Programatically Accessing the Increment & Decrement of a Slide Control.

Does anyone know if its possible to change the Increment and/or Decrement buttons in a Slide control? I know I can do this through the property pages but I can't find a method or property in the CNiImage class to gain access to these "buttons".
Basically I have a 3D Horizontal Fill Slide and want to make the rounded ends flash when the value is under or over range and I can't find a way of doing it.

Take a look at the CNiSlide::Images method. The documentation describes how you can access a CNiImage that corresponds to parts of the slide, including the increment and decrement buttons. Once you have the CNiImage for the buttons, you can configure the animation, blinking, etc. For example:
CNiImage image = m_slide.Images(_T("Increment Button"));
image.BlinkInterval = CNiImage::SpeedVeryFast;

Can I set the Increment/Decrement to not visible by default?

The Increment/Decrement attachment to ALL the Numeric controls is a nuisance. Give me a palette that does not have the Increment/Decrement visible by default and my life will be MUCH better. I would not mind clicking on a check box if it was needed.
How can I make it NOT visible by default?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Thanks,
It took me a while but I got it done! I use the Modern style so it is not that easy as it would be with Silver. I just think Silver looks 'Bloated'.
Now I don't have to turn off that check mark everytime i place a numeric control! YEA

When I resize the font for the Page Labels on the tab control in LabVIEW 7, the Increment/Decrement size gets messed up. Is there a solution to this problem or is this a bug?

I have noticed in LabVIEW 7.0 and 7.1 that when the text in the page labels display is enlarged, that the arrows enlarge but the top arrow enlarges more then the small arrow but then when you decrease the text size, the arrows stay remain large. This is not a problem in 6.1 because the arrows aren't available. Is there a work around for this bug or do I have to use small text for these page label arrows to look right?

I must admit that I've never used the page labels display and it does look like a bug. You can fix it however. Select the tab control and choose Advanced>Customize. In the control editor, select the page label control and do the same thing. You should be in the control editor for the numeric control and then you can go to edit mode and enlarge the decrement arrow to make it the same size as the increment.

With Traditional NI-DAQ Compatibility VI's the acquisition locks when I press the increment or decrement button of a numeric control.

Hello all.
I´m using a PCI-6220 and the Traditional NI-DAQ Compatibility VI's to make the acquisition that is in the attached VI. But when I click the increment/decrement button on the numeric controls my acquisition stops. In the same PC I made the same experience with a 6040 and I could not see this problem. I tried with the PCI-6220 with the DaqMX VI's and I could not see this problem too, for these reasons I believe that the problem has something to do with the Traditional NI-DAQ Compatibility VI's.
I built machines that can have one or the other board (depending if it is low-end or normal). Does somebody knows the solution for this problem?
Thanks in advance.

Hello
For what I’ve seen on National web site, using the “Traditional compatibility VI’s”, it sould be possible to control a NI-DAQmx using code written in NI-DAQ Traditional. This information was obtained from the following NI link:

Programatically bring the cursor to a numerical control while VI running

Does anyone know how to programatically move the cursor to a particular numerical control while a VI is running?
I have a VI that polls the user for information, and at one point, the user has to repeatedly type numbers into the same numerical control and press enter. For a number of reasons, it is awkward to be messing with the mouse during this particular test. Each time the user presses a paricular button to send data a to file (which I have linked to the Return key on the keyboard by means of 'key navigation'), I would like the cursor to jump to the relevant numerical control ready for the next number to be entered on the keyboard. Does anyone have any ideas how to do this?
I have set up a separate key navigation for thenumerical control in question, so if the user presses the Esc key, this control becomes active and the cursor is in place, but I would like to move the cursor there without this extra user button press if at all possible.
Regards,
Will

I'm not sure if this is what you are looking for but it might do what you need.
On the block diagram right click the control in question >>create>>property node>>key focus. Now right click the property node and select Change to write. Wire a boolean true constant to it and place this snippit in the appropriate place(s) in your code depending upon your architecture.
Hope this helps.

Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file when opening safari

I am on a HP Probook 4520s and when I try to run the Safari executable I get the error message:
"Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permission to access the item."
I have full control to the C:\Program Files (x86)\Safari folder
Could someone please help?

