Update dialog edit controls in LV

I have a dialog with digital and text controls and a SAVE button. I want the
controls values stored into a file when SAVE is clicked.
Pb: If the user hits SAVE when one of the control is still being edited
(active blinking cursor) the control will return its previous value since it
is updated only after the user hits ENTER or selects another control.
Q: Is it possible to force an update before reading values from the
controls ?
Thanks a lot.
Michel.

Hi chrisger
I agree wiht Jpeters.
One way to solve the fonts problem is using the app.ini file that goes whit your exec. Copy your font settings from labview.ini to that file to keep the fonts as originally. If NT has not those fonts, look for some similar ones and try different sizes.
Hope this helps and shows utility of app.ini file.

Updating DB from Edit control

Hi
I have a list control that displays the data from a database.When I click on an item in a list control, the details of that item are displayed in the Edit control. Now, when I edit on those details in edit controls and click on an Update button
I want the newly entered details in the edit control to replace the old data in the list control.
This is my code to display the details in the edit control when the item is clicked in the list control.
void CDB2View:: OnClickYourListCtrl(NMHDR* pNMHDR, LRESULT* pResult)
int row=m_List.GetSelectionMark();
if(row<0)
return;
CString s1=m_List.GetItemText(row,0);
CString s2=m_List.GetItemText(row,1);
CString s3=m_List.GetItemText(row,2);
c_Name.SetWindowText(s1);
c_Job.SetWindowText(s2);
c_Age.SetWindowText(s3);
I don't know how to replace the old data in the list control with the new data that is entered in the edit control. Pls help.

Use some collection class to store all the data and perform your update/Insert/Delete data inside the collection class and then simply Fill the data inside the List control with these classes now you just have to Update the List control on the basis
of index that's all you have to do you simply can call SetItemtext() on particular index to change the text of list control with new item or delete all the item from list and fill it again ,Do whatever you want. Perform Update() on your control as well after
SetItemtext()

Add num edit control to existing MFC DLL

Hi,
I'm using Visual C++ 6.0 and Visual Studio 6.0 SP3, with Measurement Studio 6.0.0 (eval version).
I have a C++ DLL which is using shared MFC. It holds various dialogs that my app needs. Onto the waveform dialog, I want to add NI graph (not 3D graph) and num edit controls.
I looked at the tutorial for "Manually Adding Components to My MFC-Based Project" but it seems that the additional steps don't apply to either of the controls I'm adding.
Currently my waveform dialog contains only VS controls, and it works as expected both in the Visual Studio debugger and outside of it.
So in the Visual Studio resource editor, I right-click, select "Insert ActiveX Control", and select the "CWNumEdit Control (National Instruments)", and the path shown is "C:\\Windows\system32\cwui.ocx". I change its style so it looks like the classic control, and change its name. My project builds and links with no additional header files or libs added to the project.*
Now I run my app in the Visual Studio Debugger. But when I call the code to create an instance of my dialog, it returns a 0 instead of a handle (indicating that it failed to create the object). (I can't step into the call to create the dialog.) But when I call GetLastError() it returns a 0, indicating no error!
*I believe I at some point had some old Measurement Studio stuff loaded, which apparently had come along with other National Instruments installs that I had done. Is that possibly confusing my compile/link?
What am I missing? Thanks in advance for any help ...

Hi B.Anderson,
You may be missing some components to your project. Here's a thorough KnowledgeBase article that discusses this:
Adding Measurement Studio Controls to an MFC Project in Microsoft Visual C++
If going through that doesn't help. Could you post a section of your code that is causing the problem and also show what libraries you have included?
Take care!

[Smartfroms] Problems in fetching text edit control text

Hi gurus,
I made an application using Screen programming (or dialog programming you must say). I used 3 tab strips. In last tab strip I used a text edit control to write remarks in multiple lines.
I save those remarks (data element: TEXT255) in a custom table as they are saved as "sdfsdfsdf##df##sd##fsd##fsd##fsd##f##sd##f". Fine enough as "ENTER KEY" is interpreted as "##".
I fetched them easily in a display mode using get_stream method. All good.
But the problem arose when I needed to fetch those saved remarks in a smartform.
When I fetched those remarks they came as "sdfsdfsdf##df##sd##fsd##fsd##fsd##f##sd##f" in samrtform's text_box.
I tried a Find and replace command but ## couldn't process, it's because ## is just the interpretation of ENTER KEY.
I need them as
sdfsdfsdf
df
sd
fsd
fsd
fsd
f
sd
f
Is there anyways to get multiple lines text box in smartforms or can I remove those "##" from the text?
Regards,
Mansoor Ahmed.

