NIHyperTrend

[jura]

How can I lock NIHyperTrend control so that user can't change any parameters in run mode?

[Jochen]

You can block user interaction with the hypertrend by following these steps:

1. In edit mode right click on the plot area of the hyper trend and click on "Properties".
2. Change the Enabled State to "Disabled"

As the hypertrend is an embedded ActiveX object there is no way to overlay parts of the hypertrend with transparent decorations. Thus if you need better control about the behavior of your trend at runtime like blocking only the runtime menu, better use the historical or real-time trend displays which are native LabVIEW indicators.

Probably you might be able to disable the ActiveX container itself to disable the whole ActiveX control. In LV DSC 7.0 is an example (NI Historical Data Viewer with ActiveX control) that applies this approache. The only issue is a double-mouse click on the container. LV 7.0 did not block this double-mouse click windows events.
Probably 7.1 did fix the small issue.
Hope this helps
