Programmatically determine the default value of control

Hello

I'm trying to understand a reasonably sustainable method to detect if the sub VI input is wired.

I use the approach to the definition of an absurd default for the control, and then by comparing the current value of the control to a constant of this value. If they are not equal, so I pass the value of the control in my registry to offset. If they are equal, I hold that any value has been previously in the shift register. In this case, I created a driving force that allows me to update the status bar.

It works because my progress meter is a U8 I'll never write 0-100, so I can set my default to something outside this range (in this case, 255) for my comparison. Something similar should be relatively simple to understand and reuse in the future.

However, there is a dependency on a person if the default value for the control and the update of the constant comparison to match. My question: is there a method to check the default value for a control programmatically in order to remove the coupling? I realize that any method would be invariably slower with regard to execution, but it's simply out of curiosity.

I think that this method is reasonably justifiable if you document correctly and it works for me. Other developers do not tend to change the default values of the controls without reason.

That said, the Control class has a default property, but I think it's private and it may not work when you generate an EXE file.

If you want something that is more explicit, you can build a polymorphous VI - have one version of the VI with the entrance and the other without. The main problem is that users may not know that the entrance is there for them to wire without looking at instances of the polyVI, so I still prefer the method of the invalid value.

    I tried a few magic Server VI in vain (LabVIEW crashed)

    Any suggestions?

    See you soon

    Oli

    Hello Oli

    With some, as you named: "Magic VI Server", it is possible to edit the default class data and save it as the same/new class. However, there are at least three major problems:

    • This is not possible in the runtime, because it requires features available only in script development
    • If you want to save the class changed as the new class, she would need to copy all the screws and the controls of this class
    • It is simply inefficient.

    So before we go any further, could you explain more thoroughly, why would you want to? If you have two classes, which are exactly the same, but differ on data default field values, this is absolutely not a good idea and not a good software design. And relying on the default values may generally lead you to unexpected behavior of your program in the future, when you decide to change these default values.

  • Reset the default value does not

    'Reset to the default value' does not work for my ListBox multicolumn, but it works for my string flags.  Someone at - he never encountered this before?

    I tried to remove all the elements and setting "default value to', but after another execution of the program, still not reset to nothing.  I have to do it programmatically in my code, and I can't do using the server reference VI Reset at the same time.  I have to define arrays of strings individually to null.

    I use a large number of nodes of property in my loop of consumer to read/write the values in the front panel.  Not sure if this is related.

    Thank you.

    This occurs because the value of a multicolumn listbox is a digital scalar or table (depending on the selection mode of the control) Express which line or the currently selected cell.

    "Reset to default" only resets the values and no other properties. In this case, it is the property of ref that hosts that we consider intuitively the value of listbox mc, but it's not.

  • How to give the default value for an attribute in the OPA

    Hello

    I need a default attribute boolean to true at the beginning of the session of the OPA. I need to use it to control the visibility on some pages.

    Can someone please throw light on how to best implement this?

    Thank you.

    You have a few options (as always with the OPA!)

    If you use determinations of Web and that you have defined your own screens, then the easiest way is to define a default in the screen - you can either do a default static or dynamic based on an attribute is proved by a default rule.

    If you want a value by default when you debug without using screens, so you're better off just writing a rule to set the default value. It's kinda interesting with a Boolean value as you do not need to tell the value of the attribute OPA - it is inherent in the name of the attribute. For example, if you had a conclusion "control is visible" (with no = "true" or whatever it is) it would be set to 'control is visible' to 'true '. Set it to false, you simply need to type "control is not visible" - which actually (thanks to OPA assuming a 'subsidiary conclusion') defines "control is visible" to "false".

    You can then replace it in the debugger of via a screen issue (if you force the question).

    I don't know how it would work with server of determinations if you had a default value proved by a rule, but has also provided a value in the data - maybe someone else can clarify if the rule takes precedence over the input data? My usual approach is to try locally in OPM and see (using something like SOAPUI to integrate with the determinations OPA server web service). If that's the best way to implement this course (or indeed if using a default value of visibility control screen is best practice) is difficult for me to say - I am a relative beginner!

