Pull down the menu for color selection

Hi all

I am looking for help on the forum for a situation I have in my current project.

I have a function where my GUI displays the status of the current step running.

for example: If the user initiates an action: start stop acquisition acquisition, or for example, to read the log file

I have a status indicator (string) who writes... "complete acquisition / acquisition failed / abandoned acquisition (tell the user control) / data saved in the file / error has occurred" and so on according to the situation. "

now, with the text I want to display a color indicator which reprents the State. Can I use these colors for my reports as well.

I want to offer a drop-down menu to choose colors (I have 7 status messages, up to 7 colours). the user can set which status message goes with what color. I don't know how to provide such a menu drop-down.

I tried this: I have provided a table of colors and then a table of text sounds, where the user can select the status message for each color corresponding to the array index. but I'm not happy with this. I want that it the other way around.

I want to order type def of such control of selection so that I can use it in all my overtime for each indexing and display modules. with the range of colors, I can't make a def type and use it anywhere. also, if I want to change the color in the future, I don't think that this range of colors is an option.

Please give your suggestions. I always try to the solution. I'll post the solution if I find one myself.

Thank you

I found a work around for my problem. It is an extension of what I did earlier (as mentioned in my previous post).

I have a table type definition of the color options, the user can choose, and then I have a combo box control type def for status messages.

rather than pass the data of two type def in my code, I use the values in table of color box to set string 'values' in the drop-down list.

so I pass only the drop-down list box through the sub modules table, the string from the drop-down list box is mys tatus message and the value is digital color (converted to a decimal string).

Thanks for the reply, smercurio_fc

  • long pull down the menu with no vertical scroll bar

    People,

    It's been 3.5 years ago when we had to learn that there is no way to have a long drop down menu control without a vertical scroll bar. See

    http://forums.NI.com/NI/board/message?board.ID=170&message.ID=217428&query.ID=395029#M217428

    Now, after that we got LabVIEW 8.6.1 there is still no the ability to remove the vertical scroll bar if there is a 'Vertical Scrollbar Visible' property node for the drop-down list boxes. As already observed in 2006 with the drop-down list 8.2 LV Smercurio, this property node has no effect, probably because of a bug. This behavior is always the same with LV 8.6.1.

    A few days ago a user of our software have complained that the menu items would be missing. In fact, they were not, but rather he oversaw the scroll bar and do not scroll to the bottom of the column - that's why it did not find the menu items. In general, it's pretty annoying if you have to scroll first before you can select a particular item. In most cases, the scroll bar is all just useless since the Panel is large enough to display all menu items at the same time.

    How do you design a long drop-down menu on your UI? Any ideas how to get around the scroll bar mean?

    Sorry for the lengthy post. I'm afraid that you have to use the vertical scroll bar while reading my text...

    Thanks for any input,

    I think that's what you're asking.  This works for any named digital control, and I think a small change will be too much work for a drop-down list box.

  • The menu button not selectable/glitching

    I am DVD authoring in Encore. I made a menu with a background of film and two separate buttons (each links to a separate movie file). I did the buttons by selecting the text tool in the upper left of the screen, type a Word, and then selecting object/convert to button. My two buttons are placed one above the other. When I preview the menu in encore, I can select each button with the mouse. But when I press the remote virtual dvd, I can't select the second button. Any of the arrow keys of the remote control will allow me to get the first touch to the second (and vice versa). Also, whenever I press one of the arrow keys (or put my mouse on a button) menu glitches, of the music and stop for a second image distortion.

    These two problems were confirmed when I burned a DVD and played in my DVD player on my TV.

    The first video file is linked dynamically to Premiere Pro. The second is a .avi, imported and exported first in yet. The video for the menu background is also a .avi.

    First export Media Settings:

    PAL widescreen

    100% quality

    16-bit sound

    48 kHz

    Reminder settings:

    Maximum Audio/video bitrate: 8.0 Mbps

    Audio transcoding scheme: PCM.

    I suspect that the way I created buttons is false, and that which could explain the two issues... However, both problems could also be separated.

    If you have any suggestions on how to solve these problems, I would be very happy!

    See you soon!

    Select the routing in menu mode button and confirm that the navigation is configured correctly. If you want or need to change it, make sure that the auto routing is turned off.

    If it isn't, or if you have difficulties to check that, post a screenshot of the menu with button selected if routing visualization you can.

    Hey @yechiel-adar,.

    Welcome to the Forums of HP Support!

    I understand that your color HP LaserJet Pro 100 M175a multifunction fails to install on your computer Windows 8.1 as the computer recognizes your printer as a CD drive and the installation fails at 83%. I would like to help you to solve this problem today. To be honest, it sounds like there is a conflict between your computer and the HP Smart Install feature. Smart Install is a feature that has been programmed into the new models of Laserjet. It allows you to simply plug a USB cable and the installation files will load on your computer for you for faster and easier installation.

