iBooks with linear="yes".
Has anyone seen this problem before?

Thank you Steve. I do have Liz Castro's books, they are very good. Creating the audio content is not the problem, have done it many times. The problem is I believe a bug in iBooks that incorrectly places the audio controls when the section of the eBook set as linear="no" in the <spine>. This setting takes the section out of the linear reading flow of the book and opens it up in a new page, outside of the book. It's very useful for large tables, etc. Liz has examples of this on her site also. It works very well, except for the audio controls. While the function, it seems impossible to control their location on the page.

How to access/control an RT controller in a remote place

I've been using an RT controller (PXI-8108) directly connected to my PC via an Ethernet cable. Now it would be convenient if I can place the PXI in some distant place and monitor/control it without physically being there. The PXI is currently set up with a static IPv4 address. I use Windows Explorer to open the ftp server and manipulate data files on the PXI. To open the front panel of the main VI running on the PXI, I run a small VI containing an Invoke Method called Remote Panel: Open Connection to Server where the IP address, server port and the VI's name are input, on my PC connected to the PXI.
What I want to figure out is:
Would it be possible to retain the same full funtionality when I connect my PC and the PXI through the company network? If so, how can I make the connection work? I'd like to get some tips on network settings.
Also, what about, say, placing the PXI in a far-away foreign country and monitoring it at home? Is it viable?
Any tips/share of experience will be appreciated.

Hi there,
You can do this across any network, as long as you have access on that network. I would recommend setting a static IP address for your Real-Time controller, as the poster above indicated. It would probably be a good idea for you to set this up with your IT administrator, as he/she may have dedicated IP addresses for you.
Other things to watch out for, especially in a company office, are firewalls and anti-virus software on your computer, which may inhibit the ability to communicate with the device in Measurement & Automation Explorer.
Talk to your IT department to make sure that you can be granted access to the network. This also applies to foreign networks; it is possible to connect to your controller on any other network, but you will have to work with your IT department in order to obtain access remotely. For example, you may need to set up VPN.

Image display control scrolling does not work properly when zoomed in

I am using a ROI on an image in the image display control. When zooming into the image to fine-adjust the positioning of the ROI, the image scrolling does not work properly. As far as I understand, the image should scroll automatically when the ROI is leaving the visible area. However, the scrolling behaviour seems to depend on the origin of the Labview panel, not the origin of the image display control, which might require to move the ROI way out of the visible area before the scrolling takes place. In other words: the coordinate system of the image display control is shifted with respect to the true visible image area, depending on where you place it on the front panel. As a consequence, when clicking on a ROI which is in the visible area, but is outside of what Labview thinks is the visible area, it might immediately jump to the left border of the image, making the positioning of the ROI really difficult.
Has anyone noticed this behaviour, and what would be a reliable solution to avoid this?
Dirk

Hello,
no, I am not talking about the tools palette. Just place an image control with some image in it on a new VI front panel. Then, use the rectangle from the tools and select a ROI in the image. If you zoom in (using the magnification glass), and then grab the ROI and move it around, the image scroll with the ROI. So far, so good. If you now place the image control elsewhere on the panel, or add new control above it, resize the panel, etc. , this scrolling when moving the ROI will not work correctly if the origin (0,0) of the panel is far away from the image control.
I have attached a VI for simplicity (although there is hardly any code in it).
If you make a ROI and try to move it down, you will notice that scrolling starts if you move the mouse out to about 10cms below the image (depens on your screen, of course). After that, if you click on the ROI, the scroll bars and ROI might jump up to the upper end of the image. Imagine how annoying this is if you try to finely adjust the ROI position.
I think it is a bug in the implementation of the image display control.
Thanks,
Dirk

How can I hide a text label as I would a control or indicator?

