Display the color, the color picker dialog box (like colorbox click)

Hello everyone

I wish next (problem?). I want to show the colordialog that usually appears when you click a color box, control clicking on a cell of a listbox control.

Here are a few screenshots to see more clearly my problem. The main thing is that it is not possible to manipulate the labviews legends, in a way, I want. This is why I want to use the diagram below. To save space, I would like to the first column of color with the color of the plot. It all works perfectly.

I just want to change the os of color, plot and the cell by the nice color picker.

Do you have any idea how to do to access this object.

I am aware that I could use .NET but ist would be nice to have the labviews one.

Best regards

Gernot

I really don't see the issue. See this snippet (drag it into a diagram to use) - a single click displays the selector, the second allows you to select the color.

  • HP Pavilion g6-2330dx Notebook: keep displaying the "Windows Installer" dialog box and pressing OK button to restart over and over again

    Hello

    I tried to update my laptop Win8 to Win10, but before that Win 8 must be upgraded to Win8.1 then Win10. Unfortunately, I encountered the problem after you install the free upgrade to WIn10.

    I decided to use the system recovery and the source is from my USB.  (I created the USB key recovery).  The restoration was completed and started making configuration suddenly my laptop just because of the excessive heat caused my laptop stop does not complete the installation of windows 8 and finished to get the dialog box of "Windows Installer".

    I inserted the USB key, but it seems that its not reading. I tried F2 - mode of the system, but it only shows the Bios and other tests not the usual display of F2.  I haven't tried F11 and same thing no chance.

    My question is, how do I make my laptop back to the operating mode as the way to reinstall the entire operating system and HP Recovery Manager or HP configurations.

    Do I need to buy a CD of HP recovery my laptop?

    I have HP reactions appreaciate or someone who is ready to help and assist.

  • I can't find 'save to desktop' in the Save as dialog box to an Excel on Win7

    In fact I do not see how to save any kind of file on my desktop with Win 7 and MS Office 2007 Pro.

    There is that no more save it as only includes orders for the economy in several formats, but the dialog box that opens shows not the desktop as the destination to save in.  The only affected destinations are;  models, Favorites, libraies, residential, computer group, WIN7C and network.  I explored all the and can not find any "desktop."

    Desktop is not listed under Favorites on the left side of the Save as
    dialog box? Simply click on it.

    But note that I strongly recommend against save data files in the
    desktop computer. My recommendation is that you put nothing else that shortcuts on
    the desktop computer. There are two things wrong to put the real files it:

    1. one day probably will remove you a real file, thinking that you were
    just remove a shortcut.

    2. you you cluttering up the desktop with too many files, making it difficult
    to find what you are looking for.

    You have to put your files Excel (and other real data files) in the
    Documents folder. If you have some of these files you want
    access often, put shortcuts to these files on the desktop.

  • Pipette in the curve adjustment dialog box average pixels, so the color balance is watered.

    Hi all.

    When you use the pipette to set the points black and white pixels of an image in the dialog box curve setting, I found that it seems not middle of the neighbouring pixels or provide a way to select a value "monochrome".  Thus, the color balance is still impaired and is thrown way if you happen to choose a noisy pixel (for example).

    I expect that there is an option to set the size of the sampling for the pipette area, but I don't see one.  I have considered making the monochrome image, defining curves, save them as a preset, and then reload the image color and apply the preset (if she does not leave me); but this seems heavy and hokey.  What is the usual procedure to adjust the tone curve of the image without changing its color balance?

    Thanks for any idea.

    When you select an eyedropper in the curves adjustment dialog box, you went to the eyedropper tool.

    You then set the sample in the Options bar.

    In the curves adjustment layer, any pipette also has sample settings in the Options bar.

  • Use the own user dialog box

    Hello

    I want to use my own user dialog box at startup of the user interface. This dialog gets the user to a database of information and I'm not logging in twice.

    Is it possible, where can I disable the standard dialog box, where I should put my dialog box and what data should I send to TS.

    Using TS3.0 and LV8.2.1.

    schwede greetings

    Schwede-

    If you want to change the user login dialog box when you start TestStand, what you want to do is to change the sequence of LoginLogout in the sequence FrontEndCallbacks.seq file. Before editing, I recommend that you copy the folder \Components\NI\Callbacks\FrontEnd \Components\User\Callbacks in the Directory. Then, modify the files there. You want to replace the steps of connection and disconnection of the sequence of LoginLogout with your own steps that display your own personal dialog box.

    I hope this helps.