I am saving it as a text in TEXT255 data element.
But in text edit control when i press enter it adds ## to the text. And ## could not be processed via FIND and REPLACE commands.

I want to use the expression edit control in a VC++ DLL, how?

Good morning,
as mentioned I want to use the expression edit control in my DLL written with VSC++ 2005 MFC. But I ran into some problems:
If I just add the ExpressionEdit control from the toolbar to my dialog then the dialog will not be shown during runtime. As soon as I delete the control the dialog shows up.
In the TS examples is one called 'TCL' (...National Instruments\TestStand 4.1.1\Examples\Tcl\source\EditSubstep). This is programmed in C++ and uses the expression edit control.
The original dll works fine but as soon as I compile the editsubstep with my VS 2005 I get a runtime error (see image).
What do i have to do to be able to use this control?
Has anybody an working example for me?
Cheers Frank
Solved!

@juergen: how do I know which lib I am using?
I am using this COM-Control: c:\programme\national Instruments\testStand 4.1.1\bin\exprEdit.dll
@Doug: I created the sequence as you described and used this for debugging to find out where the problem is.
I found out, that the problem must be somewhere here:
dlgcore.cpp
BOOL CWnd::CreateDlgIndirect(LPCDLGTEMPLATE lpDialogTemplate,
CWnd* pParentWnd, HINSTANCE hInst)
Line 314:
hWnd = ::CreateDialogIndirect(hInst, lpDialogTemplate,
pParentWnd->GetSafeHwnd(), AfxDlgProc);
Without the ExpEdit-control hWnd has a Value
with control hWnd is 0.
This is what I found out so far.

Performing check and potential update for status control table

Cheers Experts,
I searched in the forum, but I didn't find an answer.
I'm working on a 3.0B BW system.
After updating from PSA to an ODS, in the log I see the following line:
"Performing check and potential update for status control table" and double clicking on it, it says:
If data is loaded into an InfoCube, or existing data is edited (aggregated/compressed/deleted/got from a DataMart), then there is a change in the potential reportability of the data , or the possibility of deleting data by request, or of aggregating or compressing.
This status of each one of these Cubes is stored in a status table, that is updated when there is any change to the status of a request in the Cube.
The system now analyzes the requests in the Cube and compares the calculated status with the status table.
If deviations from the status table arise then you are given the option of adjusting the status table.
I have 2 questions:
1) What is BW doing, mainly because I'm working on an ODS and not an Infocube?
2) What can I do to reduce its execution time, since it lasts several minutes?
Thanks and greetings.
Roberto

Roberto, did you ever find an answer to your question? We also are experiencing long runtimes during this particular process running 3.x deltas from ODS to ODS and cubes.

How to detect Edit controls on web application in Firefox?