As I have multiple indicators that must have the same identifier to the operator I can not use the indicator label as the items identifier. At times I want to hide the indicator and label. How can I hide the label? Please recall a text label just sits on the front panel as desired. It isn't within a raised or lowered box. In the attached sample I would like to hide "MyLabel" when the date indicator is hidden.
Attachments:
Test_Label.vi ‏35 KB

Here�s a way. Its a little involved, but it will work:
1. Customize a control or indicator to remove the border (I used a string control)
a. Right click on the control or indicator, go to �Advanced � Customize�
b. Click on the wrench on the tool bar to enter edit mode
c. Select the border and drag it off to the side
d. Reduce the size of the border to a single pixel (it won�t let you delete it)
e. Rubber band a box around the 1 pixel border to select it and use the cursor keys to move it within the �white space� of the string control. It will effectively disappear. You will NOT be able to move it with the mouse as LV will try to resize the border instead of moving it.
f. Using the color tools �suck up� the background color of your vi and �paint� i
t into the white space of the control.
g. Make the control the correct size to hide your label(s). Make sure it is right as you will NOT be able to resize the control outside of the �customize� function (i.e.: while on your front panel)
h. Click on the tweezers to go back to customize mode.
i. Give your control a descriptive name
j. Right click on the control, go to �Visible Items� and uncheck �label� to hide the label.
k. Save your new control
2. Back on your front panel, place your new control over what you want to hide and programmatically make it visible or invisible as desired.
I have included a copy of your original vi, modified to hide and unhide your label. I have also included the customized string control that accomplishes this. You may resize the control as needed by �customizing it as described above.
The only disadvantage to this method is that if you want to hide multiple labels they must be in the same area of the front panel. Otherwise you must have seve
ral �hiding� controls.
An advantage is that you will not have to make the original control or indicator (i.e.: the date indicator) visible or invisible as it can be hidden as well.
Hope this does what you want.
Good Luck.

Detect obsolete mitigating control assignments?

Hello,
What report/s would you use to detect obsolete mitigating control assignments?
The scenario is: A user has been assigned a mitigating control, let's say during the CUP workflow, to mitigate a certain risk that came with a certain role. Later, that role is removed from the user. Now the user is in the scope of a mitigating control. However, the user is not even subject to the risk in question anymore.
Which way (periodically?) could you detect these cases and clean up the mitigating control assignments?
Thanks and regards
Patrick

Hey,
My experience of cleaning up controls has not been very straight forward.
I have had to perform various risk analysis reports and look up a list of user accounts that have been marked as "Expired" etc.
It can be slightly more difficult if, like many organisations, you decide to assign a control with a infinite validity period (i.e. 12.12.9999).
The Business and Internal Control team need to be very proactive about regularly monitoring the controls and reviewing the assignments. This is one reason why I strongly recommend that controls are only assigned for a set period (i.e. 365 days/1 year), so a compulsory review takes place by the control owners/business on a regular basis. This makes the controls much more affective, robust and fit for purpose.
Happy to hear other's opinions and ideas.

How do I set the default file path for the Place command?

I keep my graphics files for each document in a particular folder. Every time I open an existing InDesign document and place a new image I have to browse back to that location - even though all of the previous images in that document came from the same folder. InDesign does not remember the file path that was used previously in the document. This is very annoying.
IS THERE A WAY TO SET THE DEFAULT FILE PATH, OR LOCATION, FOR IMAGE FILES?
I have looked through the preferences, searched the forums and internet, but I have not found any reference to setting default paths. Is there a setting like the one in MS Word called "File Locations" on the Options toolbox?
Thank you.

