Add Custom_Types.ini file types in LabVIEW (dynamically) palette

Hi all

Is it possible to dynamically add a Custom Types.ini file to the Palette of the Types of the LabVIEW VI. I tried some of the approaches as methods of "Engine.DisplayStepTypeEditorEx". But I really want to do fully automated without intervention. I want to specify the path to the ini file in my vi and add it to the range of types when the VI is executed from a sequence of TS.

Can someone help me to achieve this goal.

Thank you and best regards,
Nitz

You can simply place the file in your public folder TestStand under: \Components\TypePalettes.  Then when TestStand opens again it appear automatically.  You can check this by making a copy of MyTypes.ini (which is already in this folder) and rename the copy.  Then open TestStand and you will see the two MyTypes.ini and the new.

Kind regards

  • How can I add a php file type?

    I use windows xp. There was a file type "php" but used with 'Print Shop quick print' which I removed because of the conflict. I want the "php" that is used with "hyper text preprocessor. I tried just to add "php" as a new type of file, but without any criteria, I don't think that it is recognized.

    What do you do with your php files?  What application you want to use to handle (for example, modify) them? Normally, the php files are used by php on a web server engine. If you want to edit or create php files, you can use the Notepad Notepad ++or application such as Dreamweaver web development.

    Assuming that you have an application in mind that you want to use to open the php files, the best thing to do is:

    • Find a php file
    • Right-click on it and select open with > choose program
    • Locate the executable file of the application you want to use
    • Check the box "always use this program to open this type of file.

  • Add the user to the users group in the Users.ini file using c#

    Hello

    Using a c# application, we strive to add/remove a user from the TestStand Users.ini file.

    The CreateDeleteUsers.seq file in the samples of TestStand is used as a reference.

    We have seen that we are able to add the user to the list of user help file

    engine. UsersFile.UserList.SetPropertyObjectByOffset (0, 0 x 1, newUser.AsPropertyObject ());

    However, when we try to add the user to the user group, the sample file CreateDeleteUsers.seq said

    RunState.Engine.GetUserGroup (Locals.GroupName). Members.SetPropertyObjectByOffset (0, 0 x 1, Locals.User.AsUser.LoginName)

    If we try to replicate this in c#, the API seeks the last parameter (which is LoginName in the CreateDeleteUsers.seq file) as an object of property

    engine. GetUserGroup (this.) GroupName). Members.SetPropertyObjectByOffset (0, 0 x 1, newUser.AsPropertyObject ());

    This causes an exception of object reference when we run the application.

    Please advise on how to proceed.

    Thank you

    Arun-

    The members property is an array of string, so the 3rd parameter to SetPropertyObjectByOffset requires a string property object, IE. the user name and not of the user object. From the will of the user object error with '-17308; Specified value is not the expected type. ». The example should really be using SetValStringByOffset to be clearer so that you only specify the user name of the actual string.

  • How to add "Add to Windows Media Player list" to the context Menu of the specific file types

    I use Windows XP Professional 64-bit and I can't understand how to do this, even after hours of reading on google.

    When I right click. MP3 files or. AVI files, they give the option to context menu "Add to Windows Media Player list" but other files that I wish it would show for such as. MKV or. AAC, I can't show him for. I have searched everywhere in the windows registry and cannot for the life of understand me this.

    It works perfectly well and appears on our windows vista computer and the old 32-bit windows xp computer, but it does not appear on my new current.

    How I'd go about adding this choice "Add to Windows Media Player list" when I right click on. MKV and. AAC files?

    If possible, I would like to do this without having to install any software. I don't have a problem with the registry change and prefer it if possible.

  • Noise DC value of the ini file values

    Hello

    I am trying to build a generator of signals (sine, triangle, sawtooth, square random noise, DC). I managed to get the job of waveform using the signal generator of NOR built based on VI. but I want to add the DC case that I managed to do. but I want the values (magnitude and frequency) to be in an ini file. My idea is manual sets the values in the file, once I run the vi and select the case of DC noise, it should read the file values and the data output and once I have stop, it records the values of dc before returning.

