how many items can has one VI?

[Iskander]

Thanks Norbert for the attention

My VI is 1070 KB and library *.llb - 8921KB

Now I created two new controls : Numeric and String in this VI.

The numeric control didn't member the TipStrip but String control member  the TipStrip

What is the coordinates of the controls ?

Best regards

Iskander,

the coordinates of a control is its location in regard to the origin of the frontpanel (which is coordinate 0/0).

Coordinates are given in pixels. You can retrieve that information using a property node for this control in your VI set to postition.

I am asking for this because i know of several strange issues if the elements are too far away from the origin; that means, the coordinates are too high/low.

Iskander,

it's obvious that the controls are not off of the origin too much. So this should not be the reason.

Is it possible that you post the VI?

What about tip strips in cyrillic symbols?

Iskander,

i checked your VI and everything works as expected (so no tipstrip entries are lost). All controls keep their tipstrips i entered for them in the properties dialog.

I don't have the cyrillic language pack installed, so the symbols are displayed with unreadable characters (well, couldn't read cyrillic anyways 🙂 ). Maybe you can try a PC without this language pack installed as well. Does the error occur there as well?

Hi Norbert

Thanks .

I crerated two the same VI without cyrillic .

One VI member TipStrips. Another don't member.

Why?

Best regards

Iskander.

Iskander,

besides a different background color of the frontpanel, there is one major difference:

You ERROR-vi has still a textfield containing cyrillic symbols in the blockdiagram. You can find this textfield using the navigation window (Ctrl + Shift + N). Please delete this textfield and check if the tipstrip issue is still occurring.

thanks,

Hi Norbert

Thanks.

I created two VI : first without  cyrillic and second with cyrillic.

In first Tip Strip don't work but on second TipStrip with cyrillic  work .

Best regards

Iskander,

since i cannot reporoduce the error with any VI you have attached in this thread, i cannot tell you what is really going on. But if you can create the issue quite stable, please answer this:

Do you create the VIs (which shows the error) from scratch, that means starting from a blank VI and using the controls from the standard palettes (no custom typedefs or similar!)?

If not (e.g. a custom typedef with "disconnect typedef"), i asume that you have corrupt typedefs.

On the other hand, since it is not reproducable on my machine: how many machines do you have where this error occurs? How many do not show the error?