Since you're working in ID on Windows, you can take advantage of a neat trick in Windows. Copy the file path out of the File Explorer address bar and paste it directly into the Place filename field. That will jump you directly to the desired volume. For example, let's say I want to place a graphic located at X:\PS Jobs\May PS\709672bp\Working Source Files\Links. I copy that entire path from the File Explorer address bar, go to InDesign, select File|Place, and press Control + V to paste that path into the filename field. I press the Open button and Shazam! I'm there instantly, without a bunch of navigation.
You can do the same thing in the File|Save As and File|Export fields. Let's say you want export a PDF file from InDesign to the volume X:\PS Jobs\May PS\709672bp\Working PDF Files. First copy the desired file path from the File Explorer window. In InDesign, select File|Export, click anywhere in the filename field, and press the Home key to move the insertion point to the front of the filename. Press Control + V to paste that path in front of the filename, then add the backslash character (\). The filename will now look like this: X:\PS Jobs\May PS\709672bp\Working PDF Files\Filename.pdf. Press the Save button to bring up the Export Adobe PDF window. Select your desired PDF preset, press the Export button, and the PDF file will magically appear in the desired volume.
This sounds really complicated, but it's not. In practice, it only takes a few seconds. I probably save an hour's worth of needless navigation every day with this technique.

How to create redlog and control file at ASM in linux RAC

Hi Experts,
I will to maintance a oracle 10g database at ASM as RAC iin linux red hat.
i am a new person with some question.
nornally speaking, oracle recommadition for oracle 10g database as
create 3 copy fills for control file
create at least 2 redo log with mirror files in system.
However, I checked find
redlog file is at FRA place +FLSdisk1 and no mirror
control file is at FRA place--+FLSDISK1/
datebase file at ‘+DATA1/
There are no mirror for relog.
Go to EM, I also could not find place to enter file name.
We use ASM to hold database to support RAC.
Do i need to create redlog file as
ALTER DATABASE ADD LOGFILE GROUP 1 ('+FLSdisk1/sale/onlinelog/REDO01.LOG','+FLSdisk1/sale/onlinelog/REDO01_mirror.LOG') SIZE 1000M reuse;
my boss told me that ASM is reliable.
Do you need to creat more directory to arrange redlog and control files in ASM for RAC system?
FRA is a good place to store control file and redlog file ?
Thanks
JIM
Edited by: user589812 on Jul 3, 2009 3:03 PM

ASM is reliable but a smart DBA is very careful. If ASM is doing mirroring this is like RAID doing mirroring. What happens if you accidentally delete one copy ... the other one disappears instantly. Not a good idea.
With respect to redo logs you need a minimum of three groups, two members, and one thread per instance. So a 2 node cluster should, at a minimum have 12 physical files.
Not mirroring the redo logs, assuming multiple members, is not as critical.

Loop delay when using two VI's with picture controls simultaneously

Hey all,
I have observed an odd behavior and I'm not quite sure why it happens. I have two VI's that are mapping GPS coordinates onto XY graphs that are displayed on top of picture controls. When the maps from both of the VI's are visible on screen the loops get delayed by as much as a second, but if you just cover the map portion with another window they go back to looping at twice a second as they should. It took me a little while to figure this part out, let me tell you. There are no computing limitations that should be affecting it since my CPU is only at 10-12% and have 4GB of RAM available. I checked the GPU too just in case and it was sitting at 3% usage, so no hold up there. Anyone have any experience with something like this happening to them? It has me stumped.
I though it might have to do with how LabVIEW handled them, so I went ahead and made them into EXE's and tried it out with the same results.
Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions,
dnorman

Is it possible to run the redraw of the picture tiles in parallel, on multiple cores, if they are going into the same control?
I doubt it. Even if the picture control wasn't pretty old (and it is), I don't know of any mechanism which will give you this level of control.
Here are potential options. I have no idea if they will help:
Instead of building separate commands, process the data in such a way that you have a single raster image (i.e. a 2D array) to place into the control. I believe this should be faster.
Use another type of display (such as a .NET indicator).
Instead of using the XY graph, overlay the data directly onto the image (there should be some graph VIs in the picture palette which might help).
Try defering panel updates before updating all the controls and undefering after. I don't think this will help, but it's probably the easiest change to make.
Try to take over the world!

Dynamic Table control header text

Hi everyone,
I need to change the column header texts of a table control dynamically.
There are 32 columns in my table control. I got the information that I have to use I/O fields for every columns as the column header texts to change it dynamically.
But it didn't work as the I/O box goes into the body of the table control instead of being placed in the header area. So I checked w/title and tried to drag and drop the I/O boxes on the header text place of table control. But it allowed only one I/O box to be there in the header area..
Please suggest me any idea to place the 32 I/O boxes in the header area as the corresponding column headers in the table control..
Thanks in advance,
Sheeba.

