Shortcut of control ring

Hi all

Is it possible to assign shortcut keys
for each of the elements in a control of the ring?  Control of the ring that I
There are currently 40 positions.  My intention is to have it as follows:

[1] Item1

[2] Item2

[3] Item3, etc...

So, once the control of the ring is active, the user can type in '20' to choose the #20 element.

I tried EVENT_KEYPRESS, but as soon as the ring of control pop ups, I can no longer trap all key events.

Thank you

Hi YL,.

The feature is not available directly as you required it.

But you can program this behavior, even if it's a little harder than it looks.

I have attached a sample project that simulates - sort of - this behavior.

In the project, there is a ring with some enumerated values.

Here, the key point is that user should not click on the ring, but was able to focus on it using the tab key. As you pointed out, once the list pop up, you can't capture key events.

You can also programmatically make the active control if it applies to your application (use SetActiveControl).

Once the active control ring (in my code it is active immediately after starting the program) just type 2 characters numerical codes.

Another key point: you must complete the 2 digit value. Thus, to select Item1 user must press ' 0 'and ' 1'.

There is also a time limit. You must press the 2 digits in 0.5 seconds. Otherwise, the second digit is considered to be the first digit of a new code number. You can improve the behavior to add a delay timer so do not enter 2 digits for the number 1 to 9, but it is perhaps too much effort unless it is necessary.

After the 2 digits are typed quickly, you can see the typed value of number on the digital indicator.

The ring is changed only if the typed value is available in its list (1-5, 10, 15, 20, 25 are the default values, I assigned).

The program is also subject to (ignore non-numeric entries).

While I didn't put on the conversion from string to int (atoi function) of error checking.

It was fun to program, I hope you find it useful too.

    I have posted a code that does something similar here: http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW/array-of-cluster/m-p/1822451#M625032

    It uses a table hint and individual controls that are moved on top of the table and populated as needed.  This approach might work for you?  You would need a two-column table and only control ring, which you would fill properly whenever the currently active cell changes.

    Hi socaljd!

    Thanks for posting.

    When setting this up, there are a few things to know.  In the upper part of the graph in the menu to set the dial is M, AV, TV, and P.

    M: manual mode

    AV: Aperture priority mode

    TV: In the shutter priority Mode

    Program P: mode

    In each of them, you must define what function is controlled by the dial to shoot in this mode.  There are two settings to choose from, TV: shutter speed and AV: opening.  For example, in mode manual m: set it to TV, the dial will control shutter speed while you are shooting in manual mode.

  • Photo animation control ring spinning problem

    Hello

    Control of animation frame ring does not turn to me as expexted.

    Can someone help me with this?

    (1) the first thing to do is to include the error checking. All functions that helps provide a return value, but you prefer to ignore it. It is better, which is safer to check each function for correct operation. Use instead of AnimateCtrl...

    status = AnimateCtrl...

    If (status< 0="">

    (2) the error returned "Panel, pop up or a menu bar handle is invalid ' indicates that a Panel is not a handful of Panel or 'PNL_SPLASH_ANIMATION' is not a valid ring with photo control." Here are the names of the constants as defined in the file include your UIR file?

  • Listed controlled ring button String

    Hey guys,.

    Is there a better way to proceed with the attached VI.

    I think I want to build a state machine, but I don't know if I want to do it because I do not understand how to use the queue and how to implement it properly.

    As you can see, I have a bunch of Boolean buttons to go on my main façade. They change the enum ring and it generates a hex command of a microphone.

    Is there a better way then to have instructions box 13?

    See you soon

    Kamilan

    Hi Kamilan,

    Your code can be done better using a structure of the event and a while loop. No need to use a state machine, if the total number of values in the control of the ring is known. Please take a look at the attached vi. Let me know if you have any additional doubts.

    Best regards,

  • Control ring during the cell table, but cell entry shows through

    Hello world!

    I have a control panel with a control of the ring which is placed above the active cell on MouseUp.

    Unfortunately the input query (or the old value) of the cell is shown through the ring-control,.

    that's not pretty.

    screenshot:

    I tried different ring-controls, but they all have the same behavior.