  • Native of filebrowse using and the cascading Save dialog box

    In my application I need to open file and file save dialog box when a specific button is clicked. I looked at the docs of stunts, but I found that the native options. Tried the native alert dialog, change of filebrowse dialog type. It displays well on Simulator, but could not get any output file that will be used in the Qt code.

    Hello again, here's the example as promised.

    To use the native filebrowse dialog box, the native code must run in its own thread to prevent the user interface in the Cascades to block. This is achieved by encapsulating all the dialog box code in a class derived from QThread.  The class I wrote is called FileBrowseDialog

    This class derives from QObject (by QThread) which means that it can be used by QML when it exposes properties and signals. The FileBrowseDialog class has 3 properties

    -multiple selection: a Boolean flag indicating if single or multiple selection is allowed

    -filepaths: a read only value that returns the list of files selected

    -Filters: a read/write value is where you can specify one or more filters to file (for example, ".doc", "*.jpg") etc.

    The next part is how you call the FileBrowseDialog through the QML. To do this, we must inform the QML of the FileBrowseDialog page. This is done in the App class via the qmlregistertype code.

    App.cpp

    #include 
    #include 
    #include 
    
    #include "app.hpp"
    #include "FileBrowseDialog.hpp"
    
    using namespace bb::cascades;
    
    App::App()
    {
        qmlRegisterType("Dialog.FileBrowse", 1, 0, "FileBrowseDialog");
        QmlDocument *qml = QmlDocument::create("main.qml");
        qml->setContextProperty("cs", this);
    
        AbstractPane *root = qml->createRootNode();
        Application::setScene(root);
    }
    

    The QML is now ready to be able to use the FileBrowseDialog. The example below is a page complete qml which has a button and a label. When we click on the FileBrowseDialog button is open, and all selected files will appear in the label.

    Main.QML

    import bb.cascades 1.0
    import Dialog.FileBrowse 1.0
    
    Page {
        content: Container {
            Label { id: filebrowseDialogLabel }
            Button {
                text : "File Browse Dialog"
                onClicked: {
                    filebrowseDialog.show();
                }
            }
            attachedObjects: [
                FileBrowseDialog {
                    id: filebrowseDialog
                    multiselect : true
                    filters : ["*.doc","*.jpg","*.txt"]
                    onSelectionCompleted: {
                        if(filebrowseDialog.filepaths.length>0)
                            filebrowseDialogLabel.text = filebrowseDialog.filepaths[0];
                        else
                            filebrowseDialogLabel.text = "no file selected";
                    }
                    onSelectionCancelled: {
                        filebrowseDialogLabel.text = "file browse dialog was cancelled";
                    }
                }
            ]
        }
    }
    

    And it's pretty much just invoke the native dialog file navigation in stunts. Please note save the file would follow a similar model, but I found that this dialog box was not particularly useful because it displays only a simple dialogbox with a text file name entry.

    See you soon

  • The "Windows features" dialog box is empty in Windows 7

    When I click on turn on or off Windows features in the programs and features Control Panel, the Windows features dialog box is empty, no functionality is displayed. What should I do?

    Thank you buddy, but sfc.exe/scannow not worked and I faced another error! (windows resource protection could not start the repair service).

    Finally, I found the solution:
    (1) If you receive the error "Registry space" low, set the size limit of the registry to "unlimited":
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control
    Key: RegistrySizeLimit
    Type: REG_DWORD
    Value: 0xffffff (4294967295)
    (2) restart
    (3) as administrator, open a command prompt and run "SFC/scannow". The command should complete successfully and when errors have been detected, they should be corrected.
    Follow the steps and good luck!

    Hello Ulrich.

    Customization of the sign in dialog box is not currently supported. We are currently working on some additional authentication features that, when released, allows you to provide a URL to display our custom sign in the user interface in a giving web view you full control over the sign in experience. This new feature will also include support for the displaced, including SAML and OAuth2.

    As go us further in the development of this feature, I'll be able to publish the target delivery schedule.

  • Bug in the advanced Recordset dialog box?

    I have setup a site using the ASP VBScript server technology. Somehow, in the advanced Recordset dialog box I have the ASP.NET option with the parameters instead of Variables. According to the documentation should not display the settings window when using classic ASP. Its almost like Dreamweaver I'm using ASP.NET.

    When I test the retrieved recordset object data are correctly with my access according to the SQL DB. I tried to uninstall Vista Microsoft IIS support ASP.NET. This reduces the options of server technology during the definition of the Web site; but still no change when choosing ASP VBScript or ASP advanced Javascript - the Recordset dialog box still says SETTINGS VARIABLES not? Anyone know what could be the problem?