Controlling rotation stage with NI card/controller

I am trying to control a rotation motor (Velmex). I have a NI PCI-7414 card and NI MID-7604 stepper motor drive already installed. My problem is in how to actually send commands to control the motor via LabVIEW software (ValueMotion). I am not extremely software inclined but I know the basics of LabVIEW. Has anyone done this before and can help. Thanks -)

Hello,
Thank you for contacting National Instruments.
One good starting place for motion control is to use the Measurement and Automation Explorer (MAX) program to setup and test your motion controller. If you are using the PCI-7314 with ValueMotion 5.0.2 (latest version), then you should be able to use MAX. If not, I highly recommend upgrading to 5.0.2. Also note that ValueMotion is an obsolete product, so updates are no longer being made.
For assistance with MAX, please see the following tutorials (note that the tutorials are based on the newer software, and will look a little different for ValueMotion):
Axis Configuration
Axis Settings
Trajectory Settings
To use the motion controller in LabVIEW, I recommend first taking a look at the example programs. ValueMotion will install example VIs for simple move operations in the LabVIEW\examples\motion\ValueMotion folder.
Another good starting place is the following tutorial (the example VIs in the tutorial are based on the newer motion software, but the same basic procedure applies with the ValueMotion VIs):
Fundamentals of Motion Control
Hope this information helps out. Let me know if you have any further questions.

One way of doing this is to use either a ring or enum where the strings
presented to the user are "1", "10", or whatever you like. On the
diagram, the values will be 0, 1, 2, in a compact counting sequence.
Then do an array index into a constant. If this is done more than one
place, make the control a typedef so you can keep them consistent an
d
make the index be done in a subVI. Then whenever you need this, you
drop the control and the subVI, out comes the integer, float, or
whatever it is you want to index.

Roxio MyDVD Basic v9 installer when I run any ActiveX Control in Excel.

I built a pop up calendar to insert dates. It works perfectly except that the first time I try to run it after opening the spreadsheet, it launches an installer for Roxio MyDVD Basic v9. I always cancel it and the macro still works as intended.
Now, this wouldn't be a big problem if I was the only person using the spreadsheet file. Since I'm distributing this as a template to coworkers, I don't want them to freak out when this happens, so I'd rather just stop it from trying to launch Roxio MyDVD.
I've figured out that it has to do with the Microsoft MonthView Control I used in creating the macro being an ActiveX control. I know this because I can open up a new excel workbook, go to VBA and create a new UserForm. As soon as I place an ActiveX control into the blank UserForm1, the installer for Roxio MyDVD launches. I let it run its course, but it cannot complete the install because the "resources needed are unavailable" on our network. I'd rather not have it run at all. Understandably, our network security is pretty high, and I assume my security settings don't allow it. Since the function I use still works without this installed, I don't get why it keeps reaching out to get it. Nor do I know how to stop it.

Fixed it.
Attached is the complete export given by Microsoft System Information. It provides a lot of information and if you need more then let me know.
Luckily, it seems that MsiInstaller has been reporting errors to Windows while it flickers. You'll find these in the system report and they helped me track down the problems. The errors stemed from this:
Detection of product '{518930BE-7875-4547-B026-20B92F695781}', feature 'DataSocket.LVW71RTE' failed during request for component '{FC3E0B6E-F62B-11D1-B144-00C04F990B2B}'
For some reason, it was trying to install these things and it began to fail after the software was uninstalled because the keys it was looking for no longer existed.
I also found a lot of what looks like data c
orruption related to NIDAQ stuff in my registry. For instance, many of my Microsoft common controls (like TabStrip) contained a value named InprocServer32 within their InprocServer32 key that had not previously existed. As random as it looks, the value always contained the following string:
G!P5BM[^==)9LRdDWOXQDataSocket.LVW71RTE>j^8!E}1.(?KY(JMzo[{A@-HK,BS+T93)NrWc5@!pDataSocket.LVW16>j^8!E}1.(?KY(JMzo[{A
Note that the same string "DataSocket.LVW71RTE" as in the error is contained in there.
Also, deep in the registry there was this key:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer\UserData\S-1-5-18\Products\EB039815578774540B62029BF2967518\Features
...that appeared to contain all sorts of gibberish. I have attached an export of that key as well. For example, the value ActiveX.LVW71RTE was set to:
J$YfbexG-?m!AbH6US{*Msu*X]isJ9X{tiy(&XkvRun_Time_Engine.LVW71RTE
I can't tell you what was the exact cause of MSVC6 always trying to install these thing
s and, for all I know, that "gibberish" is actually meaningful, encoded data but deleting those whacked out keys has eliminated the issue.

