Subvi VI Properties - Dialog Open when required

Hi,
I have a subvi with Settings for my main vi. Using an event structure, I am detecting value change to spawn dialog for the user be able to change settings like path to file etc.
If not, I want defaults from that subvi to load automatically. If the user changes settings the first time, then I want those settings to be carried forward when the application is run even after two days. I dont want to right click on FP control and choose "Make current value default". I want what the user chose during run time to become the default until the user changes it again. Attached is the subvi that will open as a dialog when change settings icon is pressed on main vi.Thanks!
I may not be perfect, but I'm all I got!

By default, the 3d interface & dialog opens when the 3d option is selected. i forgot the question HA

by default, the 3d interface & dialog opens when the 3d option is selected. (ya know, the grid on the artboard; 3d tools...etc...) I must have checked the box for it to never appear, because it doesn't appear and I'm not skilled enough with CC to operate Photoshop without it. My question is how would i enable this manually?

Print dialog opens automatically

Using Acrobat Pro 9.5.2
I have a two-page form. I only desire to print page two of the form upon a mouse up button event. I thought I had used this before:
this.print({bUI: true, nStart: 1, nEnd: 1});
But this causes the print dialog to open when the PDF is opened. How do I only have the dialog open when the button on page 2 is clicked?
Thank you, Mike

Hello try67,
As mentioned in the original post, it is on the mouse up event of the button:
The print dialog opens when the PDF is opened with the above.

How can I open the "Pane Properties Dialog Box", without right-clicking on the scrollbar of the pane?

To open the "Pane Properties Dialog Box" the LabVIEW Help suggest following:
"Right-click in the scrollbar of a pane and select Properties from the shortcut menu to display this dialog box."
The Problem is that I would like to switch off the scrollbars, which once done, means I can't right-click on the scrollbar anymore !
There must be a different way to get to this Menu, too ?!

Typically, you would hide the scrollbars only when running, and in this case there is no problem. I guess you should keep at least one of the scrollbars visible in edit mode.
Once both scrollbars are hidden, you can restore them using the "VI properties...windows appearance...customize" dialog.

Properties bar always opens when drawing a rectangle?

Everytime I use the rectangle tool, the properties bar opens on the right hand side (like this: http://prntscr.com/37tcpg) and it gets really annoying when I'm trying to draw loads of rectangles because I don't really use it and it can get in the way of the image. Is there a way to stop it opening everytime? It didn't do it in CS6 but in CC it does.

After you draw out your rectangle shape, go the flyout menu on the Properties panel and uncheck Show on Shape Creation.

How to display remote front panels of subvis that are already open

I inherited an RT project that uses remote front panels for nearly all the user interfaces. The host application opens a remote front panel the the top level RT vi, and there are several subvis on the RT system that are opened from that top level vi and thus displayed on the host (i.e. their "Show Front Panel When Called" properties are set TRUE).
If the Host loses its connection to the RT system when any subvi front panels are opened, and the host application is restarted, it can re-open the top level vi remote front panel, but all the RT subvis that are already open will not display their front panels. I am looking for a way to open the front panels to these subvis from the host application.
The kicker is, I need to know which subvis are actually running before I attempt to open remote front panels. Is there any way to determine what subvis are actively running (and not just in memory, such as subvis that won't get executed until the top level vi reaches a certain state)? I am thinking that I could create a list of the subvis that I need access to, check to see if any are actively running on the RT system, and then invoke a remote front panel connection with those that are running.
Does anyone have any ideas as to how I might be able to do so? Or any other suggestions? [and yes, I know that RFP communication is probably not the best way to go, but we're too entrenched in this software to start over with a new system!]

It might be possible to work around this behavior by placing VI invoke nodes in your top level VI that reference each of your subvis and setting the Wait Until Done invoke method to false. This should cause the subvi to close when the top level VI closes even in the case of an unexpected restart.
You can access this invode node in the functions pallet by selecting Application Control » Invoke Node and also selecting Application Control » Static VI reference. Wire the Static VI Reference to the vi reference input node and double click the Static VI Reference and select the appropriate subvi in the dialog window. Left click on the Method section of the invoke node and select Run VI. Finally right click on the Wait Until Done invoke method and select Create Constant and ensure this constant is set to false.

You can access this information by using the Real-Time System Manager (Tools » Real-Time Module » System Manager). This can be used to show what VIs and subvis are loaded into memory and which are running.

Error trapping for 'Save' dialog open?

I'm writing a program which will do an extensive amount of work in Photoshop, and I'm trying to make sure it's as idiot-proof as possible. Before starting the image editing code, I want to make sure the user hasn't left any dialogs open in Photoshop, so I can show them a warning and cancel the application. I have found that attempting to get any properties of the application (e.g. version, document count, build, etc.) will throw an error if the user has the 'Open' dialog showing, but if they have the 'Save' dialog open, there is no error. Is there any reliable way to determine if the user has left Photoshop in a state where it will cause problems executing code?
My script is currently written in Applescript, but will hopefully be someday rewritten in Javascript, so I'd be interested in any suggestions in either language with preference leaning towards Javascript.

