Subvi access label of input wire

Hi
is there a way to access the name/label of an input wire connected to a vi (or an XControl for that matter)?
as an example: I would like to have an vi that takes a double as input and returns a string with "The wire with the label %s has the value %f".
Up to now I had to use two inputs and wire the double into one and the output of the openG function "get data name" to the other. Works too, but I would like to move the functionality into the subvi if possible.
Thanks
Arun

This is similar to what I want, but not exactly it. I would like to use only one input and if possible be able to use the wire I want directly and not use a reference to it.
One reason for this is that I want to be able to use this in a XControl-indicator which only can have one input AFAIK. I know that I could get around it by just adding a property node for the name of the wire to the XControl, but then I always need to change things at two places in the code and I rather would avoid that... It also would need more space on the block diagram...
Another reason is that I would like to use it on wires that have a label in labview, but are not necessary indicators or controls, in which case I'm not sure if you can get a reference or a property node from them... say I have a cluster of data and then use uncluster by name to access one of them and would like that to be plugged into the subvi (see example.vi in attachement; uses openG... this also doesn't do exactly what I want, since when I change the label of the wire, it still puts out the name of the control).
I'm not that familiar with references though, is there a way to programatically get a reference (e.g. a vi that has double in and a ref to that double as output)? In that case I could modify your vi, so that it only takes a reference as input (and uses the value property inside to access its value, see modification of your vis in the attachment): and then would use
double->vi: input to ref-> vi: name+value to string
I guess my question is, if you can access any attribute apart from the value of an input of a subvi?
cheers

How To Create a SubVi and Limit Required Inputs

Hello,
Description:
I have created a VI that reads in voltage values from the NI USB-6008 device. After putting that value into a formula, I compare the new value with an array of data and output a corresponding value (this is not too important for the problem).
Problem:
The VI currently works great. My goal is to make it into a SubVi that can read in various channels and output their values. However, when I attempt to make a subVi thourgh Edit>>Create SubVi, the subVi created requires many inputs because of the many controls I utilize in the VI.
What I want to do:
Is there any way to use the default values of the controls in the SubVi and not require the user to input each control's value into the SubVi? Or, do I have to change my controls to be constants?
Any assitance would be greatly appreciated.

You don't have to create a subvi by using the Edit - Create Subvi button. Any vi can be a subvi. Go to the front panel, right click on the icon in the top right corner, select show connector. Figure out how many inputs and outputs you want to connect to the main vi. Right click on the connector pane and select Patterns, then the pattern that fits your needs. If you want to have the main send a channel and have the subvi send an output, choose the 4 connector pane pattern. Put Error In and Error Out clusters on your front panel. Wire the channel input control to the top left terminal of the connector pane, the output indicator to the top right connector, the Error In to the bottom left, and Error Out to the bottom right. It is good to use the Error In and Out to indicate errors and to help control execution order through data flow. Save the vi. In your main block diagram, go to functions - Select a VI, and select the vi you just saved, which now becomes a subvi to the main. You can wire a control to the new subvi top left, and so on...

Controlling the space between label and Input field in SELECT-OPTION

Hi ,
I am using WDR_SELECT_OPTIONS as a used component in order to dynamically generate the Select option in my WD Component.
Can any one tell me if there is a way to control the spacing between Label and Input field? This is because rest of the UI elements are in one particular order but for this dynamically generated UI.
Please help me.
Thanks,
Kavitha

Hi Kavitha,
The label is required for accessibility reasons. It's not possible to remove it and to use your own label from outside the component to point to it. Labels cannot point to targets across views (and hence acress component) boundaries.
Best regards,
Thomas

I have an iPhone 5s and i've been noticing that my phone would go into Do Not Disturb mode at night. So I looked under settings, and there was a profile labeled "Consumer Input" and then I noticed DND was set for 10pm-7am. Does anyone know what caused it?

You downloaded a profile from somewhere. If it's not one you want or need, delete it.

