2 Question

Hello everyone,

Im new to labview i currently reading a book and watching youtube lol but my boss now wants me to edit a projekt done before my time there are 2 issues

1. the on off switches are only clickable down in the right corner of the button he wants to be able to click anywhere on the button to activevate it or deactiavte it. Suggestions ?

2. the file that saves should take the name  date_var1_var2_var3 automaticly so you dont have to rename the files every time  date should be like this  year:month:day:clock:

if you could help me with this i would be real thankfull and i might buy you a beer or a redbull 🙂

cheers!

Hi NOsen,

1. Something is in front of your switches: remove it! If it is some kind of image: customize the buttons to embed a real decal!

2. There are functions to format strings like FormatIntoString and FormatDateTimeString…

1. Something weird must be going on with your buttons. You should attach a VI with buttons that demonstrate this behavior. Perhaps there is some graphic or decal overlaying in a customized control that is blocking the mouse action to the button.

2. You can certainly do that. You just need date/time functions that create a string. Then use that string and build path to create the new file name.
