System Colors in Color Box Constant

Hi,
I want to know how LabVIEW handles the values of system colors in case of a system change. For example:
I develop a VI on "System A" and choose the system color "Window" in the Color Box Constant. Now I run the VI on another "System B".
Retrieves LabVIEW now the system color "Window of "System B" or retrieves LabVIEW a fixed value from moment of development on "System A"?
Kind regards

It uses whatever colors are the system colors for the machine it is actually running on. So it would uses the colors from system B.
Likewise for fonts. If you uses any of the symbolic fonts like dialog, application, ... and they are tied back to the system fonts of dialog, application, menu (I might have those names wrong or mixed up) by way of LabVIEW's or the exe's "app" .ini file, it will use whatever the Windows fonts are. This can cause problems for an application where the front panel was sized based on an older OS where the system fonts were different and smaller when the app gets run on a newer OS such as Win7 where the font is something else, but also larger by a point or two.

Background color of check box

Hi All,
I have one doubt.Suppose I have a lot of records.With in the same block I have Check boxes adjecent to records.
I write a Pre-Block trigger:
Set_Block_Property(:system.CURRENT_BLOCK,current_record_attribute,'GP_V_YELLOW');
Post-Block Trigger::
Set_Block_Property(:system.CURRENT_BLOCK,current_record_attribute,'GP_V_WHITE');
My question is I never want to change the background color of check box.How to do it.
Any Ideas,
Thanks,

How can I change the color of a box in book layout?

I am try to change the color of a photo box when making a book.
Will the box print? and if so how can I change the color
Thank you
Mark

The box will print... but there is no way to just assign a color to a box. The closest you can get is ot create a small solid colored image in Photoshop and assign that to the box. You may get a resolution warning but as long as it's a solid color it does not matter how few pixels you have.

InDesign won't print colors in text boxes

I have been working on a newsletter that includes some charts and tables in it. I put the tables and charts in a text box, and then added a background fill color to it. I exported the document to PDF, and the colors showed up there fine.
The trouble occurs when I try to print the document. The fill color in the box does not show up at all. What can I do to fix that. Thanks for the help.

This sounds more like an issue with the printer driver and the PDF than an InDesign issue, but one way to test would be to try to print direct from ID. Do the colors print correctly then?
What do you see in Acrobat when you turn on Overprint Preview? Is the color still there?
Can you post this PDF on a server someplace so we can download and test it?

Change color for validation box

Hi,
I am using JDev 11.1.1.6.0.
If i have required="true" validation on an input text, Red color box surrounds and shows the validation.
Is there any way to change the color of that box?
Thanks

If there is any you have to use skinning. For this you have to find out which selector is used for the box. You can disable the style compression in your web.xml and run the app, then when you see the box use firebug or any other tool which allows to inspect the page elements. If you select the box you should see the style class names. They normally are the same as the corresponding skin selectors (there is a syntax difference, but you get it when you see it )

Color and Color Management boxes in Print Settings greyed out. Using PS CS5.1 with Mac OSX 10.9.5.

For some reason, the above boxes are now greyed out when I go to Print Settings and I am getting prints that are badly distorted. Was working perfectly a few days ago and can't understand why this has suddenly happened ? Am now confused as to what settings I should have in the Color Management dialogue box in order to get back to the correct operation.

I've also been having this problem. My computer now consistently shuts down between 10 seconds and 2 minutes of startup. This only happens if my computer is not plugged in. (my battery has been between 70-90% the entire time.) If I keep it plugged in...no problems.

I have a really easy solution to this, I just tried it out and it worked perfectly. You cannot set the background to the box, but you can set it to the frame(this), and panels. so why dont you do the following:
1)just create a panel
2)add the "Box" that you have to the panel
3) set the background of the panel
it works good for me

How can I change background color in parameter box

Hi all,
I would like to change back ground color of parameters box from blue to other color.
where i have change?
see attached screenshot.
please help me
Thanks in advance for your support

Hello,
I don't think this is documented in BIP's manuals.
All you will find regarding "changing the colour" is related to conditional formatting
see section 3.8.3.5 About Conditional Formats from Fusion Middleware Report Designer's Guide for Oracle Business Intelligence Publisher
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E28280_01/bi.1111/e22254/create_lay_tmpl.htm#cond_format
If you open a service request to support we can open an enhancement request with Development.
If this will be approved, you can have this option implemented in future versions.

Is monitor calibration the same as setting color profile in System Preferences Monitor Color?

I understand monitor calibration using something llike X-Rite or Gretag, but what about the sRGB/Adobe RGB/Generic thing in System preferences>Monitor>Color? Is the latter for printing purposes? What should I select when doing post processing on Adobe Lightroom or Photoshop Elements?

{quote:}After working on my photographs in Lightroom and setting them to Jpegs, I take them to a printshop (semi professional). Would the personal setting on my iMac make any differences to him for printing???{quote}
Yes your Display Profile will slightly affect your finished product, but if that RGB profile is working for you then don't try and fix it. However if you do professional or semi professional work, then you might want to consider using professional calibration tools to calibrate your display.
See > http://www.lightroomkillertips.com/
{quote:}What do you use most on your iMac?{quote}
I only do amateur photo work and then print them on an Epson printer. When editing and printing photos, I use the Epson sRGB Display Profile that was installed along with my Epson software and always get great results.