    Hope that helps a little...

  • Setting the default value when a def type strict

    If my Subvi has a control that is be a strict type defined cluster and I saved values in the control as the values by default, how can I change the default values in the type definition (which is empty).  Because this is a strict definition of type, I can't click on items within the cluster and change (for example, click on a table inside the cluster and make an empty array operation.)

    In the attached screenshot, control 'WHEAT meters to Test' is just an array of bunches and I was able to clear the Board.  Control "Data of Capture" is a strict type def.  I want to erase the contents of this control without having to remove the control and add it back with a new instance of the same type strict FED.

    Yes the clusters within the strict type def cluster are also type defs and control over this Subvi is the only place where the default values are in clusters because they have been registered as default values for the control when I was doing developer test on the VI.  All real .ctl files have default values default to them.

    I just realized that even if the objects inside the strict type def cannot be selected with the mouse, right-click operation still works and the values can be modified or deleted.  I don't think I need more help with this problem.

    Thanks to all who responded.

  • I can't have my Subvi simply use the default values for some of its entries?

    I use the code for a DS345 machine, using the sample code from here: http://sine.ni.com/apps/utf8/niid_web_display.download_page?p_id_guid=E3B19B3E9149659CE034080020E748...

    I use version 7.0 (because I'm in 7.1).

    Anyway. I managed to get the proper waveform I wanted, just stored waveform in the default values and frequency input, so I can some frequency I want input. When I run the example VI itself, it displays the waveform for the machine just that very well, however, when I use this example VI as a Subvi, it didn't come out of the machine data.

    Any ideas?

    Thank you

    Edit:

    When I say defaults for some of its entries, I mean the values that are usually connected by a user, controls that are not 'inputs' in VI.

    I understood the question, and I must say that I am embarrassed. If you look at the code, I'm feeding a resource VISA name, when the Subvi needs just a chain with the GPIB address number.

  • is there a way to reset the appearance of front object to the default values?

    Is there a way to reset front panel control or the appearance of the indicator to the default values? For example, let's say you take a Panel before complext, change all the fonts size, ridiculous color random colors and resize all controls and indicators of odd sizes and then save the VI. So, what is the most effective to reset the controls and indicators way to default appearance they had when they were initially created? Is the fastest way to create a new control or the indicator for each control ruin and the indicator and rewire the entire schema?

    -root

    You could do a replace (right click) on the updated control and replace it with the original order, this would save you the rewiring but when even require manual labor.

  • How to set the default value of the component selectOneChoice in the table to the ADF

    Hi all

    I use jdev 11.1.1.6.0 version.

    I used an adf table in which an attribute is selectOnceChoice.

    To create the table and selectOneChoice I used the data control java bean.

    and drag and drop a table and after that I have drag and drop one of the attributes as selectonechoice and linked with the return of the method list as < key, value > pair.

    I want the default value to select only one option in each attribute rows.

    I checked with simillar issue on post next, but not yet resolved.

    
    
    
    
    

    My jspx code is

    
    <af:column id="c11"
                                             headerText="Invoice To" >
                                        <af:outputText value="#{row.invoiceTo}" id="ot19"/>
    <af:selectOneChoice value="#{bindings.invoiceTo.inputValue}"
                                                        label="#{bindings.invoiceTo.label}"
                                                        required="#{bindings.invoiceTo.hints.mandatory}"
                                                        shortDesc="#{bindings.invoiceTo.hints.tooltip}"
                                                        id="soc3"
                                                        autoSubmit="true"
                                                        valuePassThru="true">
                                      <f:selectItems value="#{bindings.invoiceTo.items}"
                                                     id="si4"/>
                                    </af:selectOneChoice>
    </af:column>
    
    
    

    where invoiceTo is the table attribute and the invoiceTo attribute is dragged and dropped as a SOC function list Source data mapped data value with the List attribute

    and the display attribute

    Data value = invoiceTo List = lovMasterKey attribute

    Display attribute = lovMasterValue

    that list is maintained at < lovMasterKey, lovMasterValue >

    According to the value of invoiceTo line, it should show as default value is selectOneChoice, but its showing no not as a default value.

