well, the title says it all: extend the current partial support of C99 standard to full support

It has been discussed a few times in the forum so it might be appropriate to also ask here for the implementation of a native polar plot, i.e. plot r versus theta, with radial grid lines and all the corresponding ingredients.

Suprisingly, in the Advanced Analysis Library there is no general routine for numerically finding roots - except for polynomials.

 

In my opinion this is a quite frequent necessity and should not be missed in an advanced analysis library 

Hi,

 

I have two minor suggestions that might be useful when designing a UI:

 

- the option to show a vertical and horizontal guide (as e.g. in Powerpoint...)

- a possibility to zoom in (and back out, of course Smiley Happy)

 

Thanks!

I use the "user interface localizer" in a big project and need to generate appropriate LWL-files (localized UIR's) for many dll's and exe's. Currently I have to use a batchjob to generate them, interfacing the "user interface localizer" window by window messaging... Why not add some command parameters to this tool, so it will be easier to use for bacth jobs,like "localui.exe -uirfile -lwdfile -(overwrite/merge/...)

I would like to see some statistic informations about my cws and or prj-files. Like the "LinesOfCodeWichtel"...

Similiar to LabVIEW, I would like to have a "save as" option to store all files within the prj-file to a new location (maybe also for store a cws, res all mentioned prj-files).

Would make it easier to handle over a CVI-project.

When designing a tab page in the UI editor usually the total height and width needed to nicely place all the controls can be calculated using the heights of the individual controls plus some distance in between the controls.

 

One may end up with a number for the height of the panel (excluding the top positioned tab) of say 160 pixels. Unfortunately, in the UI editor it is not possible to set this value. All that is possible is setting the height of the complete panel tab including the tab height (to say 181). It would be nicer having the possibility to either set the height of the panel including the tab (and the usable panel height will adapt) or to set the height of the usable panel height and the total height of the panel tab will adapt accordingly. Then moving the tab from the top to the left the usable panel height would remain constant.

 

A workaround has been given by Roberto here so this suggestion is not the most urgent wish but still would increase user friendlyness of the UI editor... 

In close analogy to the functions N_Dist (,)... for calculating the one-sided probability for a standard normal distribution I'd like to suggest test routines

B_Test () for binomial distributions and P_Test () for Poisson distributions.

 

Background: In many experiments, signals are not measured as a continuous curernt/voltage but are counted as individual events (photons, particles...) For 'rare' events the corresponding distribution function is binomial (few repetitions/sweeps) or Poisson (many repetitions).

 

In such cases using a Gaussian distribution is not always justified.

In the Advanced Analysis Library I'd like to see a function for efficiently computing binomial coefficients. The 'standard' definition

 

a! / ( b! * ( a - b )! )

 

is not efficient and susceptible to overflow. A better approach for example could be the calculation of ln (n!) using the gamma function as outlined in Numerical Recipes.

I know we used to have this web server feature 6-7 years ago.

I would request a function where we can export designated panel which user can control from web. Also provides an option to have read only or read/write access. Also password options.

 

Something like this.

 

ExportPanelToWebServer (panelHandle, READ_ONLY_FLAG, PASSWORD_FLAG, PASSWORD);

//This starts web server automatically and ready for connection on port 80.

 

This opens door to lots of applications which requires web control. I think LabVIEW has similar feature. (Web publishing tool)

In a Tree Control you can change the size of cell font and, as a consequence, the size of the cell itself.

But the size of item images and plus/minus boxes is fixed: in this way you can have items with large fonts near small images and plus/minus boxes (see attched).

I think that this is quite ugly to see...

 

I think that images size can take some discrete values (16x16, 32x32, 48x48 and up to 128x128 for example), so that the larger one (smaller than the cell height) is automatically used.

I suggest a similar behaviour also for plus/minus boxes

Hi,

 

I would like to see an configuration of batchbuilt process. I have a big workspace with many projects; and would like to create different setups, like "compile only all server projects" or "compile all client projects". The workspace contains a big server-client -based software packages; some dll-projects used for server side only, some only client side.

Currently, it is only possible to load XML for parsing from an xml file.  In order to load xml data from a string, it is necessary to either write to a temporary file, or use the MSXML library directly.  It would be fairly simple to modify the CVIXMLLoadDocument() Function (or create a new function) which uses the MSXML IXMLDOMDocumentloadXML() function, which allows loading XML directly from a string. 

 

Adding this code to the current function after the IXMLDOMDocumentload() function would improve the CVIXMLLoadDocument() function so that it tries opening the input string as direct XML if it is not a path (Replaces line 167):

 

__caErrChk(MSXML_IXMLDOMDocumentload(xmlHdl, NULL, variantPath, &success));
	 
	if(!success) //if loading as a path fails, try reading as direct XML code
    {
        __caErrChk(MSXML_IXMLDOMDocumentloadXML(xmlHdl, NULL, fullPath, &success));    
    }

I use SavePanelState and RecallPanelState all the time but it give me error when I add/change existing control. I would like to request save and recall only one control that way I don't have to worry about other controls which I am not interested in.

I'd like to suggest the possibility to query attributes of a control during debugging, i.e. after the program stops at a breakpoint I would like to have the possibility to obtain the scaling behavior (manual, autoscale) of a graph and the assignment (left/right axis) of a plot...

 

Thanks!