    Try to find answers, but the guides to build the configuration of the table-ring that I found it.

    does not mention a solution.

    I hope that some of you have seen the same problem

    and could point me in the right direction.

    : cheers: thx for your time and

    jwscs

    PS. : If the sample code is required I'll gladly provide

    OK, shortly after the display of my question, I had another idea

    I disabled the front table and that did not work, because the rows and columns of the selected cell

    cannot be determined,

    But turning off right after the selection and then later reactivation, resolved at present.

    I would be happy to know that any other method that you guys came.

  • Create shortcuts to control in the structure of the event

    I create a structure event with radio buttons dialog box.  Is it possible to create shortcuts to select each option button, similar to the underlined letter to windows?  I use a chain with keyfocus = true control to change the radio button selection, but when the user moves elsewhere, focus is lost.  Is it possible to set the focus without control of the chain in the case of delay of vote when the focus is lost?

    Because it is universal... to capture the key event seems to be the best choice.  Mostly because I wouldn't give up my function & the tab order.  I also added a second table of char ASCII codes to search and manage shortcuts of capital letters.  Thank you!

  • The Custom Toolbar control ring question

    Hello.  It is probably a stupid question, but how do I add items to a ring (kRing) toolbar item when you use the toolbar Custom Control (toolbar.fp) in CVI 2010?  Thank you.

    You can add your items first, get the ID of the control to the item toolbar via the functions Toolbar_GetCtrlFromIndex or Toolbar_GetCtrlFromDescription, then using InsertListItem to add your items to the ring.

  • Question of basic control Ring

    It is a lesson in humility, but I just found something I think no intuitive: if I initialize the Strings property of [] of a ring using an empty String array text control, control of the ring as a result of this operation has a string [] array size 1, and its unique element is a string of length 0...

    See attached extract:

    (done interesting BTW, my schema does not use a ring Refnum and a generic property node, but rather directly node ring property, but changed to generate the snippet)

    I see that when you open the Properties dialog box for the ring of text, I can't delete the last element, which name is empty, so it's consistent with the behavior above, but I think that an empty String array is an array of empty strings.

    Comments are welcome.

    Maybe it's just semantics.  You can have a ring of text with a single element is an empty string.  You can't have a ring of empty text.  There must always be at least one element.

    A ring of text is a numeric data type.  In fact an integer data type.  There is no such thing as a whole empty.  It is always to have a value.  The default value is zero.  In a ring of text you must always have at least one element, you can select.  Which means that there must be an element of an array of strings that are associated with.

    If you could have a control of the ring which is floating point data type as a double.  And you might have a data value of NaN, we could call a kind of null digital, although I don't think it's really the same principle.

  • By default the control ring

    I have a control of the ring which is to have a default value of <10200>.

    I can't replace it with a new control of the ring that I use a lot of its property nodes in different cases.

    How to remove the default... ?

    I have attached the control for reference.

    You cannot delete a default value. You can set a value by default new, different.

  • How to remove the shortcut from Control Panel wxp sp3 nindia

    Are there NVIDIA stuff in Add/Remove programs to uninstall you since you do not use?

    What happens if you right-click on the offending Panel element and choose delete it?

    In General, it is never a good idea to accept and updates from Microsoft hardware Diver (video, audio, network, etc.).

    Microsoft doesn't know what kind of drivers you need, so if they are available, their decline and say MS Update never offer them to you again if you do not accidentally install their.

    If you need hardware drivers, it is best to get them directly from the World Wide Wide Web site for the manufacturer of your hardware device.

    If you have a nice NVIDIA card that is larger than your integrated graphics, you may want to consider to see if you can make it work!

  • Control ringer volume classic blackBerry

    Hi, I love my new classic BB but I had no chance of finding ways to control the volume of the ringer. I sepcificaaly average how to silence the phone for meetings or when I'm in a movie. With "BOLD", it's simple, but I find it very confusing on the classic. Help, please!

    Hello and welcome to the community!

    Try the settings > Notifications. Then change the 'active' profile to "Silent" (or whatever you want). Alternatively, in these screens, customize each profile of works (LED, vibration, ringtones, etc) and can do so (for example, at a level of specific e-mail account, etc.).

    Good luck!
