TAB-functionality in Labview 7.0

Hi, I am working with labview 7.0 and I don't like it that the tab-functionality is gone in 7.0 (I mean the option to choose between the wirering-cursor, the color-cursor etc...) The cursor now changes automatically dependent from the place on the control. I wonder if its possible to activate back the TAB-functionality?

Yes it is. This and many more settings are controlled in the
Tools>>Options dialog. The setting you are looking for is on the first
page. You might also want to browse through the Upgrade Notes as they
summarize the new features and changes in a brief and technical manner.

  • Password protecting one tab on a tab function

    Hi,
    I am trying to place password protection on one tab of a tab function. Can anyone help me with this?
    Many thanks,
    Cooky

    There are many ways to do this. Another possibility would be to enable/disable the secret tab depending on the state of a password.
    In the attached simple demo (LabVIEW 7.0), the third tab is disabled unless the correct password is entered. If there is no activity for one minute, the secret tab will automatically be disabled once again.
    (Of course the password could be also obtained using a password dialog after pressing a button named "Administrator Login" for example. In a real world example, you might also want to encrypt the password strings or use a more advanced authentication algorithm.)

  • Tab Function in Pages for iPad moved?

    Was using pages for ipad today, and I used to use a tab function from the top menu bar by hitting a button that looks like an align button and it allowed for page breaks and tab functions.
    I think I updated pages, and now I have to hold down as if I were to select a word or words, use the insert function, and then get to Tab/Page Break.
    Is there a way to change this preference? It was so much easier the with the menu bar button!
    Thanks,
    Nate

    I am trying to create a simple table, with varying column widths, eg Year Month Day Description. After going through the very limited options in Pages and doing plenty of Googling I have come to the conclusion that Apple doesn't allow you to have varying column widths in a single table :-( So I tried to create a custom table by using tabs, ie Year <hold, insert, tab> Month <hold, insert, tab hold, insert, tab> Day <hold, insert, tab> Description = 4 tabs = 12 steps :-( A Tab button on the keyboard would've been great, but the Ipad keyboard doesn't have one :-( neither do they allow me to customize my keyboard :-(  I found software that seems to be able to do what I need but Apple says I'm not allowed to purchase the software in my country :-(

  • TAB functionality in a custom screen.

    Hi,
       I need to develop a screen where in it contains table controls, different push buttons and Input output fields.  One of the button is TAB. This tab button should function as a TAB functionality in the keyboard. Meaning whenever I click on this it should take me from one button to another button and when cursor is in table control it should take from one column to another column. Suppose if cursor is on fields (Input/Output fields) then it should take from one field to another field.
    Cursor on Fields:
    I have tried with Set cursor and increasing the counter and again using the set cursor to place on the counter(next) field. But this is not working. I have different types of fields meaning some Char, Int, Currency. Among these I need to move cursor.

    Hi Malla,
             Thanks!
             I was doing the same , but I was passing the value of the field instead name of the field for the SET CURSOR. To scroll the tabs between the diff push buttons i am assigning the functional key to each push buttons whihc has  a facility in the 3rd party tool.

  • Register a Callback function in LabVIEW

    Is there any way to register a callback function in LabVIEW. For example:
    I have a DLL on Win2k that run a thread. This thread is doing a certain task (it is not important what it does...) I can't predict when this task will end and I need to know when the task is over. The easy way would be to poll this DLL and ask: "Is it over? Is it over?" over and over again. No! I don't want to poll. Not because it's too easy. I want this DLL to wake me up on time.
    Any idea, solutions, function that I'm not aware of, new features...
    Thanks
    Nitrof

    I think I have a much better solution for you. Here is an example program that show how to set a LabVIEW occurence in a dll. Therefore when your dll is done it can set the LabVIEW occurence, meanwhile your VI is just waiting on the occurence.
    More infomration on this is in the external code in LabVIEW manual Using External Code in LabVIEW
    NOTE:This will ONLY work in LabVIEW 7.

  • Different output of DST function in labview and matlab

    I am passing a 1D array of size 1550 as input to DST function. I have also calculated DST of same array in matlab using 'dst' function. I got approximately same answer till 1399th element but after that answers of two varies abruptly. I tried hard but I am unable to find the solution. I am attaching the data file in which it can be clearly seen that at 1530th element there is a difference of sign also.

    data file1.txt ‏37 KB

    Out of curiosity, have you tried another software, like Octave? When you have two software that is different, which one is incorrect?
    Also, have you tried to use the DST function in LabVIEW directly?
    Another think to keep in mind... When you try to run a sequence for so long, small round-off errors could be cummulative and show later on the analysis. Also, it depends on how you load the data into each software. Hopefully when moving the platforms, the string conversion would not truncate the number. The best is not using string, but some kind of binary format...
    These are some ideas to check...

  • Functions in labview

    Hy,
    I've got a question concerning functions in Labview.
    Is it possible to see the *source* of a function ?