I'm making a Coded UI Test with VS 2012 Update 4 for testing a web application.
On one of the web pages are two buttons for generating new entries.
These buttons are looking like that:
    <section class="well well-lg" id="sectionAddVorbe">
        <fieldset id="fieldsetAddVorbe" name="fieldsetAddVorbe">
            <legend translate="bewerbung.lebenslauf.Titel"></legend>
            <div class="form-group" id="fgAddVorbe">
                <button type="button" id="addVorbe" name="addVorbe" class="btn btn-default" ng-click="vm.addVorbeschaeftigung()">
                    <span class="glyphicon glyphicon-plus" aria-hidden="true"></span>
                    <span translate="global.EintragHinzufuegen" id="spanAddVorbe"></span>
                </button>
            </div>
        </fieldset>
    </section>
    <section class="well well-lg" id="sectionAddSkills">
        <fieldset id="fieldsetAddSkills" name="fieldsetAddSkills">
            <legend translate="bewerbung.skills.Titel"></legend>
            <p translate="bewerbung.skills.Erklaerung"></p>
            <div class="form-group" id="fgAddSkill">
                <button type="button" id="addSkill" name="addSkill" class="btn btn-default" ng-click="vm.addSkill()">
                    <span class="glyphicon glyphicon-plus" aria-hidden="true"></span>
                    <span translate="global.EintragHinzufuegen" id="spanAddSkill"></span>
                </button>
            </div>
        </fieldset>
    </section>
Because there was a leak with IDs and names i added these, whereever it was necessary.
Before the adding of the IDs and names Coded UI detected the buttons just by the text (defined by global.EintragHinzufuegen), so once one of the buttons was detected the other one couldn't be added as a seperate control to the UI-controllist of UIMap.test.
Internet Explorer just needs the ID and name in the button-tag, to detect the two buttons as different controls - in that case as Pane controls.
But when i make the same test with Firefox and click on the buttons while recording the test, the buttons are still detected by the text (global.EintragHinzufuegen).
So Coded UI registers a mouseclick on the Edit control (which contains the text) and in the controlslist of UIMap.test a hierarchy of Button and Edit is added.
Which changes have to be done in the HTML-code to make Coded UI detect the controls correctly while recording the test with Firefox?
Thanks in advance!

Hi Patrick Pirzer,
>>Which changes have to be done in the HTML-code to make Coded UI detect the controls correctly while recording the test with Firefox?
Just to make this issue clearly, did you use this extension tool "Selenium components for Coded UI Cross Browser Testing"?
To find the controls, the coded UI test use the unique properties as the search properties, so if there are controls which have the same properties, I suggest you not use them as the search properties. Or you could custom a coded UI test with code or
use unique properties as the search properties.

Adobe AIR runtime update dialog breaks application

I'm working on a large project that utilizes a C++ application to house the core logic and an AIR application to display a UI. The C++ program launches the AIR UI and passes it several command line parameters, including locale and port number to call back to the C++ application with. Under normal circumstances, this works great.
However, when there's an Adobe AIR runtime update, things go bad. The runtime intercepts the UI invocation, kills it, and displays the generic AIR "do you want to update?" dialog. Whether the user presses update or cancel, the UI application eventually gets relaunched -- but without the command line parameters originally passed to it! I presume this is a bug in the Adobe AIR runtime updater code.
The end result of this is that the UI gets relaunched, but doesn't know how to localize itself or what port to call back to the C++ application with! If the user relaunches, it works fine (because the update dialog won't intercept again), but by then the user experience has already been mangled. We can't even display a localized error message to tell them to relaunch because we don't know what locale they're using any more, and we can't call back to the C++ application to ask.
I'm trying to find solutions/workarounds to this issue. Because AIR won't let us turn off the update check on a per-application basis, it seems like the only viable solution would be to turn off the runtime update check for the whole machine. But altering machines settings for the benefit of one application is definitely bad form, and I'd prefer not to do that if any other viable workaround exist.
Any ideas?

I filed a bug report last night using that same form.
The duplication steps are straightforward. I can duplicate the following with 100% success on a freshly imaged Win 7 32-bit box, admin user account:
1) Install older version of Adobe AIR framework (I tried both 1.1 and 1.5.1). It will ask you to update. Click "Update later".
2) Pull up task manager and watch the process list
3) Run ANY Adobe AIR app with some parameters (I used Adobe's Settings Manager as a sample because it's small)
4) Note that your application appears in the task manager briefly
5) Your app is terminated and "Adobe Air Installer.exe" appears in the task manager. A dialog pops up asking you to update.
6) Click cancel
7) Your app is reinvoked without any parameters
As for my specific case, by "session" I do mean a single launch.
I'm not aware of an evoke event -- perhaps you meant invoke event? The invoke event is not executing before the app terminates (in step 5 above). I think the AIR app is just running long enough to load the runtime and then the runtime takes over from there.
Thanks...

SAVE button doesn't appear in Toolbar of Text Edit Control

Hai All,
I need to save the changes made to the text in my Text Edit Control, i know how to handle the Save command but my problem is the SAVE button doesn't appear in the Toolbar of the Text Editor. I have searched through the SDN but in all of those threads they already have the SAVE button and hence only the logic was discussed. But i need the SAVE button to appear in my Text Edit Control. Looking forward for your helpful answers.
Thanks in Advance,

Hi,
Check the demo program SAPSCRIPT_DEMO_NOTE_EDITOR what ever you enter in the editor you get the text using method

importing text = notetab.

