Webcast Wednesday Contest # 6

[Webcast_Wednesday_India]

Question) Taking inspiration from the VI attached, make a media player application - like Windows Media Player. The focus should be on the GUI and not as much on the media playing part of the application.

You may include the following features:

• Runtime Menu
• Pop up tool bars (Using LAVA UI tools)

Please note that, to run the above VI, you will need to install VI Package Manager first and then using VI Package Manager, you need to install LAVA UI Tools. You can download VI Package Manager from the following link http://jki.net/vipm/download

Hi check this VI, This was the vi I was talking about how to bring the selected controls are indicators to front while it is selected. I`m getting an error message that VI is not in Edit mode. Even though I made the edit mode to be true.

When I install LAVA I`m getting an this is not applicable for the os or the LabVIEW software version which you use. I`m using windows 7 with LabVIEW2012.

Hi Ganesh,

I am also using LabVIEW 2012 on Windows 7. It is working perfectly on my system.

Are you installing it using VI Package Manager. I strongly recommend you to install any add on using VI Package Manager.

If you are using VI Package manager, are you searching for the right add on?

Regards

I am using LabVIEW 2011 so this VI couldn't open in it..

Could it be possible to convert it into some older version?

Also, I installed VI package manager 2013 from the given link. It is also not supported with this version?

Any solution or I have to purchase and install 2012?

Hi All,

Attached is the LV 2011 version of the code.

Also, I have tried installing the LAVA UI Tools Add-On to LabVIEW 2011. It does work.

@ Esamuddin, Where does the incompatibility message exactly throw up?

Regards

Raviteja