Hey All
I have actually managed to find out what it is so thanks for any suggestions up to now.
At work, we use McAfee AntiVirus. Part of this is McAfee SiteAdvisor 3.5 for Internet Security.
In Policy Catalog in the McAfee ePO system under SiteAdvisor, there is Hardening setting. What this does is block any unauthorised browser from being able to run. Safari, along with the likes of Opera and some others are automatically blocked by this. Once you uncheck, to allow users to run Safari, it works fine.
Here's where I found the answer:

Tiled vi pane backgrounds can cause slow slider control updating

In diagnosing a slow responding slider control I found that the problem was having selected a Pane background image that was set to Brushed Metal and Tiled.
It turns out that it was the tiled setting that caused the slowdown (which was very pronounced). It may not be commonly known, but if you right click on a vi pane scroll bar you
have a right click menu that has the option of setting the background image jpg.

Hmm, yes, it's actually pretty noticeable even all you have on the front panel is a slide control (you can see the slider trailing the mouse pointer when you move it up and down). It also seems to be specific to the metal brushed theme and doesn't happen when other backgrounds are tiled...
Let me do some more testing here...

You will need to Restore it as a New Device...
Restore...
1: Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
2: If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane.
3: If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try using the steps in this article to force the device into recovery mode.

How can I Access the Flash "Slide class" using flex and ActionScript 3?

Hi,
I hope someone can help me solve a problem...
I'm using the flex SwfLoader to load a flash side
presentation as follows...
<mx:SWFLoader id="ss_slides" source="ss_slides.swf"
width="320" height="240"/>
I would like to access the flash "Slide Class" using flex so
I can make the following call...
Slide.gotoNextSlide();
Anyone know how I can do that?
Would it be through the SwfLoader Object?
Is there another way?
F.Y.I. Here is a snippets about the Slide class from the
Flash 8 help...
Using the Slide class (Flash Professional only)
You use the methods and properties of the Slide class to
control slide
presentations you create using the Screen Outline pane for a
Flash Slide
Presentation, to get information about a slide presentation
(for example, to
determine the number of child slides contained by parent
slide), or to navigate
between slides in a slide presentation (for example, to
create "Next slide" and
"Previous slide" buttons).
You can also use the built-in behaviors that are available
in the Behaviors
panel to control slide presentations. For more information,
see Adding controls
to screens using behaviors (Flash Professional only) in Using
Flash.
Thanks,
Chris S.

Hi Chris,
You cannot access the methods of the Flash 8 movie from Flex.
And you can't do it the other way around either.
The only way to communicate is to create a LocalConnection on
each side.

My iPad is stuck. The little box stating that there is not enough iCloud storage available will not close or allow me to go to settings....I have tried to shut it down but I can't access the slide to power off button either. Any thoughts???

Hey there Apple Users
I would like some assistance with my iPad please
My iPad is stuck. The little box stating that there is not enough iCloud storage available will not close or allow me to go to settings....I have tried to shut it down but it won't let me access the slide to power off button either. Any thoughts???

Try this.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

Access the Name and Value of a StationGlobals container programatically

Hello,
I am having some trouble trying to programmatically write the contents of a container into my HTML report header. The container contains a series of strings and numbers. These are saved into StaionGlobals.
Note that I am performing all of these operations in a statment step inside the sequence editor of TestStand
I used the following method to access the correct property, which sits inside a for loop. Now this seems to work fine as Locals.PropertyObj contains the element which I wish to access. In the following Locals.PropertyObj is an object. TestSetup is the name of my setup information container
Locals.PropertyObj = StationGlobals.GetNthSubProperty("TestSetup", StationGlobals.ForIterator, 0)
I can access the Name of the parameter simply by using the following code (where Locals.Name is a string):
Locals.Name = StationGlobals.GetNthSubPropertyName("TestSetup", StationGlobals.ForIterator, 0)
However when I try to access the actual value of the parameter I get an error or the wrong information. The following line gives me back the value "PropertyObject, IID = {8D87....}" which is not the value I am trying to get to.
Locals.Val = StationGlobals.GetNthSubProperty("TestSetup", StationGlobals.ForIterator, 0)
I must be doing something wrong, and have tried various methods to do this but cannot get my head around the problem. I tried to use the following also, but it resulted in an error:
Locals.PropertyObj.AsPropertyObject.GetFormattedValue((Locals.PropertyObj.AsPropertyObject).Name, 0, "", False, "")
Note that the following line works fine:
(Locals.PropertyObj.AsPropertyObject).Name
Also can you tell me why the lookup string needs to be defined in Locals.PropertyObj.AsPropertyObject.GetValueString(), is there a way to not require the lookup string as you are already have the correct property, and just the value is needed to be gotten.
One last thing, in Evaluate() how do I make it work with dots, for example the following line (another attempt to get the value) did not work due to the presence of the . character
Evaluate("StationGlobals.TestSetup." + (Locals.PropertyObj.AsPropertyObject).Name)
Many thanks in advance of your response,
Ben Lawler
ps. hope that I am not being stupid and missed something very obvious

