Tutorial on creating GUI with buttons?

Hi everyone,
I am a student in my second Java programming class and need to create a GUI that allows user input. After reading through the chapters assigned I'm still confused on how to do this. Does anyone know of a good web page/site that can give me some pointers?
Thank you very much for any pointers you can send my way.

  • "Quit LV" creates exception - How can i exit created application with button-click?

    Hello,
    i added a small vi-popup at beginning of my program where user can select between 3 buttons. The fourth button is Exit that should exit the application.
    For this i added the "Quit Labview" = True.
    It works fine in developer-mode but when i run it in the application exe-file this creates the following exception:
    Why is this not working in a application?
    Is there a better thing to quit the program?
    Thx

    The problem is that this is sub-vi Nr 2 of 10 that are all connected in a row with the error in/out.
    That means i would have to put the other 8 sub-vis inside a case-structure and give the "close"-vi an output to feed the case.
    It is simpler to just kill the whole LV.

  • How to create Labview User Interface with buttons?

    Hello,
    I try to create a user interface, where the TestStand sequencies can be selected one by one not only Test UUT, Single run and run Mainsequence (about 20 buttons needed).
    I'm playing with the simple UI shipped with TS and can load the sequence file and run automatically a sequence (Main or another).
    How can I create and assign buttons to all sequence files in my TS project?
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks. (TS 4.0, LV 8.0)

    I've modified my main VI with the below steps.
    I still don't know how to create and assign front panel buttons to the user interface.
    Anybody could explain to me how do I need to modify the attached part of my main vi and how to assign buttons.
    Thanks.

  • Im trying to create a fading button with a fading action.

    I can't figure out how to create a fading button with an additional action to it. I'll do my best to lay out how the actions should work: [red = not working]
    Button > roll over> fade> (that part I have down perfectly) click button> button temporarily replaced with text> roll out of text > process repeated in reverse for smooth fading.
    Every time I set up all these actions and get it the way I want, I run into a bunch of problems:
    Text box holder and text can not be over the button. (Where I need them to sit) When they sit over the button it blocks it from doing any of its specified actions. So I'll make the text box and text a hidden item, then they lose their transition and start flickering when they are interacted with.
    This is basically the last piece of my clients new site and I just need to figure this one little thing out. Please help if possible!

    Try to group the elements so they work together.

  • Creating a little GUI with adding DNS record functionality

    Hi all,
    Creating a DNS record (A record) is pretty straight forward in Powershell. I wonder if somebody knows how to create a little GUI with the powershell commands in the background to create DNS records.
    For example something like a HTML form in where u can enter the DNS name, the Zone and the IPv4 address. Click Add and Powershell will add it on the background. I cannot find any good information on this when i google on it.
    Thanks!

  • Create a Next-button with a goto-command?

    was wondering if it is possible to create a Next button with a goto-command, similar to this "back"-button: goto://FolioNavigation/lastview   ?

    Hi Bob,
    thank you for the answer Yes, you understood it right. I am making an app similar to a website experience (DPS is probably not really the best thing for it, just very practical to use since it's in Indesign). I guess I will have to work around it Thanks again!

  • How to create a rollover button effect in Captivate 7?

    Hi,
    I recently upgraded from Captivate 6 to Captivate 7 and am curious to know how I can create a rollover state for a SmartShape button. Basically, let's say I have a SmartShape being used as a button. What I want is to have the button have a glow effect and a shadow effect each time the mouse is hovered over it. Is there an easier way than having two objects on the slide -- one as the normal state and one the mouse hoever image. What I'm thinking is that the mouse hovered state image will have it's 'Visible in Output' set as unchecked and I can use an Advanced Action to show the object on mouse hover. Perhaps I can have the mouse hovered state image as a rollover SmartShape too?
    Nonetheless, this looks like too much work. If I have 10 clickables on the page for which I want rollover effects, I would need to have 10 additional objects with their rollover states -- just seems like too much, but perhaps that's the Captivate way. Or I am I missing the obvious?
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Sean

    Most people would say the easiest way to achieve what you are talking about would be to just create your own custom image button in a graphics editor and give the Over state image having the glow effect that you want.
    If you decide to go that route, this tutorial describes the process of creating an image button:
    http://www.infosemantics.com.au/adobe-captivate/create-custom-image-buttons
    Another possibility is that you can use the Infosemantics Event Handler widget to trigger an Apply Effect action and use the Glow filter as the effect. 
    However, this may require some tweaking since it's not that easy to time effects that are applied via an advanced action.

  • How can i create a filechooser button inside the plugin window?

    Hi
    i'd like to create a filechooser button to load/save but inside the plugin window. Is it possible ? if yes how can i do that ?
    and i need the algorithm to be Mac/Windows compatible if possible
    thanks a lot
    *best regards*
    Jeff

    If by the "plugin window" you mean the dialog an automation or a filter plugin from the SDK sample code opens for you, you have to write platform-specific code using either Cocoa on Mac or regular WinAPI on Windows (e.g. by hooking GetOpenFileName()/GetSaveFileName() functions to a button you will add to the resource file or create dynamically). Take a look at any plugin that has a GUI (e.g. the Dissolve plugin) and you'll see that the GUI code is entirely platform-specific as there is no platform-independed GUI framework bundled with Photoshop anymore.
    Another option is to use some third-party cross-platform library such as Qt, but if you just need a couple of buttons and file selection dialogs it's probably not worth the trouble,.
