Setting control to default value when it is a strict type def

If my subVI has a control that happens to be a strict type defined cluster and I have saved the values in the control as the default values, how can I change them back to the default values of the type def (which are empty).  Because it is a strict type definition, i cannot click on the elements inside the cluster and modify them (e.g. click on an array inside the cluster and do an empty array operation.)
In the attached screenshot, the control "BLE Meters To Test" is just an array of clusters and I was able to empty the array.  The control "Capture Data" is a strict type def.  I would like to clear the contents of this control without having to delete the control and add it back with a new instance of the same strict type def.

are you talking about edit mode or run mode?
You could temporarily add a second instance of the typedef (all empty), then change it to a constant. Whenver you need to reset at run time, write the new digram constant to a local variable of the control.

Make sure to click on the array container, not on the array elements.

  • How can I change the numeric and enum default values in a Strict Type Def Cluster?

    I have a Strict Type Def cluster that contains 10 Numerical controls and a number of enums.  I have edited default values of the numerical controls in the Strict Type Def, in customize mode, performed a "Make Current Values Default"  and have done a "Apply Changes"  and saved.
    This cluster is used in various locations throughout the project and have not found a way to make the cluster default values change downstream.  The Strict Type Def (STD) Control appears to have the right values on the front panel.  But if I place an instance of this on a blank front panel, and run a wire from it in the block diagram with a probe and indicator, I still get the old default values being passed from the STD.

    There Are No Strict Type Definition Constants
    "Even though typedefs only update when types change, instances get cosmetic changes from the definition whenever they update. So one trick to "push" changes to typedef instances is to change the data type, apply changes, and then change the data type back. [edit, March 26 - Note that the typedef instances need to be in memory when you use this trick]."

  • Report Builder 2.0 loses parameter Null default value when deployed

    When a parameter is set to a default value of (Null) and the report is saved to the sever, the default is lost when the report is re-opened in RB2.  This problem doesn't seem to occur in BIDS.  I've tried to use an expression to set the value to System.DBNull but this can no longer be done.
    Any ideas for a work-around?
    Is there a bug report open for this?  I couldn't find an open bug on the Connections site and there's an issue on that site right now when submitting feedback.Paul Turley [Hitachi Consulting]

    Hi All,
    I just had an almost identical issue using report builder 3.0 so I don't believe it is fixed. I had 4 parameters set to default to (Null) and I added a new one with identical settings but it would continually come up blank and not check the null box automatically
    when going into my sub report.
    To make matters worse I experimented changing one of the old parameters and it then started exhibiting the same behaviour. Using Luke's post above solved the issue (though it was Manage in my version not Administrate).
    Using System.DBNull.Value resulted in it being treated as a literal string "System.DBNull.Value" and putting that in the filter for me.
    Hope it helps.

  • HOW TO SET A ITEM DEFAULT VALUE  to today

    I have a item using select list and I like to set this item default value as
    today's date , such as "select to_char(sysdate,'YYYY-MM-DD') from dual"
    HTMLDB failed recongnize the default value, or throw error Error ERR-9132 Error in PLSQL expression for item default code, ...". I have tried each of 3 avaialable Default Value Types
    Per http://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=443287, it is used to be doable, but the default value type (sql) is no longer avaialble in HTMLDB 2.0
    I would appreaciate it very much if anyone has successfully done this before, either set to today or current month

    Ching - Did you try a PL/SQL Expression using to_char(sysdate,'YYYY-MM-DD')?
    There have been no changes to the item default types available in HTML DB. The thread you referenced is for Oracle Portal, a separate and unrelated product.

  • How to assign a default value when there is no prompted value

    Dear all,
    I create a filter and it's value is relate to a prompt.If the prompt is not fill I found that all record is selected.
    How did I assign a default value so that when I didn't fill some value in to the prompt and still can get the result by
    the default value I set?
    Thanks a lot!

    Are you using dates for between or some character column?
    Post your example.
    Instead of between use to is equal prompts, so u will have then 2 fields one for date from a nd one for date to. Everything is the same as I wrote just repeat steps...
    You must put 2 separate fields if you are using date between and you want to have default variable for both.
    Column formula for the first calendar date prompt:
    case when 1=2 then TIMES.TIME_ID else cast ('1.1.1900' as date) end
    and for the second:
    case when 1=2 then TIMES.TIME_ID else cast ('1.1.2900' as date) end
    Now you set up default repository variable for both prompts.
    Presentation variable you put in the set presentation variable on each prompt:
    p_date_from
    p_date_to
    And in Answers filter will be like this:
    *TIMES.TIME_ID between @{p_date_from}{VALUEOF("rv_test_date_to_char")} and @{p_date_to}{VALUEOF("rv_test_date_to_char")}*
    or you can put a different default variables
    *TIMES.TIME_ID between @{p_date_from}{VALUEOF("rv_test_date_to_char_from")} and @{p_date_to}{VALUEOF("rv_test_date_to_char_to")}*
    I posted similar in my blog:
    Date between in filter and title when using presentation variable from calendar dashboard prompt or drop-down list in OBIEE

  • Set Radio Group Default Value Based on a Select List Change Event

    Apex 4.2
    I have a radio group that is source is below. It returns 3 radio group item All,Miv,Courier
    SELECT type d, code r FROM vw_lov_depot
      WHERE svc_name = :P320_DEPOT
      ORDER BY 1
    The radio group is only populated when :P320_DEPOT gets a value, this is a select list.
    I am trying to set the radio group to  default to this value Miv it would use the statement
    SELECT type d, code r FROM vw_lov_depot
      WHERE svc_name = :P320_DEPOT
      and type ='Miv'
      ORDER BY 1
    I have tried creating a dynamic action on Select list change to populate the default value of the radio group...no joy I also tried a computation. how can I set this default value on when list changed.
    Thanks
    I have got the default Radio Group Selection working by doing a computation before region on the radio group and calling its select statement and setting the value. But the problem is now I cannot change the radtio group as I do it fire the before region trigger and sets it back to the default value....any help?