    So, I'm stuck trying to figure how to do this. I hope that I was clear enough. I don't have a code to view since I haven't started yet coding on this part. Help, please.

    Clearly enough explained.

    Take a look at the screw configuration file, found in e/s from file > Config File live. There also many examples n the community, as well as in the Finder of the example, illustrating the use of these. A good starting point is the sample Configuration settings file write example Finder, and reading Configuration settings file.

    Your .ini file will look something like this, once created:

    [DC noise settings]

    Amplitude = 1.234567

    Frequency = 8.901234

    This is equivalent to:

    [Name of section]

    Key 1 = value

    Button 2 = value

    When asked to read a specific key in a certain section, VI only through the file for the named section, and then search for they key the name you provided it. Remember, you will need to know what type of data is when you read back.

    You can use VI writing to modify specific keys in specific sections as soon as you close the file.

    This is one of a multitude of methods, you can use to do this, but are probably the simplest.

  • using the .ini file created by EXE

    First of all I would like to say that I have a thorough knowledge of the .ini files and the need for them.  My question is related specifically to the .ini file that is created with the executable.  I searched the forum but have not found any instance of my question specifically.  After installation, the .exe and .ini are placed in my working directory in Program Files, which I expected.  The .ini file that is created is attached.

    Now, I would like to point to a different .ini that stores control settings.  I did it in the App generator under Advanced > Use Custom Config File.  That's fine and dandy, but the network, web, settings etc that have been created in the original .ini does not get included in my new .ini.  If my option is to use an .ini file separated with my control as well as created by the .exe parameters.  This seems redundant.

    My question is: does nothing my executable with the .ini file that is created when it starts to run?  I'd be OK NOT to have attached items if I wanted to point to a custom .ini file?  Why create an .ini with these specific settings file if the .exe does nothing with them?

    The only article I found is this one

    http://digital.NI.com/public.nsf/allkb/5467F7D7895835C186256FAF00600A21?OpenDocument

    but it does not explain what the .exe is done with it, if anything.  I guess you have a total control over the .ini and there is nothing "automatic / backstage" going on here.

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Why remind you the application builder to a custom INI file if you are going to have to read the chips inside manually anyway?  The reason to use a custom within the app Builder INI file is so that you can include specific parameters of execution (VI, access list server, port etc.) which are different from the settings using the LabVIEW development environment.

    You need not key in the INI file for your run-time application (as evidenced by the fact that if you delete the INI file, your exe will still works, creating a new INI file with default values).  If you leave the defaults, the application adds in the first leg in any case.

    You can store your own data in the same INI file used by the executable file; just put the keys in a different section.  LabVIEW Config File format INI files screws slightly differently (for example adding spaces around the = sign), but I didn't know it causes problems.

  • XP pro do not start after changing the Boot.ini file

    The problem is that my C: partition Windows 7
    D: has XP Pro

    These should be considered right resp. partitions 1 and 2?

    I wanted to first XP pro to start the default partition.

    A few days ago, I made a change to the boot.ini file. But since XP Pro was not starting at all.

    I tried XP Pro to start first that the default partition.

    Given that XP Pro and my D: drive have not been starting, I consulted the boot.ini file in C:, Windows 7 partition and I changed the order (i.e. partition No.) in the boot.ini file and saved it to the required location, i.e. D:/WINDOWS/pss.
    through my drive C: of work, i.e. the partition of Windows 7, but it still does not work because apparently even though I save here, the actual values and the paths of the partition are not actually be changed on the system. I confirmed this by going into the CMD shell switching to D: and by running the command D: > bootcfg.
    Apparently any values I save in the boot.ini file that I save as a text file or "All files" in D:/WINDOWS/pss/it does not actually change in the system because whenever I run the command bootfg values are remaining still and not able to be changed, because apparently it is not saved in XP Pro and the D : partition. No matter what I do and what I put in the boot.ini file to access the values through the windows 7 partition, the values that bootcfg returns me are always the same and he refuses to change the name of path or anything else. No matter what orders, I also put in bootcfg himself.