  • 'Pulling down', the office produces an interesting effect

    Here's something to try:

    On the desktop of Windows 8, move your mouse cursor at the top of the screen. The pointer turns into a hand. Left click of the hand and pull-down.
    On my computer, which reduces the Office of a small window on a purple background - the same background color as my startup screen. Do not let go of the left button of the mouse.
    Now, drag the window of your desktop on the left or right of the screen. A black bar (with a "grabber") will appear and you will see a portion of a second office.
    To return to the normal just click in the main screen area.
    Now, WHAT was it all about? Practical no utility for it?

    This allows you to put your office-by-side a modern application.  As the new calendar app in one side and the Office on the other side, separated by the black bar.

  • Why the menu highlights color does not cover the text?

    Hi, for some time now, creating DVD menu highlight color (all that I choose) was not completely covering the text and looks bad. I have attached a screenshot. The menu was created in Photoshop.

    Hi Neil, I also thank you for the answer. The ratio is 1300 x 720 (I thought it would be 1280 x 720, but that's what he showed me under the size of the image).

    The highest point is the text, if it is the result of doing what I described in my response to Stan. Right click and select the text, then 'object', "convert to button" allows me to import psd. When you talk using an icon instead, can you give me an example? Does that mean that I could have the text in the chart, but create a circle round beside him in photoshop or similar then convert that circle to a button in again?

    Hiya Sean.

    First problem is the size of the beast - 1300 x 720 is not good for the DVD, nor is 1280 x 720 - you need to 720 x 480 (NTSC) pr 720 x 576 (PAL).

    NTSC widescreen turns a pixel aspect ratio (PAR is something different to the resolution of the image) of 1.2121:1, PAL around 1.4: 1 so the pixels are not square to start by - they are stretched (aka "anamorphosée").

    This will distort the text from the beginning, and if the background uses also text with a climax as the overlay so no one will be the same.

    I gave up with the text for the buttons a return long (it will work in Blu - ray the nature of square pixel addition 256 colours allowed for buttons) because the limit of 3 colors of the subpicture select Layer (the image of the button real itself) really means that at best all overlays of text button will be shredded. I often use a pixel 8 by 4 pixels rectangle, drawn in Photoshop. This seems to properly size.

    Your description of the process is approximately correct in yet. It should work.

  • You guys how drop-down the menu thing? helpp

    Tables:
    /------------------/
    /adinstance /.
    /----------------/

    /--------------------------/-----------------------------------/    /----------------------------/---------------------------/
    / DROP DOWN / Power Rating / / # 110 circuits / number of 208 circuits .
    / (110 or 208)     / (input any #, eg 500)    /      /-----------------------------/-------------------------/

    /----------------------/-----------------------------------/      /        x                   /              y         /
    /----------------------------/-------------------------/

    I had the function of calculation to determine the number of circuits 110 and 208 and it's OK:

    Math.ceil ((Table2.Row2.Cell(1_or_2).rawValue / 110 or 208) / 20 (110) or 30 (for 208))

    Its becomes quite difficult for me because of the thing drop-down list box since in the first instance, suppose you get (3) 110 circuits, when you add another instance and it gives you another 2 circuits, these two results would add up and have 5 110 of circuits, the same with the 208 circuits and so on...

    I need guidance please! I've included a test file with the just in case basic layout. Thank you!

    Hi Cassandra,.

    In the drop-down list you "specified values' in the object/link tab. For example, when the user sees and selects "120"; Acrobat see also "120" linked data.

    It is a very powerful appearance lists drop-down, because you can set the drop-down "120 Volt" menu item and then continue to the value specified for '120 '. The user sees 120 volts, but behind the scenes the .rawValue is 120.

    That's why in the script, I can access the .rawValue, which is "120".

    If you copy this back into a real shape, then make sure the drop down menu has also specified values in the binding tab.

    Hope that helps,

  • 'Windows 7' color scheme is missing from the menu "change color scheme".

    I restarted my netbook once after trying in vain to change my background, and suddenly the taskbar, the start menu and all the windows that I raise look old, like Windows 98-style. I searched "themes" and got "Change color scheme" on a result. All that was there were four options of "High contrast" and "classic Windows". I googled the problem and a solution I found was to do EXACTLY what I did... except on the menu they showed, there was a color scheme option "Windows 7 Basic" in the same menu. I guess it has been deleted in the menu scheme of color somehow; is it possible to restore it?

    Hey, Jordan.

    I know that this could be solved more easily if you had access to the personalization Gallery to choose the basic theme.  Unfortunately, it is not included in Windows 7 Starter.  My best for you right now would be the system restore, restore your system configuration "in time" to before the beginning of the question.

    Please note that the system restore only restores the backup copies of the key system files and run a system restore will lose not or "roll back" any of your files, emails, documents, photos, or anything else.  In addition, if you run the restore and you don't like the results for some reason, you can cancel it immediately.  All the restoration takes about 3 minutes.