Ben,
Just a few comments;
[Locals.PropertyObj = StationGlobals.GetNthSubProperty("TestSetup", StationGlobals.ForIterator, 0)]
This should give you a PropertyObject for the 1st subproperty of StationGlobals.TestSetup if StationGlobals.ForIterator = 0
[Locals.Name = StationGlobals.GetNthSubPropertyName("TestSetup", StationGlobals.ForIterator, 0)]
This should give you the name of the 1st subProperty of StationGlobals.TestSetup if StationGlobals.ForIterator = 0
[Locals.Val = StationGlobals.GetNthSubProperty("TestSetup", StationGlobals.ForIterator, 0)]
This is going to return the 1st subproperty of StationGlobals.TestSetup if StationGlobals.ForIterator = 0 as a PropertyObject reference
and Locals.Val should be an ActiveX Reference type which I am guessing it isn't.
[Locals.PropertyObj.AsPropertyObject.GetFormattedValue((Locals.PropertyObj.AsPropertyObject).Name, 0, "", False, "")]
I think this should be Locals.PropertyObj.GetFormattedValue("", 0, "", False, ""), you dont need to specify the lookup string because you have obtained a reference to the actual sub-PropertyObject.
and therefore
Locals.Val = Locals.PropertyObj.GetFormattedValue("", 0, "", False, "")
should give you the value of the 1st subproperty of StationGlobals.TestSetup if Locals.PropertyObj was obtained as above.
I will try to check out your sequencefile later when I have access to TestStand 4.x.

How do i access the speed slider so i can slow motion in video clips?

i an having trouble accessing this function. I have CS6 (windows) and i can't access the 'speed/duration sliders' to slow down my clip to look like its in slow motion. I know this can be done...it says so in the help file in photoshop.
thx

thx, i can't see where you do that (access the function to slow the motion of a clip). in the help file it says to 'right click' on the clip to access those functions but when i do i get these optios below (no motion, pan, zoom, pan and zoom). i want access the speed/duration sliders.
i would say the function isn't available at all, but i could be looking in the wrong place (although i have tried everything).
thx for your reply.

Increment decrement visible property

It would appear that (in LV 2012 SP1) the simple numeric control from the Classic palette shows following behaviour when accessing via VI Server:
Class Name = "Digital"
Increment / Decrement Visible = Error, property not found
?? What ??
It appears that these controls, although being a member of the "Digital" VI Server class do not honour the interface of the class of controls it belongs to. Is this by design or is it a bug?
This caused me some headaches in the last 24 hours. I was not aware that "Increment / Decrement Visible?" was one of those properties which may or may not be present (Like a valid "Caption" reference when a Caption is not visible. At least here we have a check with "Has Caption?".
Say hello to my little friend.
RFC 2323 FHE-Compliant

Error 5014? 4150? I'll get there eventually.
So it's kind of expected then. Seems a bit weird that a plain "ByVal" property is sometimes not supported. I knew that was the case with References (Text labels, Scales etc.) but not with these kinds of properties.
I live and I learn (and get lots of error codes wrong).

HT3867 I'm in a hotel; I successfully got their WiFi signal; now I click on Safari so I can access the sign up page; it doesn't work on my iPad; it doesn't work on my iPhone; it does work on my MacBook Pro!! FRUSTRATING. help.

This happens too often and ususally it fixes itself by a fluke. Today it isn't.
I need to access the hotel's sign in page and two of my three devises won't open the page.
Works fine on day and not the next.
The signal is strong, but Safari won't open the page I need to put the password in. Any work arounds anybody?
Help!

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
