Quick Drop list won't update during search

My Quick Drop started acting up today.  Normally, when I begin typing, the list under the search box will update to show all of the possible matches.  This is no longer happening.  It still tries to autocomplete the search field, but the list doesn't update.  [screenshot attached]
I'm running LabVIEW 2009 SP1 on Windows XP 32-bit.
For what it's worth, LabVIEW crashed went on vacation early last Wednesday evening, just before I was
getting ready to leave for the weekend.  When I returned to work this morning, Quick Drop was no
longer functioning properly.  I don't know if these two events are
related, but I figured that it was a possibility.
I've tried rebooting my PC and renaming the LabVIEW.ini file and restarting LabVIEW with a fresh configuration, but no luck.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks for the additional info.  I don't think the window position issue is related to the search results updating issue.  (Incidentally, there's a fix in LabVIEW 2010 for when there are bad window coordinates for the Quick Drop window stored in the INI file).
Anyway, I still think that NI-SEARCH is the culprit, but since you can't reliably repair your installation, we can't know for sure.  So instead, I'd like you to try the following workaround:
1.  Go in [LabVIEW 2009]\resource\dialog\QuickDrop and rename QuickDrop Launch Window.vi to be QuickDrop Launch Window.bak.
2.  Save the attached QuickDrop Launch Window.vi below to [LabVIEW 2009]\resource\dialog\QuickDrop.
Now try Quick Drop and see if the results update properly.  Basically, I modified the shipping version of the main Quick Drop UI to use the old LabVIEW 8.6-style of matching results instead of the NI-SEARCH mechanism.  Let me know if this fixes the problem.

  • Quick drop list doesn't come up anymore :( LV2009f2

    My quick-drop list doesn't come up anymore when I press ctrl-space.  When I initially press ctrl-space (after loading LabVIEW) my machine behaves like it is loading the drop list (LabVIEW lags, and my hard drive thrashes for about a minute), but no drop list appears.  My computer is kinda slow and outdated (hense the long inital load times of the drop list) so that may be the issue.  I'm running a 1.6GHz Centrino w/ 1.5GB of ram and Windows XP SP3.
    I've tried rebooting.  I was using the drop list quite a bit before it stopped working.  I would like to avoid a full reinstall of LabVIEW over this.
    Any advice?
    Thanks!

    Just grasping at straws but...
    In the LV .INI file there is a line
    "QuickDropPosition="
    That apperas to save where the QD window waas when last used. Maybe yours is set for an off-screen position.

  • Song list won't update

    When I delete or add music to my Pre, the song list will not update.  The software keeps the list of songs from my last sync of ITunes, when it was compatible, but now will not show anything new, nor will it remove the songs that have been deleted.
    I have tried the drag and drop to the music file as suggested, but those songs do not appear to be on my phone to be played. So a little help please on an effective way to update this songlist so I can hear what I have added and remove what I deleted.
    Thanks

    Hello and welcome to the forums;
    I would try syncing all of your USB data back to your PC, then try the Erase USB Drive under Device Info. There may be something left over from iTunes that is not clearing out the space available or the songlist. If that doesn't solve the problem, the next thing I would try would be a Full Erase.
    While the webOS Doctor is the last step after an erase, I doubt that step will be needed in this case. If it is though, you can find it here: www.palm.com/rom

  • Hyperlink drop list

    Hi,
    For some reason, while I was adding web links within the hyperlink drop list,  suddenly it  does not appear anymore when I press the left mouse button on the drop list. Is there some setup somewhere in the system that I should know to make the drop list appear again?
    Thanks

    I do not know what's going on; the problem came back, I'm not able to modify or add a hyperlink the drop list won't show up. For some reason, the Hyperlink drop list is disabled. Why is that?
    Maybe the drop-down list is behind the application window because while the hidden drop list window is on,    mouse button won't work in other regions  of the application. It might be a good hint to solve this annoying issue.
    Thank you

    Does anyone know if it is possible to have the authors field appear as a drop list on the advanced search screen in 10gR3 UCM?

    Kyle has a great blog article about changing the Account field, you can probably use the same method for the Author field.

