Why ist it impossible to set the instrument housing size and bounds programmat​icaly?

Dear LV enthusiasts,
I have a slightly old project from LV 6. Since this time I am using the
oppurunity to set and change the housing size and bounds of
indicators at runtime. This is a very nice feature. Using this I am
capable to have a user defined window with moveable and  resizeable
indicators.
Within LV 8 I noticed that this feature is gone. all the properties that
change the size of the control are read only.
I am very disapointed about the loss of functionality in the new versions.
Its a real handcap for the development of new software versions.
Is it possible to have this properties with read / write again?
Yours with kind regards
      Martin

Try to use the bounds insted of the housing size
As far as I can remember, the Bounds property has always been read-only (hence notes in the KnowledgeBase like Bounds Property of Front Panel Objects is Read-Only.)
 Could you have been using something else in your old project?

    When logging in into yahoo mail after typing in password Firefox is adding something, probably remembered password and login fails all the time. At yahoo mail Notepad does not work because it is impossible to close the list of items and they cover information, so I have to go to IE.

    Only when i go to a different browser (like IE) after i clear it , then all that shows up is the pages i visited in IE , that is what bugs me , why is IE browsing history sowing up in Firefox ??
    Basically , i can clear the history in Firefox , and then for a example , go to Craigslist , using IE7 (launching it from a complete different Icon , in other words at that time i never open Firefox) , then after closing out , or even leaving open as it does not seem to matter , i go into Firefox , and hit History , and there is every place i visited in IE7 , on my History in Firefox

  • How do I set the default text in a bound textbox?

    How do I set the default value of a bound textbox when the AddNewItem button on the MenuStrip is clicked?
     I have the following code (see below), but for some reason it does work when I put the code in the
    AddNewItem_Click event; however, it does work if I put it in the
    Form's Load Event. The statement in question is Me.txtBusUsagePct.Text = 100.
    What am I doing wrong? Why can't I set the default text in the AddNewItem_Click
    event?
       Private Sub BindingNavigatorAddNewItem_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles BindingNavigatorAddNewItem.Click
    Me.txtBusUsagePct.Text = "100"
       End Sub

    Hello,
    Here I am using mocked up data but the important thing is after loading the data. Requires on the form a BindingNavigator and two text boxes.
    Public Class Form1
    WithEvents bsData As New BindingSource
    Private Sub Form1_Load(
    ByVal sender As System.Object,
    ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
    Using MockedData As New DataTable()
    MockedData.Columns.AddRange(New DataColumn() _
    New DataColumn("PartName", GetType(String)),
    New DataColumn("partqty", GetType(Int32))
    MockedData.Rows.Add(New Object() {"Part A", 100})
    MockedData.Rows.Add(New Object() {"Part 99", 34})
    MockedData.Rows.Add(New Object() {"Part B", 4})
    bsData.DataSource = MockedData
    End Using
    CType(bsData.DataSource, DataTable).AcceptChanges()
    BindingNavigator1.BindingSource = bsData
    TextBox1.DataBindings.Add("Text", bsData, "Partname")
    TextBox2.DataBindings.Add("Text", bsData, "partqty")
    End Sub
    Private Sub bsData_AddingNew(
    ByVal sender As Object,
    ByVal e As System.ComponentModel.AddingNewEventArgs) _
    Handles bsData.AddingNew
    Dim dv As DataView = TryCast(bsData.List, DataView)
    Dim rv As DataRowView = dv.AddNew()
    rv("PartName") = "(new)"
    rv("partqty") = 0
    e.NewObject = rv
    bsData.MoveLast()
    End Sub
    End Class

  • Hi there! So I am using Lightroom 3 on a pc and I have ran into an issue when exporting images. The DPI and image size (in inches) that I am selecting during the export process. For example I just exported a collection and set the dpi to 180 and the size

    Hi there! So I am using Lightroom 3 on a pc and I have ran into an issue when exporting images. The DPI and image size (in inches) that I am selecting during the export process. For example I just exported a collection and set the dpi to 180 and the size to 7 inches on the long edge. My exported result is 457 dpi and sized at 3200x2134 pixels.. Any ideas on why this is happening and what I can do to correct it?

    The DPI setting in a digital image has no meaning at all. You need to learn how to calculate what you need in your exported image. The only measurement in a digital image that has any meaning is the number of pixels in each direction. It doesn't matter what you set that DPI to (actually it's PPI or pixels per inch). The image will have the same number of pixels regardless of the setting. If you need an image that is 5 x 7" (for example) at 200 PPI then you would want an image that measured:
    5 x 200 = 1000 pixels
    7 x 200 = 1400 pixels
    So you would need an image that is 1000 x 1400 pixels to have a 5 x 7" image at 200 PPI. The reason your exported image had such a high PPI setting is because you specified the number of inches you wanted the image to be. And there were enough pixels in the image that it calculated out to be that high PPI setting.
    I apologize, I don't explain this very well. But you need to learn to do the math to determine how large you really want your exported images to be.

