not possible to add dqmh events if a project contains a PPL which includes other DQMH modules?

[bheemann]

Hi,

i'm using labview 19 (32 bit) and dqmh 5

I have PPLs which include DQMH modules added to a labview project. If I try to create a new event for a new dqmh module in the project and try to add an event via "Tools->Delacor->Event->Create New DQMH Event..." i get the following message:

it took me a while to understand that non of my VIs were actually read-only but of course the VIs inside a compiled PPL are read-only!

If i remove the PPL which include compiled dqmh modules it works as expacted.

Is it 'by design' that it is not possible to use the scripting tools if a szenario with pre-compiled and not pre-compiled dqmh modules are added to a project or is it bad practise to include PPLs to the project structure and should they only be included via project dependencies?

I appreciate an answer by someone of you who understand that better than me.

This is a bug. The scripting tools should filter out DQMH modules inside PPLs when generating a list of possible modules that can be scripted.

Thanks for the info, Darren!

Is there an issue tracker to point it out in detail or is it known and already on the list?

We don't have a public issue tracker, but we'll put it on our internal one. In the future, the DQMH Consortium might look into sharing this information publicly.

Thank you for reporting this issue, bheemann!

Edit: This issue has been assigned id #722.

@bheemann, hopefully you're still subscribed to this thread. I cannot reproduce the issue you reported... when I have a project with DQMH module libraries in PPLs, the Create New Event dialog doesn't show the dialog you mentioned, and it only lists the non-PPL DQMH modules in the project. 

Any chance you could attach a simple project to this thread that reproduces the issue so I can take a closer look?

Hi Darren,

I tried again to reproduce the error in a test project. At first without success. However, in the PPL in which the error occurs there are several DQMH modules, so that there are libraries in libraries. This seems to be the problem.

In the attachment you find an example project. If you try to create an event in the project "Usage of DQMH PPL", you should hopefully be able to reproduce the error.

best regards

Thanks @bheemann, I was able to reproduce the issue with your project.