  • How to set the radiogroup default value?

    I have created a radiogroup named P521_SIZE_NUM(Dealsize, DealNum) and want DealSize is checked when the page is showed. how can I set default value in the page Definition?

    If you made a radio group off of the following static LOV:
    STATIC2:One;1,Two;2,Three;3if you set the default value of your radio group to 2, the radio button with the label Two will be selected. You have to make sure to set the default value to the actual return value not the display value.

  • Programitically Reinitialize Specific Front Panel Controls To Default Values

    Hi everyone, I know I can re-initialize "all" controls to their default values using an Invoke Mode.  How do I re-initialize only specific controls I want to re-initialize to their default value?  Basically, I want to re-initialize all the controls except for one control.  I want to do this during run-time of the VI.
    Thanks so much! 

    In your situation, I would probably just reinitialize all and then immediately set the value of that one control.  Your alternative is to use the Reinitialize Value method for each and every control except that one.  You could do this in a FOR loop easily enough.

  • How to setup a default value when defining (prompting) for a value?

    When I prompt the user in a SQL statement then I can declare a default value like in:
    SELECT *
    FROM all_users
    WHERE username = nvl('&myvariable','SYSTEM');
    But when I define a variable this does not work:
    define tablename=nvl('&tablename','test123')
    How can I setup a default value here?

    Is there a way to define a default value DIRECTLY in SQLplus DEFINE command (and not later when the value is used in SQL statement)?no, there is not for DEFINE but you can use ACCEPT:
    SQL> accept tablename prompt 'Enter value for table Name:' default EMP
    Enter value for table Name:
    SQL> select column_name
      2  from cols
      3  where table_name='&tablename';
    OrderNumber=1234
    COLUMN_NAME
    EMPNO

    INTIALIZATION.
    s_yywrpc-low = 'MSPG'.
    s_yywrpc-sign = 'I'.
    s_yywrpc-option = 'EQ'.
    append s_yywrpc.
    s_yywrpc-low = 'MSP'.

    do it all for the values.

  • Control Value:Set [Variant] Method - how can i use this with strict type definitions?

    I want to pass default values to a strict type definition from a mainVI to a subVI, but I'm not allowed to use the "Control Valueet [Variant] Method" invoke node to do it.  How else can I achieve this?
    thanks,
    Z

    Hi Z,
    If you use strict type defintion references you can use Call by reference Node. Depending on the connector pane for the subvi which is referenced you just wire your data to the corresponding terminals. I attach an easy example which dynamically opens and writes to an arbitary number of a template.
    Hope it helps

  • How to set a 3 default values for a dependent key flexfield

    hi,
    I have an inquiry in oracle applications 11i - Oracle General Ledger module, Accounting Key flexfield structure.
    we have an independent key segment PROJECT and a dependent key segment SUB-PROJECT.
    Can we define 3 dependent value for the SUB-PROJECT to be the default for any new entered value in the PROJECT segment??
    e.g creating 3 default SUB-PROJECT values: X, Y, and Z. Any new value entered to the PROJECT key segment will have X, Y and Z by default as it's SUB-PROJECTS.
    If the above scenario is possible, please guide me to the best solution...
    Thank you...

    I can find that the value set of any dependent value set has only one room for a default value.
    What are the implications of creating a new Independent value set and assign it to the SubProject segment, on historical data and reports?
    thank you...

  • How to set radio group default value

    Hi,
    I have a radio group in a portal form. How do I set one of them as checked when the form comes up?
    Thanks;
    Kelly.

    It might be possible with javascript. since a radio group is an array, you should loop
    through the index to set the correct
    checked value.

  • Unable to set up the default value in custom object 10,related item section

    Hi,
    Please help me out for the below issue
    Custom Object 10 we renamed to Quarterly Broker Review .In Quarterly Broker Review there is a related item section 'Activity'.
    In Quarterly Broker Review ,Activity related Section ,After clicking on The 'New Task' button 'Account Name' field in Quarterly Broker Review(Parent ) should be prefilled in the Activity Section(Related Item Section) in Account Name Field
    'Account Name' field is a Picklist Read Only field.
    Since it is a picklist read only field i couldn't write the expression in the 'Activity' Related section under 'Account Name' field
    you can also help me by reaching at '[email protected]'
    Thanks,
    Srinivas Merugu

    Hi Srinivas,
    As you know, you can refer to a field in a different object by using JoinFieldValue function. But this function is not available for all the object references. If you refer online help for JoinFieldValue function you would notice that from activity only CustomObjects 1,2 an 3 can be referenced using this function.
    If this is possible for the activity and CustomObject 10 then you go to the field named Account Id in Activity object and set a default value. I guess in the parent object "CustomObject10" Account Id will also be stored in "Account: Integration ID". So this field value can be copied into the Account Id field of Activity.
    Instead you could write a web service program to achieve this.
    Thanks