  • How do I set the Launch window size (from launch from an LMS) in Captivate 5.5?

    When my project launches from the LMS, the lauch window is smaller that the actual project size and requires the user to resize the window to see the whole project. My LMS administrator tells me that the launch window size is not controlled by the LMS so I am trying to figure out how I can set this to match the project dimensions.

    The size of the browser window CAN be controlled by the LMS, but some LMSs are hopeless in this area and don't provide the settings to do so.
    Moodle for example allows you to specify that the course content will open in a new window each time an item in the LMS TOC is clicked and what the height and width of that window will be. However, all versions of SumTotal before the latest one did not give you this option (and that despite the exhorbitant price difference between these two products.)
    So your LMS admin might be correct in that HIS particular LMS cannot control the size of the launch window, but that's not because no LMS can do this.

  • CS6 Camera Raw - I can now only crop using aspect ratio in the custom crop setting rather than being able to set the dims in cm and inches? anyone know how to revert? ever since installing new mac operating system things have been strange!

    CS6 Camera Raw - I can now only crop using aspect ratio in the custom crop setting rather than being able to set the dims in cm and inches? anyone know how to revert? ever since installing new mac operating system things have been strange!

    Hi Kglad.
    I have looked at all of my settings both in Bridge and CS6 Photoshop regarding Camera Raw. I am at a loss how to set the crop tool in cm or inches as I once did - now the only option is to crop using ratios of 1:1 etc etc - This is infuriating as lots of my square crops I could set at 10" x 10'' specifically to print one to one to fit frame and mount size -
    Now if cropping using bloody aspect ratio of 1:1 (square) the actual dims of the crop are roughly 4.25 inches x 4.25 inches. this means I then have to open the whole image in photoshop in order to crop at the dims I have set! It was so much quicker in terms of batch cropping in camera raw being able to set dims in centimetres and inches but they have gone and mucked around with it, with the new bloody update! Unless you are an absolute genius and know how I can go back to having an option of CM, Inches and aspect ratio within the custom crop settings? (Please say you do)
    here is the new tutorial for CC -  my guess is they have scrapped the control we had over the custom crop settings

  • Setting the file system size for the emulator

    Hi,
    I am trying to set the file system size of the emulator so I can test what happens when the system is full and I try to write to the file system. I am using WTK 2.5.1 and I went into preferences -> storage and set Storage size to 10KB. But when I run the emulator and check the available size of the root directories using:
    try {
             Enumeration roots = FileSystemRegistry.listRoots();
             while (roots.hasMoreElements()) {
                String dir = (String) roots.nextElement();
                FileConnection fc = (FileConnection) Connector.open( "file:///" + dir );
                System.out.println( "Available Size on " + dir + " : "+ fc.availableSize());
                fc.close();
          } catch ( IOException ex ) {
             ex.printStackTrace();
    }I get the remaining size of my pc's hard drive, not what is remaining from the 10KB I set.
    Can you tell me the correct way to do this? I don't want to fill up my pc's hard drive in order to test this!!

    Has anyone got an answer to this?

    Many thanks for the diagnostics.
    Failed while scanning for CD / DVD drives, error 2380.
    Error while opening iTunes CD driver.  This could be caused by a corrupted iTunes file or a conflict with other older CD burning applications, either currently installed or previously installed and uninstalled incorrectly.
    With that one, I'd start with solution 3 from the following document:

  • Do you know if it's possible on an iPad to set the image quality/size or do we just have the one size - the photos I've taken work out at approx 8 x 6cm @300ppi - not that big!

    Do you know if it's possible on an iPad to set the image quality/size or do we just have the one size - the photos I've taken, work out at approx 8 x 6cm @300ppi - not that big!

    8cm * (1 in/2.54cm) * 300 dpi = 944 pixels (should be 1280 if this is the back camera)
    6cm * (1in/2.54cm) * 300 dpi = 708 pixels (should be 720 if this is the back camera)
    The back camera on iPad 2 is 1280x720 = 0.92Mp.  No way to increase that.

  • Why doesn't adobe just join the AAF/Turakiri/Incommon and accept Institution credentials?

    Why doesn't adobe just join the AAF/Turakiri/Incommon and accept Institution credentials?
    I'm just going through the academic purchase process. Talk about inefficient.
    Australia and New Zealand have established Access Federations which allow students and staff to use their own institutional credentials to log into web applications.
    Almost all universities and a lot of polytechs have joined these Access Federations.
    Adobe would be better off enabling federated login to prove that staff and students are who they say they are rather than use the current antique approach to validating memberships of insitutions.
    Go see www.aaf.edu.au or tuakiri.ac.nz
