Post an idea

In the help file, there is little information about formatting the XML text string for opening a data store by parameter. Specifically, how to enter the password field. When you use ctrl-shift copy to get the data from the data store dialog box, the password field has <pwd s=""1"" c=""1""> and an encrypted password. If I want to use plain text, I have to use <pwd e=""1"" c=""0"">. The only way I could find this information was by searching other ODS functions, specifically: function ODS_CreateAidMap. There is an example in there.

Anyway, more information on setting up the XML string would be handy.

Thanks.

timeformat

Implement Formatter.TimeFormat for Excel Dataplugin.

Workbook.Formatter.TimeFormat = "YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss"

Block = Sheet.GetCellBlock(2+clOriginRow-1, clOriginCol)
Block.Channels.Add(sChnName, eTime)
Channel.Formatter.TimeFormat = "fff"

The Formatter.TimeFormat are both in CodeCompletion, but not actually valid when using an XLS Dataplugin method.

The best way to get milliseconds from a separate column into your time format right now is to run a separate script after import, OR do row by row and add it along the way.

Just asking for the same functionality on Excel import as on CSV import.

Thank you.

If one is editing the master layout and want to save it (just save, not "save as") it is necessary to go to ""File->Master Layout->Save"". The normal ""File->Save"" is greyed out and is not working. However, if one uses the short cut <ctrl+s> DIAdem saves the master layout, but as a normal page layout. So if the master layout was called "MyMasterLayout.TDRM", DIAdem saves a report file named "MyMasterLayout.TDRM.TDR" when <ctrl+s> is pressed which is, at least from my point of view, not a correct functionality. I would expect it to save the master layout and not a report page.

This can cause a bit confusing, especially if your editing the master layout, saving it using <ctlr+s> but when you start the script, none of the changes you have made occur.

The short cut <ctrl+s> should either save the master layout as such or not work at all when one is editing a master layout.