Well, they just keep on amazing me. And it doesn't seem like they went to any great lengths to do so either.
During this 'exercise' I just kept thinking I'd eventually find something that would throw an error while the dialog was up...
"Well, I shouldn't be able to do _____."
"...well, I certainly won't be able to do _____..."
"...ok, there's absolutely no way I would be able to ____."
...I thought being able to alter the document was bad enough - but you can even CLOSE the document you are trying to save from an external script!! ...and you are guaranteed a crash when you click the 'save' button at that point.
The only thing I have come across so far which doesn't seem to work with the save as dialog open is opening another document. And even that doesn't throw an error - it just hangs the script (no change with 'try/on error...", no change with 'with timeout...")
...oh, well. It's almost 5:00 on a Friday. I think I'll just go home feeling defeated.

Can i place controls from the properties dialog of an express vi on the front panel?

I'm using the spectral measurements express vi in my vi and I'd like to put the "window" and "number of averages" controls from the properties dialog on the front panel. However, there are not outputs on the express vi icon for these parameters. Can I place controls for these on the front panel somehow or do I always have to go into the block diagram and open the properties dialog to change the values?

The way to do this is to right click on the express VI and select Open Front Panel. This will convert it to a standard subVI. then go into the subVI and replace the Spectrum Averaging and Spectrum Window constants to front panel controls by right click on them. Right click the icon and select Show Connector. Wire the new controls to a free terminal on the connector. You may have to add additional terminals if there aren't any available to wire to the new controls.

VI Properties dialog is slow

Has anyone experienced this with LV 8.5? I have a large project open, and when I try to pull up the "VI Properties" dialog box it takes between 10 to 15 seconds to open. It is a large DSC-based project (whether that has any relevance).
Thanks,
David Moerman

Hi Yi
I am currently using LV7.1.1f2 on three different machines, each with Daq 4.3 or 4.4. (The reason I am not using 8.5 is I am awaiting a graph bug fix). Each has WXP SP2 with latest updates. This slow opening of VI Properties dialog box has bedeviled me for years. Until today, I have just lived with it, getting frustrated each time. I have found that it appears randomly on different machines (I have used perhaps 15-20 with LV). Today I decided to see if anyone else has the same problem. Here are my findings:
1. Laptop (Dell M90, Intel dual core, 2 GB Ram) (See SysProps file, attached): It does not matter whether the CPU is idle or not, not what the size of the VI is. I created two empty VIs (A and B). Each time I rt clicked the icon and selected VI Properties, then timed it to see how long it took for the dialog box to appear. (I later I emptied the recycle bin - no change).
Test1
Open Vi A: Delay = 5 sec
Wait about 1 sec
Open Vi A: Delay = <1 sec
Wait about 1 sec
Open Vi A: Delay = <1 sec
Wait about 1 sec
Open Vi A: Delay = <1 sec
Wait about 1 sec
Open Vi A: Delay = 5 sec
Wait about 1 sec
Open Vi A: Delay = <1 sec
Wait about 1 sec
Open Vi A: Delay = <1 sec
Wait about 1 sec
Open Vi A: Delay = 5 sec
Test2
Open Vi A: Delay = 5 sec
Wait about 10 sec
Open Vi A: Delay = 5 sec
Wait about 10 sec
Open Vi A: Delay = 5 sec
Wait about 10 sec
Open Vi A: Delay = 5 sec
Wait about 10 sec
Open Vi A: Delay = 5 sec
Test3
Open Vi A: Delay = 5 sec
Wait about 1 sec
Open Vi B: Delay = <1 sec
Wait about 1 sec
Open Vi B: Delay = <1 sec
Wait about 1 sec
Open Vi B: Delay = <1 sec
Wait about 1 sec
Open Vi B: Delay = 5 sec
Wait about 1 sec
Open Vi A: Delay = <1 sec
Wait about 1 sec
Open Vi A: Delay = <1 sec
Wait about 1 sec
Open Vi A: Delay = 5 sec
Conclusions:
1. If one waits longer than say 5 sec between trying to open Vi Props, the delay is always present.
2. If one opens the VI props on same or another VI within a second or so, the delay disappears for a few times (2-4 maybe) then reappears.
2. Desktop PCs: Both AMD Dual Core 4200 XPs.
No delay in opening VI properties in either case. In one case, the PC was running a bunch of LV apps which were using 30% of the total CPU%. The VI Props Dialog box still opened instantly, many times in a row, or first time after a long delay.

Flash Pro CS 5.5 will only open when I open as Admin

For some reason Flash Pro CS 5.5 will only open when I open as Admin. If I try to open it normaly or by clicking on a fla nothing happens except a program called WerFault.exe and Flash.exe show up in my Task Manager then close. I get no report that something is wrong though I know werfult is window's problem reporting program. When I open as admin Flash Pro works fine so I do not understand what is going on. It worked fine yesterday and I have made no installations or updates since then.
Any suggestions?

Sounds like you installed it for standard users, you use a standard user account and you changed something while you were logged on as an admin. If you did anything as an admin to make a file Flash writes (configs, etc) then they can become unable to be utilized again by anything other than the administrator.
As administrator, you can right-click on a folder, open up properties, use the security tab, advanced at bottom, owner tab at top, edit button, select your username, check "Replace owner on all subcontainers and objects" then apply and keep hitting apply/ok. That will reset ownership of all the files back to the user you designate which shouldn't require administrator privs.
Additionally, as administraotor, you can go in properties->security tab->edit button, select your user and make sure they have full control permissions.