  • Change priority (drop list) value in WEBUI search area

    Hi all,
    I looking for the customization area/ direction to change the value or the translation of the priority drop list in the WEBUI search area.
    Can someone know how?
    Please help,
    Regards,
    Ety

    Hi
    Do you mean you want to change the details that is showing in the drop down list in your search view on web ui.
    If so, then you can refer to the following code and reuse it as per your requirement.
    Firstly, in your context node's, respective attribute, generate the getter setter methods and add the following pieces of code in get_p and get_v method.
    *code in get_p method
    CASE iv_property.
    WHEN IF_BSP_WD_MODEL_SETTER_GETTER=>FP_FIELDTYPE.
      field type: picklist
    RV_VALUE =
    CL_BSP_DLC_VIEW_DESCRIPTOR=>FIELD_TYPE_PICKLIST.
    ENDCASE.
    *code in get_v method
    DATA: ls_ddlb        TYPE bsp_wd_dropdown_line,
          lt_ddlb        TYPE bsp_wd_dropdown_table.
    IF NOT gr_ddlb_status IS BOUND.
        CREATE OBJECT gr_ddlb_status EXPORTING iv_source_type = 'T'.
      ENDIF.
        ls_ddlb-key   = 'FERT'.
        ls_ddlb-value = 'FINISHED PRODUCT'.
        INSERT ls_ddlb INTO TABLE lt_ddlb.
        ls_ddlb-key   = 'ROH'.
        ls_ddlb-value = 'RAW MATERIAL'.
        INSERT ls_ddlb INTO TABLE lt_ddlb..
    gr_ddlb_status->set_selection_table( it_selection_table = lt_ddlb ).
    rv_valuehelp_descriptor = gr_ddlb_status.
    Whatever, data is written in quotation marks u2018 u2019 is what we want in the drop down fields to display so that the user can choose from one of them.
    Hope this helps.

  • Chinese Word list Update 1.2 released on October 31, 2012, but it won't update my MBPr

    One more time, I have learned that Apple has just released Chinese Word list Update 1.2 on October 31, 2012
    For unknown reason, this update, similar to version 1.1 releaed on October 5, 2012, won't update my 15 inch MBP Retina running OSX 10.8.2
    I have managed to get chinesewordlistupdate.pkg version 1.1 for manual install from http://reviews.cnet/com/macfixit
    But when i phone Apple Tech support, they said this update is not available for download and manual installl. Indeed, it's available!
    So can any friend here point me to download chinesewordlistupdate.pkg version 1.2 please, so that i can manually install it

    I haves posted this to bugreport.apple.com. Hope I can get solution from Apple Developer, although it's so difficult to get response from them:
    On a software name Appfresh, it alerted me to update my MBPr 15 inches running latest OSX 10.8.2, with Chinese Word List Update 1.2. When I clicked on Software Pdate, app Store return No update available.
    My system have Chinese Word List Update 1.0 installed, and on October 5, 2012, Chinese Word List Update 1.1 was released by Apple, as alerted through AppFresh. However, this update never get updated on m system. I have to manually download chinesewordlistupdate.pkg from reviews.cnet.com/macfixit and install it manually. By doing so, I have Chinese Word List Update 1.1 on my system.
    The same problem occurred again today on November 5, 2012, where Chinese Word List Update is released by Apple. again, it fail to update from Software Update menu.
    Can you please:
    1. Explain why this problem occurred. This is so annoying.
    2. Advise me how can I get this Chinese Word List Date to update to version 1.2. Can you please send me the chinesewordlistupdate.pkg for version 1,2 so that I can manually install it on my system?
    3. How can I prevent similar problem with he subsequent version?
    Why Apple don't make this update standard as other update?
    Support please. Thank for response in advance.

  • 3rd generation ipod touch won't update to new OS

    I have an ipod touch, 3rd generation, 64G, model no. A1318 that has given me headaches every time there is an OS update. I usually end up with an ipod that needs to be restored and then upon restore the OS is updated. This time however, nothing is working. I get different error messages (this time it was error 1602 and then upon restore it was 3194). I really want to update my ipod as I use it a lot and this is driving me nuts. This time I can not reload apps that I has previously (like ibooks) because I need the update but it won't update. Can anyone give me any helpful suggestions please. I have read other threads and YES I AM POSITIVE it is 3RD GENERATION. Thanks

    Error 1604
    This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, using a different dock connector to USB cable, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections. If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the white Apple USB dock connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.
    If the issue is not resolved by USB isolation troubleshooting, and another computer is not available, try these steps to resolve the issue:
    Connect the device to iTunes, confirm that the device is in Recovery Mode. If it's not in Recovery Mode,put it into Recovery Mode.
    Restore and wait for the error.
    When prompted, click OK.
    Close and reopen iTunes while the device remains connected.
    The device should now be recognized in Recovery Mode again.
    Try to restore again.
    If the steps above do not resolve the issue, try restoring using a known-good USB cable, computer, and network connection.
    Error 1600, 1601, 1602
    Follow the steps listed above for Error 1604. This error may also be resolved by disabling, deactivating, or uninstalling third-party security, antivirus, and firewall software. See steps in this article for details on troubleshooting security software.