    These are the values that bootcfg gives me:
    default: multi (0) disk (0) rdisk (0) partition (1) \WINDOWS

    Boot entries:
    Boot entry ID: 1
    Friendly name of operating system: MS Windows XP Professional
    Path: multi (0) disk (0) rdisk (0) partition (1) \WINDOWS
    The operating system load options: / noexecute = OPTIN/FASTDETECT/usepmtimer

    My XP Pro partition is simply not booting, and it of my main partition and has all my work. It is imperative that it starts.

    My Windows CD is also not start because apparently my DVD drive does not work properly, I had the anti malware threatfire (ThreatFire) installed on my XP D:Windows program disk but have uninstalled just in case it was blocking my changes to the system.

    On C:Win7, I put the default operating system option in the Advanced tab for Win7 and the D:XP Pro to XP Pro, when he was the starter and work. Now I can only access my files D:XP Pro Player C:Win7. But XP is not just start. What shd - I do? Thks.

    I don't have a very practical windows CD but my CD/DVD drive is not read and does not properly.

    Looks like your original post stated that your cd/dvd does not work.

    Respectfully, you will continue these hap hazard patches and your computer will not start at all. I'll try to help you once again. Please follow closely.

    Start your computer by loading Windows 7. Click HERE and download EasyBCD. Install the software in trial version. Once installation is complete open EasyBCD. You will see an interface like the image below. Click Add a new entry.

    A new screen appears as in the image below. Use the drop down menu to select Windows NT / 2 k/XP / 2 k 3 as described below. Type the name of the operating system in the box below. Of course, it will be Windows Xp (you can add the home or Pro to the name if you want). Make sure now that there is a check mark in the box "automatically detect the correct player. Once you have completed these steps click on 'add an entry '. That's all! You are finished. If all goes well, and if you have followed these steps carefully, there, now you have a system dual boot.

    You can now start working on your cd/dvd problem.

  • Changes to the font.ini file really work?

    I have changed font.ini files as indicated in the manual to overide default properties. E.g. updated green adobe for a diff saved, rebooted cap 3 color and adds the legend text using adobe green as well as the text remains the same color (green)?

    Hi again

    Note that if you have opened an existing Captivate file, you will see no change. The simple process flow is:

    1. close Captivate
    2 file INI Alter
    3. delete the DAT file
    4 restart Captivate
    5. create the new project from scratch

    The thing is that you use each type of legend in a project, they hide inside of the project. CP file. So at this time, he won't watch the INI file, because the type has already been used in the project.

    See you soon... Rick

  • How to import a backup of bookmarks in the file file type?

    Well, I had a computer installed Windows Vista with Mozilla Firefox, but I was getting rid of him. Therefore, I used the backup tool to give me a backup file to restore on my new computer. The file is in the file type, not JSON or HTML file, even though I didn't know it was a problem. Now, this computer has disappeared and I try to get my favorites on it but it won't work. How to make this work?

    What kind of backup do you have? A backup of the bookmarks Organizer or a backup using the program MozBackup?

    If you have used MozBackup, you must install it on the new computer to decode the backup. http://mozbackup.JasnaPaka.com/

    If you have used the bookmarks Organizer, you can simply add .json at the end of the file name.

  • Some file types are not not in the settings of Applications

    OS: Windows XP SP3
    Firefox 4.0 & Pale Moon 4.0.5

    I have a problem when I download files from the executable (.exe) type. Previously, I checked the sign while Firefox will automatically download the file via the Download Manager. Unfortunately, some sites do not allow download with it. But when I want to change the setting, I can't find the type of executable files in the application settings. So, how I normally redownload? Help, please!

    I think that you need should be in settings of the add-on - we.

    Firefox tools > Options > Applications is for downloads that are in need of an application to open. The executables are designed to run directly on the operating system rather than be opened by another application. In addition, executable files are generally sent from the server with a generic binary file header, so Firefox will not be able to match up to the top with a particular file type.