What do the colored wires and boxes mean

I remember years back finding a National Instruments webpage that showed all the Labview colored "wires" and "boxes" and what they meant. Does anyone know where that is now and/or if it still exsists?? For example a "magenta" box was a string...green was a boolean..
Thanks.

It was the LabVIEW Quick Reference Card. At one point they stopped putting the datatypes on the card. Not sure which version stopped it. You can get the cards online: http://search.ni.com/nisearch/app/main/p/bot/no/ap/global/lang/en/pg/1/q/labview%20quick%20reference...

Load text and color into text box

I am trying to create code that will load text from an external file and change the background of a text box when a button is clicked.
When I compile the movie and click the button some text appears in the text box but not the text I was extecting and there is no color change.
The output panel displays the following message
"Fonts should be embedded for any text that may be edited at runtime, other than text with the "Use Device Fonts" setting. Use the Text > Font Embedding command to embed fonts"
So far I am just trying to get the blue button to work
This is the code

var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
function textLoad(file:String, color:uint):void{
          loader.load(new URLRequest(file));
          colorText.backgroundColor = color;
loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, displayText);
function displayText(e:Event):void{
          colorText.text = loader.data;

As far as the text goes, embed the font for the textfield ti get rid of the warning.
If you are not getting the background color to change, did you give your textfield a background to begin with? The code you have to change its color will work if it has a background.

How do I auto set stroke weight, stroke colors & fill color?

Hi,
I'd like to make it easier for our 100,000 designers to use AI to make custom products using a laser cutter.
Current Practice
Designers open our AI laser cutting design templates, add their designs using the AI settings our online pricing system can read, then upload their designs to our website for instant pricing, making and shipping.
The Problem
Designers have to manually setup AI with settings that can be read by our online pricing system. If they get these settings wrong, our system can not read their designs. So they are rejected and can not be priced or made. This happens more often that you'd imagine.
The Solution
Designers do not like design rejections. So I'd like to eradicate them by providing our designers with a version of AI that provides the following settings only:
* Set document to RGB
* Stroke weight = 0.01mm
* Stroke colors = RGB 0, 0, 255 and 255, 0, 0
* Fill color = RGB 0, 0, 0
This will mean designers have a very limited number of AI choices, with nothing to distract them or to get wrong. Which will result in less (or zero?) design rejections. And products made faster than before. Rejoice!
Question
How do we program our AI laser cutting design templates so that when they are opened in AI, they auto set AI settings as defined above?
Thanks so much.

Your first point - yes, that's what our system does currently. As a result designers get lots of 'how to fix' messages as a result of design rejections. We wish to reduce these rejections and resulting 'how to fix' messages by limiting their choices in AI - because this is where the problems are created.
Ok, yeah gotcha, so customers/designers think they do it right (cough/laugh) upload, then get surprised to find out they didn't by your upload system. That's kind of what I thought. I feel your pain. ;-) I sense you want to reduce this aspect to keep the customers/designers happy and thinking they do nothing but work magic all day right? ;-) So you don't want to lose customers in the midst of frustration of file rejection thinking there files are right and your system is certainly wrong, when in fact it's the opposite. Good luck explaining that to a designer however, right? ;-)
Ponoko wrote:
Your second point - You go on to talk about using a complex "action" we could distribute within the design templates. Although I suspect this is different, the path we're thinking is to include something in the templates that, when imported into AI, sets AI with the color palette we need, line weight we need. Possible?
As Monika hinted at you can't rigidly restrict or control what a user is allowed to do and use in Illustrator. You can try to reduce the parameters by saving the file as a Template.ait file, but even then they can muck about all day until they mess things up again, plus you have no control whatsoever even then as to whether they use fills, the stroke weights, etc. That is why I mentioned various things to manipulate the file once they deem it completed and ready to submit/upload. Basically a method to fix what they messed up or did incorrectly and instead set things as they should be for submission as I previously mentioned. I mentioned you may be able to create a complex Illustrator "action" action.aia that they run to process these requirements. I am not sure if such an action could be accomplished as all inclusive (perhaps though) otherwise you could as stated do it through scripting and a script they run: script.jsx to prepare the requirements, or an actual standalone helper app you create and provide like I mentioned above as well.
I see for CorelDRAW & Inkscape you require SVG, why not change that for Illustrator also so all your 2D app submissions are SVG based? Then manipulate the SVG server side, point out the changes and why and have the customer approve the new modified SVG Preview of the needed changes and move along with the process from there? Make all the requirement changes on the server by manipulating the SVG. You should have access to all of the requirements: RGB color model, stroke weight, stroke colors, fill colors, create font outlines, image tracing? I am just tossing out ideas here, get your programmers busy, tell them to stop playing video games and "make it so". ;-)
But even so, this then begs the question: What are you doing to circumvent the same issues for inept CorelDraw and Inkscape users?
Since, they have the same freedom to do things incorrectly and misaligned with the requirements, just as Illustrator users do.
Regardless though of the approach customers/designers may not like seeing certain things changed even minutely in trivial amounts and thusly be just as upset or up in arms with the changes to their pretty design files that they think were not needed in the first place, how dare you undermine them ;-). Same as seeing the file rejection from your system upon upload. Again I feel your pain. You have your Application/File requirements requirements stated nicely and plainly, it should be pretty easy for most, but sadly I guess not.