  • RE: Viewable Items on a Drop List in Forte V2

    Hi Kumar,
    Let me guess, you're using windows NT 4.0 as your client.
    I had the same problem a few months ago and raised the
    question in this list.
    My answer is as brief as it is unsatisfying:
    It is a known bug for which there is no work around.
    Forte 2 and NT 4.0 don't mix very well. Forte 3 works fine.
    You think you found some logic behind the bug, but you
    haven't. I just so happened it works this way for these
    droplists in this window. Other droplists in other windows
    will not follow this logic. Some won't even show the bug.
    These are your choises:
    Don't use NT 4.0
    Switch to Forte 3
    Don't use droplists
    Use some tricks, like adding an empty row at the end
    of the list.

    Subject: Viewable Items on a Drop List in Forte V2
    I have a set of drop lists that are part of an array field which are
    populated dynamically. If I set the number of viewable items to n,
    and
    if the drop list has m number of items in it, the number of items
    that
    actually appear is n-1 if the list contains more than n items( m>n)
    and it is m-1 if the list contains less than n items (m<n).
    For example, if I set the number of viewable items to 4 and a drop
    list contains 7 items, the actual number of viewable items I see is 3
    (4-1) whereas if the drop list contains 2 items, the actual number of
    viewable items I see is 1 (2-1).
    I searched through the archive of this list and found that this same
    issue was raised before, but couldn't find any replies pertaining to
    it.
    Is this a "feature" of Forte V2? I tried the same thing with Forte V3
    and it does work fine in V3.
    Any pointers would be appreciated.
    -- Kumar Krishnasami.
    p.s:- It doesn't matter how I set the viewable items. I tried both
    setting them through the windows workshop as well as in the code
    after
    the self.Open() in the Display() method. The behavior is the same in
    both cases.

    I have noticed that Drop List widgets show an initial value equal to

    to happen as soon as the Drop List is placed inside a grid with a

    initially. Once a value is selected from the drop down list, it
    always has a value.I have found the following behaviour to be true of DropLists with an
    object mapped type (ie, TextData as opposed to string): If you
    instantiate the mapped attribute in the Init() method (ie,
    self.theDroplist = new()), then the DropList will display the first
    item in the list as selected when the window comes up. If however, you
    do NOT instantiate the mapped attribute, then you get the behaviour you
    are observing where the DropList defaults to showing nothing until the
    user makes a selection. It's kind of an odd behaviour, but you can
    take advantage of it in cases where you want to force something to be
    selected by the user, but you don't want an initial default.

  • Q: Creating a drop list with dynamic content?

    Hi,
    Like to start off by saying that I am new to this so be gentle...
    I want to create a JSP which contains a search form.
    To limit the search options I want to present some of
    them as drop lists with pre-defined values.
    As the drop list values need to be easiliy updated
    I want to be able to control the content (using a servlet or a JB).
    What would be the best way of implementing this?
    Examples would be helpful.
    Regrads
    //Jimmy

    This is pretty easy to do. All you have to do is below:
    In the option tags place the jsp variable:
    <option><%=variable%></option>
    Good Luck,

  • LabVIEW 2011 quick drop ctrl-key shortcuts don't work

    I've noticed that none of the Ctrl-Key shortcuts used in the Quick Drop menu work.  For example, Ctrl-T doesn't move the terminal labels and Ctrl-R won't remove and rewire.  Is there a hidden setting that I have missed?
    Thanks!
    CLD Certified

    I am just now encountering the same problem, only renaming the INI file didn't do the trick like above. As a matter of fact, the INI key "QuickDropKeyboardShortcutMappings" doesn't even exist in either the renamed (bak) or the newly created ini file.
    Since I have grown to rely on the handy QD shortcuts this is starting to really annoy me...
    I have checked that I can open all the files in the respective LV version (using 2011+2013 and sometimes got these mixed up with the newly saved shortcut VIs when distributing them to all the 4 LV-Quickdrop folders (x86 and x64)).
    Funny thing is, the VI lists in the QD plugins folder and the DQ window, shortcut tab, greatly differ, see pictures attached. Any hints? Otherwise I am going to reinstall since a repair didn't help either. Tried that already as well.

  • Some apps won´t update on iP 5

    A few apps won´t install during update in App Store on my iP5.
    I have tried to kill them from running before trying to update - but they are grey and not possible to stop running.  Also not found when searching for them (swipe left from home page) - so impossible to delete.....
    Yes - i have tried to shut odd my phone

    Same for me.  I've also tried rebooting, etc, it doesn't help. 
    As resetting completely is not an option for rme, i found one thing that sorta helps...  I make sure the store isn't running, then I launch it, then tap Updates, and then frantically tap where Update All will be.  It works maybe one out of 5 times I try, and then that works until the iPad thinks it is running out of storage space and the cycle begins again...
