Darren's weekly nugget

tst — Mon, 16 Jan 2006 21:39:05 GMT

One of the NI team promises to bring us interesting nuggets and cool LV tidbits each week.

Will he be able to keep up?

Hopefully, this thread's watching eye will keep him on his toes and force him to produce good material.

Here's the first issue.

Well, Darren has posted his second weekly nugget. So far he's keeping up!
This issue has tips on checking for empty arrays in LV8.0 and other uses for the Empty String/Path? vi in older versions of LabVIEW.

Another cool one here.

By wiring an incomplete path into an Open VI Ref

you get LV to search in the same location as the current VI.

This week Darren explains the performance of the Merge Errors.vi and shows a shortcut using select if you're not interested in warnings.

Use ctrl+scroll to move through different frames in multi-frames structures.

Dragging a control into a reference casts the reference to the control's type.

Create a blank icon with a border for your VI in a single double-click and changes to the default connector pane from LabVIEW 7.x to LabVIEW 8.0

OK, let's try a new format -

This week's nugget: Switch the inputs on 2 input primitives by holding ctrl and hovering over the function.

This week's nugget: Press shift when dragging a control or expanding a structure to make the display scroll faster.

That one is not from Darren, but could have been... and I think it is of interest.

It's about how to set up "enter" key to end (or not) a text entry.

Neat! This week is formatting into strings in an arbitrary order (LV8.0 only)

This week's nugget: Dragging an image file into the icon area creates icons for the VI based on that image.

Last week's nugget: How to set transparency for front panels.

This week's nugget: Use Ctrl+tab to cycle through the open LV windows.

Re: Darren's weekly nugget

tst — Mon, 08 May 2006 21:07:07 GMT

This week's nugget: Ctrl+A finally selects all the objects.

You know, some other people *can* do this as well.
