Most of us have developped vi's that could be shared with the community. It is always possible to submit our work as example code to the developper_zone. However, I believe that the BreakPoint could also be a nice place to discuss and share these programs, may be before effectively posting them to the NI example database, just to make sure that this is worthwhile, after bug correction and GUI improvement... Of course, the posted vis should be a little bit more elaborated than the poor (;)) examples we are used to propose as answers to the forum. No constraint. Just the feeling that the best has been done to make things attractive. The Starware basic idea is simple : Download the vi, try it, and if you like it, reward the author with 5 stars (other ratings are strictly forbidden !). If you think Where is the difference with the usual practice of the LV forum ? Well, usually people are searching for a solution for an immediate problem. And they get answers developped as rapidly as possible, because we usually have not a lot of time (often because we are racing with others, shhhh :)). Here the situation will be different : we'll not give actual solutions, we'll be proposing tools as potential solutions to questions that either were asked in the past, and not completly answered or were not asked yet !.. And there will be no time constraint for that !.. That could be also a good place for JPD to re-win his lost stars... A single rule : don't forget to change the "Message Subject" to some meaningfull title !

Starware - A new concept ?

Hmmm... I missed the FP.customTitle property node. So here is a better implementation of the previous vi : the VI name is not duplicated. The fp window name appears now as [8.6] [vi name] when there is no custom fp name. Clean enough ? May be...

Changing the actual VI name, while possible, is not an option, since application behavior may depend on the name. So I don't see any way to improve the result.