    Help appreciated,
    Mag

    System: Vista Business, Dreamweaver CS3

    The answer will depend on the version of Dreamweaver that you use. The update Dreamweaver 8.0.2 moved to the parameter type of the Recordset changes dialog box in the manner in which the recordset is constructed. The help documentation for DW8.0.2 does not seem to have been updated to reflect this change. You see the old style dialog box, if you go to:
    Help-> using Dreamweaver-> Dynamic Pages do-> define the Sources of dynamic content-> defining a Recordset-> creating a Recordset advanced by writing SQL

    So if you are using Dreamweaver 8.0.2 or later (CS3 is the next version), then you will see the settings in the dialog recordset in ASP, and you know what you are supposed to see.

  • Showing the full path of the file in the Save as dialog box

    I'm a relatively new for MAC OS and I took the habit of intelligent services on Microsoft file manipulation, in particular to the Save as dialog box. Who has a little smart "arrows" and "buttons" allowing you to ask around the system of files easily, but I faced something else in the MAC operating system.

    Finally, I was able to pass on the path of file bar in the Finder (basically, that nice, small bar with the name of folders/sub-sub-sub-folders you can switch to and it shows "where you are both in the file system"), but I don't miss the Save as dialog box. I tried to find it in the settings to turn it on, scoured the internet, talked with experts at Apple, also called the central phone number, but I couldn't learn all solutions to get the bar path of file under tension to the Save as dialog box.

    And believe me, it's very annoying, when you create a file structure when you register under ' week/Tuesday/XY client Documents/work/approvals/journal/2016/August/2nd /' a file and for the recording of the version changed the same file under the same path, but not to not only return to the file a subfolder creation there AB of the customer, I have to click again through the whole lot.

    The arrows 'story' don't help because when I click on the it puts me directly to record under the folder where I have the last recorded the previous file, or help click on the drop-down above, where records are listed because I could never find the subfolder where I want to go back to there.

    Are there solutions to get the path of file under tension to the Save dialog box under?

    Or is there a plan to get it in the new version of the operating system?

    It is the same on the open file dialog box...

    ..., and I don't want to keep a Finder opens just to copy..., on the way to the record, which was the same effort and has been even more professional!

    I would like to just turn this simple file path bar,..., even that which is available in the Finder!

    Any ideas would be appreciated, thanks for sharing your thoughts in advance, Ian

    1 NO.

  • Completely disable the "Untrusted connection" dialog box

    I am a professional developer stuck behind a proxy at work. The behavior of this power of Attorney causes the SSL connection attempts get a certificate signed by my company, not the web site I try to connect to. I have no control over the proxy, so change this behaviour is out of the question.

    I need to use Firefox for a number of things and am generally fine adding exceptions for sites that I want to connect. However, some sites like github.com loading resources many other areas via SSL (CDN, Google Analytics, Gravatar, etc.). For these sites, I try to add exceptions in order to allow the company a signed, cert but I can only add to github.com, not any other sites, so even after adding an exception I'm brought back in the right to the page "this connection is untrusted". No matter how many times I try to grant a waiver, I never really get to github.com.

    Other browsers on my system are administered remotely and seem to be configured to automatically trust signed certs society. I need to know how to manually configure Firefox to always trust these certificates OR never shows me the unreliable connection dialog box and just maybe show red in the address bar when he does not trust the site cert.

    Apparently in OS X, there are at the level of the authorities of certification system. I don't know why it does not use Firefox, but I was able to export the CA company and import it in Firefox. Finally solved my problem.

  • Can not enter wildcard (*) in the file selection dialog box when opening a file

    It's something I've not seen before. I posted this question in the forum Autodesk AutoCad LT five days ago, but I got no answer at all. Because I'm not sure whether it is a Windows or a problem with Autocad, I thought I'll try to post here, too.

    On one of our AutoCad workstations, when you open a drawing, we cannot enter a wildcard character (*) in the file selection dialog box to help unravel the drawings.

    In other words, say there are 10 versions of a drawing with the number 5008. I should be able to enter the 5008 * and just see these ten designs. On this computer, when I try to type an asterisk (*), I get this error message: invalid character. The following characters are not allowed in file names: \ /: *? "<>

    Now, I know that they are not allowed... but I don't mean to create a file name. I'm just trying to classify them. On our other RTE Autocad workstations, the wildcard character works fine.  What's up with this one? Y at - it a setting or a variable that controls this?

    Thanks - Kevin

    Hello

    ·         The problem occurs with any other application?

    It may be some setting in Auto CAD, which raises the question, and its best you seek help from experts in DAO automatic.