How do I update my ActiveX controls without breaking existing VIs?

Hi, I'm new to LabView. I've inherited a labview application that makes use of several user-written VIS. All these vi files use an ActiveX control. For better or worse, the way they've done it is to put a ActiveX Container on the front panel. They then picked "Insert ActiveX Control", and picked the correct OCX. In the block diagram, they set up a "Invoke" Node and wire the ActiveX control to that.
The problem occurs when I update the ActiveX control. I added a couple of methods and reregistered it. When I run one of my vi files, I get:
Error 0 occurred at VI Open & Init Spinstand
Possible Reasons....
I then thought that going to the front panel and deleting the ActiveX control and reinser
ting it would work. Instead I got the message:
Error 1598667368 occurred at VI open & Init...
I should point out that I'm not even attempting to use the new function yet; I'm just running an old .vi file with the updated ActiveX control.
The version of LabView I'm using is 6.0.2. Can anyone tell me what's going on? Is there a way to gracefully update the ActiveX control? I'm I adding ActiveX controls in the best way?
Any help or references would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Andrew Walker

Updating *.OCX OR *.DLL Component When Active X Automation Interface has Changed
Given that you have changed the ActiveX automation interface, e.g: by appending new functions, then, the original 'registered' ActiveX server automation interface is no longer compatible with the new one.
In this case you must: (1) �un-register� the original interface; (2) Copy the New *.OCX/*.DLL File over the previous ones; (3) Then �re-register the new interface�; (4) After that you must visit ALL your LabVIEW Diagram �PROPERTY� and �METHOD� ActiveX automation nodes and re-reference those same functions.
These FOUR (4) Steps are further explained below:
1. Unregister the *.OCX or *.DLL file by running the command
Regsvr32 /u ��
Make sure that points to the full path name for your *.OCX or *.dll file. You must use the opening and closing quotes if your file path has spaces.
2. Copy the new *.OCX or *.DLL files over the old ones
This means that you will be over-writing the old *.OCX or *.DLL with the new files. Replacing these files is re-commended so that you do not end up with multiple copies of the same file.
3. Register The New *.OCX Controls
Register the new controls by running the command
Regsvr32 ��
This will now honor your new ActiveX automation interface in place of the last one.
4. Re-Visit All �PROPERTY� and �METHOD� Nodes and Re-Reference the same functions that appear in those nodes
This means that you will be right-clicking on all the existing PROPERTY and METHOD nodes and choosing the functions accordingly from the drop-down list-view/menu. If the list view is grayed-out, then Steps 1 to 3 did not take!
NB: GOTCHA FOR *.DDL Users
If you have sub-VIs that use the *.dll Ref icon then you will have to cut and re-insert this reference control in all those sub-Vis. A quick way is to copy the top level *.Dll ref icon and paste it over the control and indicator versions of the same in those sub VIs.
These four Steps plus the 'Gotcha Step' have worked consistenly when I have had to update ActiveX controls featuring a changed automation interface.

How to access the Custom Data type variable given in Expression edit control To and From LabVIEW

Hello, I would like to know how to access the custom data type variable given in the Espression Edit Control from LabVIEW and vice-versa
Say, the FileGlobals.Reference_Handle (Custom Data Type Variable) contains the
VISA I/O session (Which in turn contains VISA_DeviceName: String, Session: Number),
Channel1: Number and
Channel2: Number
I am expecting the user to give FileGlobals.Reference_Handle as the input at the ExpressionEdit Control in the edit screen of the VI Call.
I would like to know how to get the values of this custom data type to LabVIEW?
Say, if I have the Cluster in LabVIEW like VISA I/O session (Deive Name and Session Number), Channel1 and Channel2
how do i need to set this cluster to the Custom Data type variable in TestStand?
Thanks and Regards
Prakash

Hi,
TestStand to LabVIEW: i didnt understand what you r trying to achieve. But if you are using references, Use Property nodes and Invoke nodes to achieve what you want in LabVIEW.
LabVIEW to TestStand: check the image below: You need to click the button next to 'container'. I have used a cluster output in the VI.
Hope this helps