No parental controls on tv shows and movies?

just received my Apple TV today, downloaded a show, went to parental controls and there is only an option for blocking YouTube only....
am I missing something?

I would argue that parental controls are NOT handled "very well".
Even my 4 year old is smart enough to know the 4 digit parental code that must be entered in plain text in order to unlock the apple tv. Whoever had the bright idea to show the pin in plain text wasnt thinking.
Additionally, it isnt cool that ALL movies show but just wont play unless you have the code. I would argue that unless you dont have the code you shouldnt be able to even browse the restricted content in the first place.
Parental controls are far from being handled "very well"

LabVIEW 2010 SP1: "Controls" pop-up palette "Select a control..." bug?

I'm using LabVIEW 2010 SP1 (32-bit) and I noticed today that I cannot place my custom controls on a VI's front panel when I use the "Select a Control..." option on the "Controls" pop-up palette. I'm wondering if anyone else is having this same problem?
Steps to reproduce the problem:
1) Create a custom control, or download/save the attached custom control "Machine State.ctl" (< a strictly-typed enum control).
2) Open a VI (new or existing).
2.1) If the "Controls" palette is visible (pinned open), close it.
3) Right-click with the mouse on the VI's front panel window to display the "Controls" pop-up palette.
Note: DO NOT use the "Controls" option in the "View" menu here.
Note: DO NOT pin open the Controls pop-up palette at this point.
See my comments below in the "Notes" section.
4) "Controls" palette > "Select a Control..." option
5) Using the "Select the Control to Open" dialog, browse to, select and open the custom control file (e.g., "Machine State.ctl").
At this point the on-screen cursor should show the outline of an instance of the custom control I just opened, but for me that doesn't happen; all I see is the "+" crosshair cursor, and left-clicking with the mouse on the front panel does not place an instance of the custom control on the front panel.
Notes:
* In step 3) above, if I open the VI's "View" menu and select the "Controls" option, or if I pop-up the "Controls" palette and pin the palette to keep it open, I can successfully use the "Select a Control..." option to browse to, select, open, and place an instance of my custom control on the VI's front panel. The failure only occurs when I use the "Select a Control..." option on the pop-up (unpinned) version of the Controls palette.
* I can successfully drag-and-drop an instance of a custom control onto a VI's front panel from a Windows Explorer window, or from the LabVIEW project explorer window.
* The host computer is running Windows 7 Enterprise x64 w/ SP1.

MachineState.ctl ‏5 KB

Just now I tried creating and using controls on five different computers, each running Windows 7 Enterprise x64 w/ SP1.
On three of the systems the problem did not occur; I was able to place a user-defined control on the front panel using the "Select a control..." option on the controls palette.
On two of the systems the problem still occurs. Upon further investigation, however, I learned that the hard drives in these two systems were cloned from a "master" hard drive image the IT department created. So I'm guessing there's some bad mojo on the master hard drive image, and that's what's caused this problem to show up on these two systems (and others).
So for now, I'm just going to put up with having to use the old "drag-and-drop" method for placing user-defined controls on the VIs. Thanks for your feedback and assistance with this.
