CvtPanelToScreenCoords creating problems in executable

[Rashid-Malik]

Dear Friends,

Need your assistance with an issue I'm facing. I'm using CvtPanelToScreenCoords function for aligning an executable's display onto a tab of my labview application. It works fine development environment. But when an executable is built and run this invoke node gives an error. What can I do about it? I'm attaching the VI that is using this invoke nose (this VI is used to convert  labview coordinates into users monitor screen coordinates. This data is then used to send command line arguments to the executable which aligngs it on the screen).

 

This VI was coded with LabVIEW version 8.6.

I'll be grateful for your assistance and help.

What error are you getting? Can you attach a screen shot of the error?

[Rashid-Malik]

Thanks Claire R for the reply.

I am attaching a screnshot of the error. This error only surfaces while the executable version of the project is running, no errors while in development mode.

Your help is greatly appreciated!

Hey C.Dot. I tried to run your VI and it is not working. Getting error 1026, the VI reference used is not valid. Are you able to post the executable? I might have to file a Corrective Action Request.

Dear Claire R! Thanks a lot for taking so much pain for solving the problem. Accept m grautude for it.

 The VI and the reference works fine during development mode, it is in the executable form that it gives this error. I traced the error to the last invoke node in theVI;

 

What do you mean by "posting an executable" and what is a "request for corrective action request"?

In LV8.5.1, this works just fine!

Are you sure the vi reference *is* correct? The reference might be correct
in development mode, but wrong in the executable!

Regards,

Wiebe.

Thanks a lot Wiebe.for the reply!

Does this mean there is a bug in LabVIEW 8.6?

 I have no idea about this correct reference stuff. Could you provide more info about his issue. Is there an alternative reference that might keep the functionality same but still work in executables (compiled using version 8.6.

I'll be grateful for your assistance!

It all depends on how you get your reference. Once you get it, it works
exactly the same in an exe as in development environment.

I'm not sure how an exe won't succeed in getting a reference in your case.
It might have something to do with paths. It could also be that the vi you
pass a reference from, doesn't have a panel becuase it's removed.

Could you post a picture of the caller VI (of a simplyfied version that
demonstrates the problem)?

Regards,

Wiebe.

[Rashid-Malik]

Thanks Wiebe@CAR…! I am attaching both the pic and the VI.

But I really need the *diagram* of the calling VI. The piece of code where
the VI reference is obtained.

Wiebe.
