Hi No_RegreTs,

Would you mind explaining a little more clearly what you are trying to do in DIAdem with these text values? Are you trying to change them within DIAdem, programatically, after you have imported them?

Yes, I want the change text values in TDR file programatically after import the text values from the diadem report function input I send.

I send text values in labview like the first picture and I want to take these text values and want to change text8,text9 etc part which I send from labview with VBscript code in Diadem.

Hi NoRegreTs,

How do you want to change the string values once they land in DIAdem? It seems to me if you want to change the values, you'd do that first in LabVIEW before you sent them. Do you mean that you want to rearrange the display of these individual string properties on the REPORT layout? Do you mean that you watn to turn the string properties into values in one or more new string channels in the Data Portal.

no no not tochangethe properties just the rearrange the display of the individual strings,

For example if its name text8 and value is `My name is Yasemin` I want to change what I send from labview.

For my example you see before I sent here the first pic in my first message, Text8 is `Toplam Yol(5)` Im sending this from labview. But in TDR Text8 string its value is `Toplam Yol`.

I want to change this value `Toplam Yol` to `Toplam yol(5)`.

Hi No_RegreTs,

Just to clarify, you say that you are sending the string 'Toplam Yol(5)' from LabVIEW, but for some reason it is showing up as just 'Toplam Yol'?

I tried this out on my end and it does send the entire string value to the report. Based on your screen shot, it looks like you only have 'Toplam Yol' in the LabVIEW text box. Have you double checked to make sure that you are sending in the desired values?

I have to write something in my diadem.vbs file to import these text values. Do you know what is it?

Hi No_RegreTs,

One thing to keep in mind when you write these string values to text boxes in DIAdem is that the text values in the first column must exactly match the name of the text box in the DIAdem report layout. The first column is the associated text box name, and the second column contains its value. To check and/or change the name of a text box in a DIAdem Report, right-click on it and select "Rename". This will bring up a dialog box like the one below.

Input the new name of the text box next to "New Name:" and click OK, and then save the TDR file. Again, make sure that this new name exactly matches the associated Text Value in your LabVIEW array. Now, the string value that you want in that box will be passed to it.

Hope this helps!

Hi NoRegreTs,

Based on our email correspondence, I know why this is still not working for you. Because you need a table on that same REPORT sheet as those text boxes, and because the DIAdem Report express VI doesn't do tables, we had to switch to wiring a VBScript path to the express VI instead of a TDR layout path. The matching of the elements in your string array with the text boxes and their names in the REPORT sheet will only work if you wire up a TDR layout path to the express VI.

This is why I've sent you LabVIEW code that adds these text box strings to the TDMS file you're writing the table columns to, and why also I change the TDR layout I sent you that now has text boxes that reference the Group properties that get imported with the TDMS file.
