Text size in compiled exe - required tutorial files changes!

Hello, can someone explain how to manage the text sizes in control and list boxes to make them predictable in the final application?

I just got very frustrated when an exe compiled labview which works very well on a test PC for a few days has completely changed the size of most of the elements of text when I moved it to the first production machine!

It started with my upgrade of the development system of LV2015 to LV2015sp1 and at the same time change for a new laptop computer. All the text was larger in the front panels.

I got little support help to understand this, but many had to be corrected manually. I learned not to use the windows 7 Zoom to 125% or 150% for example.

Exe, I built and run on the development computer looked like enough to when it is run within the development system.

But when I installed the software on a PC to test all the text was smaller... I had to move all the controls again and enlarge the text to make it visible.

And now finally when I took the exe file of work of the test system for the production system the text was bigger still...

There is clearly something I don't understand here, I hope someone can enlighten me! I mostly let the police stay on "make application 15 p" or whatever the standard configuration is, simply by changing the size if necessary.

Versions

All systems are Windows 7 Swedish, all running in 64-bit windows.

LabVIEW is 32-bit 2015sp1 (tried on the old system of dev with 2015 32 bit - the same result)

Runtime is LV2015f1 and f3 as I have found no 2015SP1 TERM.

Set current font to something fixed (standard windows fonts 7 is Segoe UI, in XP it was arial). Do not use any system, dialog, fonts of the application on the façade. Most controls use the application fonts. So Ctrl + A-> set fixed font.  The internal components of the controls (chart axis fonts, type defs) sometimes need to be adjusted manually.

Check vi has no checkmarks on properties vi-> window size page (keep the proportions for different display resolutions, on the scale as window resizes).

  • Windows 7 default text size medium 125%. How can I change?

    I have internet search and found most users windows 7 would have found the default text size is smaller 100%, but my average is 125%

    the problem now is if I put it to the smallest, some application always takes the value of 125% as it is the "default".

    If you go to control panel-> display control-> change the size of text. you will see that the default value is initially smaller: more small - 100% (default value)

    Can I get help? It is very fustrating that I use 125% just for some applications to work correctly.

    Hello destine,

    It seems that one of the options in the colors of your advanced windows has been changed. You may need to experiment a bit to find out exactly who should be changed in order to solve the problem you are having, but experimenting a bit, it seems that maybe that's the Box of Message.

    To change the font of the Message box:

    • Right click on the desktop
    • Click personalization
    • Click the window color
    • Click on advanced appearance settings
    For element, use the drop-down arrow menu > select Message box

    Under police > change the size to 9 > click OK

    Hope this helps

    When I add text to an image that starts as a RAW file, I have no problem. When I try to add text to an image that is only a jpg file, the size of the text is extremely low. Even when I change the the font size to 72 pt, it is always small. How can I fix it?

    You set the font size to a size that is suitable for the size of the document.   Size of the document may vary everywhere.   To resolve this problem in action, I solved in scaling the document to a known size then use a font suitable for a document of this size.  When you resize an image using size with resample Images not only checked a single pixel is change everything that is changed is the DPI image resolution setting.  So if you size a picture 8 "wide you choose a font size is good for wide image 8" the Save action.  To work around the problem of changing the size of the printing I wrote a Script to use in such an action.  The script is used twice, there is a backup and restore script.   The first time that the script is used the script records the resolution DPI images in the metadata documents.  The second time that the script is executed, it retrieves the registered PID parameter deletes the record of metadata from images and set the DPI images that had been saved.    If the use of fonts for the document 8 "will be resized to fit the print original size.

    In a script, you can calculate a correct font size to use.  Actions cannot retrieve information or use logic. They need to use the Plug-ing and Script where logic is needed.  When you make using Photoshop UI you use your eyes and brain.

  • Building with compile.exe made inconsistent project CVI

    Hi all

    I have to build CVI projects using the command-line compile.exe. It works well, except that after compiling when I open the project with LabWindows/CVI, files (.h, .c, .uir...) are not sorted by category more (source files, Include files, User Interface Files) in the project tree.

    Build DLL projects and I use autoincrement the version number. When I disable the AutoIncrement, the problem

    disappears, but I absolutely need this option enabled.

    Is there a solution to keep the files sorted by category after compiling from command line?

    Thank you

    David

    PS: I'm using LabWindows/CVI 2009 (v9.1.0).

    Hi David,

    This looks like a bug. I was able to reproduce the problem and wrote a bug report (id: 240425). It will be fixed in the next version of the CVI.

    From now on, I'm not aware of any workaround. Once the bug is the subject of an investigation I'll let you know if we find something.

    Sorry for the inconvenience!

  • Explorer.exe keeps the name change, deletion etc. of media files.

    I do not know in which category falls THIS problem...
    Feel free to sort where it belongs to.