Labelling wires can be made easy ..!! Take the control Name as default - Label Name for wire

Wire : Right Click --> Visbile --> Label (Its void Now )
Solution : It can take the control Name as default label of the wire, instead of being Void
Not sure if this idea is already proposed.

sandyy wrote:
Ya true, in the above case it should take the indicator Label
It's just as easy to construct a case where there are multiple sinks to the wire and then you can't just say "take the indicator label". My point was that I don't want NI spending time on figuring that out and writing that code.
As for your second example, now there's suddenly even more magic in there - The wire labels somehow gained the brackets and the wires which have an uninitialized shift register as a source somehow know that they should take the labels from other wires in the loop.
If you think the logic for this is simple, you can try writing a Quick Drop shortcut which will do this - for all selected elements which are wires, go find their ultimate source and take its label and apply it to the wire. I think if you try that you'll appreciate why I don't want NI to spend time on this. You might also find that the tool you wrote works well enough for you and you can use it right now without having to wait for NI.

SubVI: Access IOs and Frontpanel

I have a problem accessing the io-interface (Input and Output on the
Symbol) and the frontpanel. I have a main-vi which loads other sub-vi's
and displays there frontpanel in a tab-widget ("registerkarte" in
german)and i also have to connect there ios.
can anybody give me a help how to handle this.
Max

I'm not sure exactly what your problem is. Can you not wire front panel controls and indicators to subVIs or is it something else? Further explanation would be helpful and if you could attach the main VI and subVIs that would help too.

Accessing label in another class?

I don't know how to create the instance, which class to create the instance in why I want to create this instance and what this instance does really?

You don't want a new instance -- that would be an entirely different label, and not have any effect on what you're doing. What you want is a reference to the object you're changing.
What I would suggest is that you make sure only StopWatch can change its own label, say, with a method setTime(). Then, any other object that has a reference to that instance of StopWatch can call that method, and StopWatch will control the changing of its own components.
However, you're dealing with multithreading issues here, too, which is another beast. When you have two threads talking to each other you've got some things you need to take into account, such as synchronization. I'd say try to get this to work within a single thread first -- maybe have a button inside StopWatch that sets its own time.

How to label/name a wire output from a case diagram

I like how Labview displays the "name" of a wire - when it shows the right name! Sometimes when a wire leaves a Case diagram, I notice it has the name of the wire in one case when I would prefer it to have the name from one of the other cases, and I wonder if I have worked out which case it uses - the last case. The problem is that the typical Boolean Case diagram only has 2 cases, and you can't re-arrange the cases, except if you add a dummy case, rearrange, then delete the dummy case. The attached VI illustrates the difference in the name of the blue wire (use the mouse hovering over the wire to see it). (LV 8.2.1)
I think it would be nice if we could label the output tunnel of case diagrams (and hence the wire emerging from it). It wouldn't need to be a visible label, but it would help to document the code. What do you think?

Changing button label;JSP; input type="submit" name="jboEvent" value="Search"

Hello everybody,
I try to develop a multilanguage application in which the button labels will change accordingly with the browser's regional settings.
The line in the generated DataQueryComponent.jsp file is the following:
<input type="submit" name="jboEvent" value="Search">
If I want to change the value like value="Rechercher" the application will not execute the query.
In fact the section
<jbo:ViewCriteriaIterate datasource="dsQuery" >
</jbo:ViewCriteriaIterate>
is not executed.
I tried to generate the button with:
<input type="submit" name="jboEvent" value="Rechercher" onClick="this.value='Search'"> ,
but for a long query the name Search will remain as button label on the screen.
Any new solutions, please?
Thanks in advance.

Please Help. How to access to an input field in a table with javascript

Hi
i�m trying to access to the content of an input field that is in an table with a javascript function in this way
function Valida_Tabla()
var centro = document.getElementById("form1:idcentro").value;
alert("Centro es ["+centro+"]")
var des = document.getElementById("form1:table1:0:textField2").value;
alert("des ["+des+"]")
The fisrt alert is ok and displays the value of a field that is in a table.
The second alert is not displayed.
Is the syntax wrong?
what i�m doing wrong
Please help

The best bet is to look at the source of the generated HTML and then use the exactly generated ID in the HTML source. When I looked at the HTML source I see the ID of a textfied inside a table as
form1:table1:tableRowGroup1:0:tableColumn1:textField1