    So there is no way to get the algorithm directly from labview?

  • I am trying to call a function with LABVIEW developed in CCS compiler

    I used MPLAB (CCS compiler) to develop c code that is used to transmit and receive messages to and from an automotive display. It works great as a stand alone. I would like to call this function from LABVIEW but am having difficulty doing so. Does anyone have experience calling a MPLAB developed project from LABVIEW? Thanks in advance.

    MPLab is for programming PICs if I'm not mistaken. I'm not sure how you would want to call a function compiled in MPLab from LabVIEW directly. MPLab will create binary code for execution on PICs and there is no LabVIEW that could run on a PIC. On the other hand I didn't think you could create standard Windows DLLs, Mac shared libraries or similar in MPLab at all.
    You will have to recompile your code in a C compiler that can create the standard shared library format for the plaform you want to call it from LabVIEW.

  • Dock and command tab function

    my dock mysteriously has disappeared and will not show up on the bottom of my screen. my command tab function to move between applications does not work either. i just installed the latest update for mac os but it hasn't fixed the problem. any advice?

    Start by running the two basic checks provided by Disk Utility's "First Aid" tab to make sure the file system & system permissions are OK. (You can ignore SUID warnings in the permissions check.)
    If that doesn't turn up anything, try creating a new user account for testing purposes. If the problem goes away in the new account on its first login, it implies some user preference file is corrupted or an incompatible or corrupted login item is present in your normal account.
    If that turns up nothing, try Mac OS X: starting up in Safe Mode, then log into your normal account. If the problem disappears it implies something mentioned here is or was the culprit. (Some problems are fixed by a safe boot, others require more work.)
    If any of these steps reveals a problem, don't go to the next one until it is resolved. If you need more help determining what to do about any revealed problem, please post a description of it & list any steps you have already taken that had no effect. If you can resolve the problem, please post a description of what you did as well. (Others will benefit from your experience, good or bad.)

  • Why no Alt-Tab functionality (true last active, not just up or down the line)?

    I see the keyboard shortcuts for moving up and down the open tabs (ctrl-shift-tab and ctrl-tab) and the go direct to a numbered tab etc...
    what I really want is a last tab function that if pressed repeatedly would simply take you back and forth between the last two tabs. Such that if I have 8 tabs open and am presently on tab 7 and then switch to tab 4, then I press this keyboard shortcut it would take me directly back to 7. If pressed again it would go back to 4. etc.
    Take filling out a tax form or something as an example. I've got my browser open, several pages on tax help, tax code, and the like along with one with my paystub info and one that I am entering data into. I repeatedly need to bounce back and forth between the tab with the info on it (paystub) and the tab with the data entry on it.
    I suppose one could workaround by only having the two desired tabs open in the browser window or by having two browser windows open with each needed page, but this is such ingrained function (alt-tab in windows goes directly between your last two open applications no matter how many you have open) that it just seems very natural to want browser tabs to only go back and forth between the last two as well.
    really think this should be developed...seems simple (from an uneducated POV) and serves a definite purpose.
    thanks.

    Thanks, that works great.
    FYI I came across that several times, however none of them made it clear that the desired behavior was understood and that this was the actual fix for it.
    Thanks again and for those wondering - this does actually make ctrl-tab behave as normal windows alt-tab does....can't believe I've gone so long without this frustrated by every time I hit alt tab wanting to change tabs and changing applications instead.
    this is great...thanks firefox (still think this should be default instead of the climb up and down the open list of tabs)

  • Can i call winmain function in labview

    hello everyone,
    Well i have written a C++ code that uses the  winmain function (windows function). i want to convert this code into dll and call that dll into labview.
    Is it possible to  call winmain function as one of the functions in labview. Please let me know as soon as possible.
    Thank you.
    Royal  tiger......

    You didn't say what development environment you're using, so I'm assuming Visual Studio. It sounds like you created a Win32 app (as opposed to an MFC app). This has a "WinMain" function. The prototype for WinMain is geared towards it being called by the OS when you run the executable. You could just add the __declspec(export) directive in front of the return type, but you also need to change some build functions in Visual Studio to get a DLL. You probably also don't need all the arguments that WinMain uses. You're probably better off by starting with a new DLL project in order to get the framework for a DLL, and then copy and past the function code. That's what I would do.
    I would also strongly suggest that you crack open the "Using External Code in LabVIEW" manual that gets installed when you installed LabVIEW. It's in the "manuals" directory, filename of "lvexcode.pdf".

  • Recently the close tab function in safari has disappeared.

    Recently the close tab function in safari has disappeared and now I have to close tabs by right clicking, needless to say it's driving me mad. Is there a way I can sort this out?

    My Safari tabs were missing the "x" close button as well.
    What ended up working for me was ->Force Quit->Safari.
    I noticed quitting Safari from the Dock does not completely close it out, and from the Safari->Quit Safari menu option is grayed out. Force quit seemed to be the only way to end it.