    The next thing happen very often:

    I can't rename a file or folder. It is not the permissions. It's allways explorer.exe locks the file. Logging and turn it on again solve the problem most of the time, so I can remove/rename the file Explorer. In cases where this does not work I opening of session and closing session again, open a cmd.exe shell and remove the file without problem.

    The types of files are .wma, .wmv, .mp3, .avi .jpg etc. all types of typical media files + a few others.

    If the source of the problem is continuation of behavior:
    Vista explorer.exe opens the file for read the news there, like extif of information in files .jpg, like mp3-ID3-tag, etc etc.
    Can we prevent the explorer.exe to open these files for playback and the verification of the information? Win XP, one way to solve it (partially) which was to unregister the shmedia.dll, in Vista, it seems to be "" wmploc. "." DLL", but I prefer first an email of confirmation.

    It's even worse with .exe files, where allways Vista (and XP) open the file to check for the icon resource, so on slow network, this leads to serious problems.

    Questions are...
    1. How can it be prevented that Vista opens various types of multimedia files to check their content and hang in part to the fact that (rename/delete prevention)?
    2. can it be prevented that Vista opens all .exe files to search for an icon resource, especially on the VPN or ANY network connection? I do almost all my (via VPN) stuff filecopy in a shell because I know that explore crashes after a few seconds due to this behavior.

    KB956592 is already installed, it helps a little, but only a little because it isn't the navigation folder that really does hang, it is the action of file - open (especially with the .exe).

    Before ask you: I have already change one of the biggest disadvantages of vista (this .reg file should explain itself if easy to do in words) so he checks any way content of the media due to the "automatic file type detection", but it always opens these files when they're accidentally hovering over these files and so crashes on certain files or make the undeletable and unrenameable.

    This kind of thing is confirmed by vista resource monitor and pious sysinternals (now wininternals) tools, I see that explorer.exe is the culprit.

    Don't worry, I still prefer Vista on XP :), it's just that he needs (such as XP and ALL other OS, no exception of Linux here!) adjustments for ease of use.

    Set

    reg file - against the boredom of the folder-

    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

  • Size (size of the incompatible displayed ico file) Windows icons

    Size (size of the incompatible displayed ico file) Windows icons.

    After resizesing my medium to large desktop icons I see several icons are not become larger. Unlike most of my icons, he remained the same size, but instead, they were in the Center and a greyframe. As a result, he started the project of change all the icons in some new. ICO files which would give them the great nice to register in the other size. After that my work was done, I had a nice full Office of the great pretty icons, all of the same size and none inside a gray frame. I reboot (restart) my computer and saw, to my horror, this (see photo) all of a sudden a random amount of icons has chosen to go back to being small and sit inside a gray frame. I don't see any explanation as to what size of icons changed.

    I try to change the display settings for size (control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Display) in 125% and 150%. Both times it switches around which the icons are large and small. so apparently no model at all. I restart again and find 2 icons went big and 4 other small. It's an amazing incompatible and it amazes me why windows this. Why can't keep windows icons (ICO) files to their proper size? (all my ico files support all sizes, as far as I know, and they have developed scale perfectly up down before the 1. Restart)

    It's incredibly frustrating. MY question is. Can I just to force Windows to use the maximum size, or somehow it resolved so that windows will scale icons up and down properly?

    Hi Benjamin,

    Please contact Microsoft Community.

    Just a few questions first, to get a clear picture of the issue;

    1. What is the size of ICO file? Is - this (256 x 256)?

    In Windows 7, App icons and Control Panel items must be in the .ico file format and all should includes following sizes of icons.

    • 16 x 16.
    • 32 x 32.
    • 48 x 48.
    • 256 x 256.

    According to the guidelines of the screenshot, there is a difference in size ofcon I have, I suggest you to download the package of icon for the application you want to change the icons according to the dimensions mentioned above.

    Note: Display in Windows 7 allows you to make text and other items large, such as icons, on the screen you, while keeping your display to its optimal resolution.

    We answer with the result, then we can help you further.

  • Call method text size prevents string value changes?

    I call the 'Text size' method with an Invoke node on a control to the string every time that a keypress event is marked.

    Curiously, the chain control change never the size. Have I misunderstood the purpose of 'Text size' method?

    Second, if I turn off "Update as you type" attribute, the keypress event is always recorded by the case of the event, but the contents of the string is always returned to the original contents of the string - it becomes impossible to update! Why is this behavior occurs?

    Attached is my demo vi. If you run this and try to change the content, you will see that the string control does not resize the text.

    Disable the "Update as you type" attribute, and it becomes crazy!

    Any suggestions on how to get this to resize the content string while the user types?

    OK, with a lot more research, I found a Subvi from NOR (password protected - grrrr) called Get text Rect

    (Or almost), it returns the rectangle enclosing correct for a single line format of text fonts. With a slight correction, this works well for the large font size that I use.

    Solution set.

    Thanks to anyone who is spending time trying to solve this problem for me!