    Please, help me how set the default value of selectOneChoice in the table according to each value line invoiceTo.

    Thank you all for the help on this issue.

    Problem has been resolved.

    Reason for this was used

    It is solved using code used for the list built for selectoneChoice more

      List lovMasterList = new ArrayList();
    
    SelectItem siItem = new SelectItem();                      
    
    siItem.setLabel(objAfCmnLovMasterListVO1.getLovMasterValue());
    
    siItem.setValue(objAfCmnLovMasterListVO1.getLovMasterKey());
    
      lovMasterList.add(siItem);
    

    Now, I used the code where the line below. InvoiceTo is the key and row.invoiceToItems are the list of articles for selectOneChoice.

    
    
    
      
    
    

    Thank you very much...

  • How can I validate a dropdown list NOT accepting the default value?

    I have a fillable form where I need the user to select their "number of employees". I've added several lines as their options in a drop-down list (1-10, 11-25, 26-50, 50 +). My question is "defult value" is set to "1-10" and people submit it without changing the correct value.

    I changed the value for default "-select -", but it allows them to always submit the form with the value entered.

    I guess I need some sort of validation script that will basically say - "If the value of this field is - select one - do not submit the form, but give an error that says 'Please select your number of employees' or something of the sort."

    Basically I just want what they choose something as opposed to just submit it with the default value.

    I looked everywhere and am not very good with JS.

    You can't have the default set to a possible real value. You need a value that must be selected.

    So for your sending script, you will need to test all your required fields to make sure that they are not at the default value.

    You make a variable that assumes that all required fields are filled and then check each field and if one still has the default value that you set your variable to 'false' and then when you have verified all of the fields that you test the value of the variable and only if she is true to send you the form.

    var bSumbit = ture; logical variable for test submission

    Test menu drop-down # of employees

    this.getField ("number of employees".). required = false; Disable the required property

    If (this.getField ("number of employees"). value == "-select one - ') {}

    Determine = false;

    this.getField ("number of employees".). required = true; Set the required property

    }

    {if (bSubmit)}

    your submit acation;

    } else {}

    App.Alert (' not all required fields completed", 0, 1);

    }

  • The default value based on the field from another table to a custom object

    I'm trying to set the default value to a field in the custom object to the value of a field of account. I tried the syntax 50 ways different and just don't get the case. The label for the account field displays the form of s/n, the integration of the tag is ltDBA_ACCT and it appears in the fx reports area as Account.Text_22.

    The field of custom object that I am triying update is also called s/n, which was originally the required field 'NAME '. The name of the table, account, should it be included? Do I need a function to the field?

    I've updated the external ID using the line with syntex < ID > ID (at least higher ID) so I know that it is possible to define a default value, but s / < n >, < ltDBA_ACCT >, 'account '. "" S/n "and so on are simply not working.

    If anyone knows how to get into what I would be really grateful for the help.

    OK, so if you default a field to the value of another object, you must use the JoinFieldValue function. I think you understand that, based on your original post, but I want to be sure you do.

    Then this won't work by default if the folder is created from the object that you want to join the because a default works in record creation and the ID must be available so that it works correctly. It will not work if you choose the record of the related object after that registration of the custom object is created. You can set the default after, but that does not meet your requirements.

    The syntax of the default are the following: JoinFieldValue (ref_record_type, foreign_key, field_name).

    In your case, ref_record_type is '', foreign_key is [] and field_name is ''. The best way is to determine what is the name of the field to create a new workflow for the account and use the Workflow Rule Condition expression builder to choose your field ("DBA") in the list. The value returned by the expression builder must be placed in the field_name variable in the function JoinFieldValue (minus the parentheses and quotes).

    Give it a shot and let me know how you do.
