ANYONE KNOW WHAT THIS IS: Labview PDA module..

[GHernandez]

I can't seem to be able to remove it. I used to display an array and a graph,but then this cropped up. I have no idea what the heck that is doing there.

Hello,

Are you talking about the grey box area on the right side of your attached pictures?  Can you point out exactly what you're referring to in the picture, perhaps by editing it to have an arror which points or a circle to indicate the problem.  Does this problem occur with other applications, or just your LabVIEW PDA applications?  Does it occur with all of your LabVIEW PDA applications?  Which version of the PDA module are you using?

I look forward to hearing back from you,

JLS

I've attached the same pic. I will try compiling something else to see if i get the same odd square there.

Hello,

So it was the grey box... it should be helpful to know if this occurs for all applications on your PDA, or if this is specific to just that one VI.  It would also be nice to know if this is specific to your PDA - if you have access to another it would be worth a try, and if you post your code I can try it here - what version of LabVIEW PDA are you using?  Reducing your code as much as possible will also help eliminate sources of the problem (just a loop with minimal front panel objects to reproduce the effect would be great).  One final thought - if you open another application in front of it and then close or minimize it (so as to cause a screen refresh), does the problem persist?  I am wondering if this is just a weird screen update issue...

Looking forward to your next post!

Best Regards,

JLS

It seems to be specific to this VI. I don't have another PDA to be able to test this. I tried deleting everything, except the quit button and it seems to crop up anyway. Once it has shown up, it doesn't appear to go away. So what I tried doing was loading from a backup, (i.e. hadn't added the graph and what not). About the refreshing issue, I tried opening up something and closing it and then looking at the VI and the black square had gone away. BUt, when i deleted everything and had only the stop button, even if i opened something up, it would not go away. I am not sure to why this is happening.

I am having a similar problem.  I think it the screen is not refreshing.  I have an enum on my front panel.  When I make the selections appear and choose one the selections do not go away.  Is there a screen refresh function in an API somewhere?  I am using LabVIEW PDA 8.0

Hey, JLS
Is there a way of PMing you my code or emailing it?

Hey Murfi,
can you post your code? Maybe I can get an idea what would be causing this block to show.
