How to create a dialog box with a counter visible timeout?

I have a dialog box which may arise when nobody is on the screen.  I would like to display a countdown in the dialog box that allows the operator knows that there so many seconds to make a decision before the program goes forward.  Is there a way to make the dialog box update while it is displayed?  What I have to do a sub VI or y at - it an easier way?  Any suggestions?

To the best of my knowledge, you will not be able to change the construction in the dialog boxes to display a timer.  Maybe it's actually possible, but I doubt it's easy.

In my opinion, you need to use a Subvi and display the front panel when it is called.  Organize the façade visually resemble the dialog box should appear with a digital indicator.  Feed the Subvi timeout value (which will allow you to decide when exit the while loop).  Use the "number of cycles (ms)" both inside and outside the while loop.  On the outside will mark the time during which the Subvi has been called.  Subtracting the two will change in time (how long the Subvi has worked in ms).  You can subtract this figure from the value of timeout and this thread to the digital indicator.  This will give you the effect of a countdown.

If this value is less than zero, exit the while loop.  Similarly, if the operator performs certain tasks, exit the while loop.  On a side note, you can add a button to stop the countdown.  This will be useful if the operator gets to the screen with 2 seconds left.

  • BlackBerry smartphone how to create a dialog box with edit controls

    Hi guys,.

    I am trying to create a dialog box that has a couple of input fields - one is a selection list (drop-down list), and the other is a text box. I know the custom dialog boxes can be created, but I'm not sure that it is possible to add several input fields. Is this correct?

    In this case, what alternatives can I?

    My main goal is to have a sort of modal popup / dialog box that can be used on different platforms to BB, without having to manually set the Properties screen for each layout.

    Thanks in advance.

    OK, I was able to find a solution with the help of a subclass of the screen. I would like to know if there is a better sense, though. If anyone knows, please post a reply.

    I want to add images and make to look like this:



    But I admin that it's too complex for my short knowledge get the appropriate result. Can you show me how I can split dialog box, add second bottom and make my code to look the same as this example please?

    I think that you can accomplish what you want by wrapping your 'vbox' VBox in an another VBox... Let's call it outerVBox. In outerVBox, you put a node ImageView and 'vbox'. To create the node ImageView (for example):

    Image bkgrdImage = new Image(getClass().getResourceAsStream("resources/my_pic.jpg"));
    ImageView bkgrdImageView = new ImageView(bkgrdImage);
    

    And then add nodes to outerVBox:

    outerVBox.getChildren().addAll(bkgrdImageView, vbox);
    

    (And of course to create the scene instance using outerVBox instead of "vbox.")

    Hi all

    I am trying to create a thread in which I am trying to establish an http connection. But when there is an exception. I want to inform the user of the exception by pushing a dialogue or a modal screen. But the dialogue is not calling. Any body knows how to push the inner thread dialog box

    / public class GPRSChanlInf implements Runnable {}

    Looks OK code, intervened you in the code to ensure that the dialog box is actually called?

    Also can you confirm that this code is executed by a UiApplication who has "enterEventDispatcher()."

  • How to create a transparent box with only the colored border visible

    I'm trying to highlight something on a piece of data and I just have a simple box that describes the area of content that I am highlighting, but obviously the viewer must see through the content box.

    If you want more control you can use the Rectangle tool and add a line with layer styles or lower opacity

    and then you can move, resize, or change the color at any time.

    Highlights:

    1. draw the retangle, double click on the shape layer in the layers panel to select the color and then lower the opacity of the layer to your taste.

    You can use the move tool to reposition the box or resize by clicking on one of the corner handles.

    Race:

    1. pull the rectangle.

    2. in the effects with Layer Styles Panel, choose visibility and hide

    (the color of the rectangle will be diappear)

    3. go to layer > layer Style > Style settings and choose STROKE from the dialog box.

    (you can choose the color and size of the line in the dialog box)

  • How to create a dialog box custom?

    Hi guys,.

    I would need to create a custom dialog which allows the user to enter text and check a box. Is this possible? I guess I need to extend the class dialogue... is goal an example that shows how to add some input fields, in addition to simple things such as changing the background color?

    Thank you.

    You're pushing the display of password and then pushing your main screen above it. This is why you do not.

    Push the screen first, and then push the screen of your password. Then when you close the password screen, the screen of your sector will come to the top of the stack.

    Tap the screen to pass on top of the main screen.

    You close the PopupScreen within the PopupScreeen class, when you are finished. Call close() in popupscreen class.

    If the password is not good, then run System.exit (0);

  • How to create a bounding box in Photoshop CS6?

    Hello, group.

    The other day, I saw an Adobe web page that showed a picture whose part was a sheet inside. The sheet was locked in a bounding box. However, it seems unlikely that the person working on this image needed (where this picture was concerned) for the text tool. If you need to place a block of type within a bounding box, you simply select the text tool and drag. This creates a bounding box.

    What of those occasions when no text is at issue, but simply a physical object in the picture? How to create a bounding box for this?

    Thank you for all the helpful tips.

    S.G.

    You can also use the move tool, with "Show transform controls" checked in the options.

  • Dialog box with multiline entry?

    I work on the automation of one of our most tedious chart types, a typed statement upward and ran into an obstacle. I have a pop up dialog box that the user fills out. They put in the name of the applicant, position, and then I have a large space to paste them into the text, they would like to insert into the chart. Unfortunately, it only sticks the first line of the text. Is it possible to enter several lines in a dialog box? Initial searches lead me to believe that entered fast can only be a single line, but I have to imagine that there is a way. Any ideas? Not having not any problems making the text in the box, the question is stick it in the dialog box.