    To start, type in the word "Restore" in your search box on your Start menu.

    If it solves your problem, click on the link "Propose as answer" below and vote as useful by clicking on the green triangle for the lelft. Thank you!

  • Lumetri slows down the encoding of color correction more "obsolete."

    Based on my own informal tests, I notice that Lumetri effects on an element in a sequence slows down the process of encoding significantly compared to the same general objective realized with effects of correction of the so-called color "obsolete". Other messages on the forum seem to confirm this.

    I guess the older "out-of-date" color correction effects are far from obsolete. Looks more Adobe innovates and push this crowd of material premium to their last, Lumetri, but that the older effects are more obsolete than obsolete, probably to be there for a long time... iow, use them as you wish for you will hit all compat issues in the foreseeable future.

    Is that what that sounds right?

    My goal by asking is to better align myself as a user of first... my tendency is to take the final product as user recommendations, but that can be a trap when it is really a big innovative push who sometimes material/performance hits that make it unrealistic for all users.

    I have a portable old 5 year, the Sony Vaio VPCF215FX w/6 GB RAM, NVIDIA GeForce GT 540 M, 1 TB SSD.  I am able to do, but I really need to think intelligently avoiding external USB drives, using smart rendering, etc. When I tried an experiment with older color effects, I saw a significant reduction in the encoding time (General of my test described below). For this reason, I'm stepping back and thinking that the push 'use Lumetri' everything is beautiful for those who really need, want, and also have the material that can reasonably be taken in charge, but maybe not for someone like me, at least if I can avoid using older effects and with all the same. I just can't justify Lumetri in some cases where it slows down encoding medium.

    It is not that my hw is unable to use it but when I can use older effects and get a nice discount time coding for my not pro use, seems useful to avoid the Lumetri currently, until the upgrade hw or something. I wanted to just check-in here on the forum because everything above is me in a vacuum, I felt ready to hear some voices from the community on my point of view.

    Oh, my test...

    Create two sequences, each with the same single element from the same ~ 60 second clip of Canon EOS 70 d (ALL-I, 1920 x 1080, 23.976 FPS, MPEG-4 AVC / H.264, VBR in.) Container MOV), where each sequence has the following effects of color...

    Seq1-UsingLumetri uses the following color effects:

      • Lumetri #1 (primary): globally adjust contrast/tone/WB Correction of basic and secondary HSL to affect parts of the installation image.
      • Lumetri #2 (secondary): none other than the Secondary to affect an object moving on tracks with a circular mask.

    Seq2-NonLumetri uses the following color effects:

      • The fast color corrector: adjust overall contrast/tone/WB (identical to what Lumetri No. 1 above is without its Secondary).
      • #1 RGB color corrector: Color Correction secondary only to affect certain parts of the image (the highest Lumetri #1 only secondary HSL what).
      • #2 RGB color corrector: secondary color Correction only affect an object moving on tracks with a circular mask (what does the #2 above Lumetri).

    I coded then everyone if above with such parameters as input media, none made smart (because I want to see encoding time with effects) and out of type, etc. The result was that Seq1-Lumetri took about 225 seconds, while Seq2-NonLumetri took about 150 seconds, about 50% more time when using Lumetri on the same ~ 60 second clip entry.

    Note, part of the reason why I'm here is to ask my question above one, sort of general/summary, but it is also based on my not not having seen a single Lumetri color correction tutorial that describes these nuances... check in shades that seem to be essential for efficient use of the product by someone like me. I want to know about Lumetri, that's fine, but I also really want to know how to use the product together more effectively... to do this, seems to me, should not take account of the effects of color more older 'obsolete '. I want to at least know if there is agreement, or if I could be missing something here.

    Thank you!

    "Legacy" color tools more elderly are simpler "peripheral" in the code if I understand and don't work... especially... but as has been clearly established by colorists, especially if you do anything with the "" range"in the young or 3-way controls, you can get weird and very... results not correct not...

    That said, if you stick to their tools without using the modifiers of the range and not to push things too far, they work for the most part, kind of like what you would expect.

    Thus, on this laptop old of yours, stick to the Legacy tools is probably a good thing. And works very well for you. If you move up to a more recent material, you probably want to look more like the Lumetri Panel.

    Currently, I am working with the help of a mixture of Lumetri for the 'main' ranking, but using 3-way & RGB secondary additional & such.

  • menu of hyperlink is displayed when text is selected, not when the Menu item is selected. And of course does not display the available links. Where I'm wrong?

    Try to make hyperlinks in a menu item. If I select the menu item, the menu of hyperlinks is not displayed in the menu bar. If I click on new and then the tex in the link is selected, the hyperlink menu appears but the drop down menu does not offer the available links. Where I'm wrong?

    I think you use a menu by default on the page?

    It's design of menu by default, because they are already linked with the respective pages that you can't change.

    You can try to create the menu manual.
