Touch Panel Navigation Palette missing in LabVIEW 2009

[Henik2]

Hi,

I developed an application using LabVIEW 8.6 with the touch panel module and a TPC-2012 (Windows CE). I have now upgraded to LabVIEW 2009 and I am trying to run my code in a TPC-2512 (XP Embedded) but the "Touch Panel Navigation Palette" I used previously is nowhere to be found in the new installation. I see there is a new "Navigation Controls" palette in 2009, but I would like to avoid having to re-design my application with the new controls.

Are the 8.6 navigation controls no longer supported in LabVIEW 2009 or am I missing something? The TPC shows up in the project explorer and MAX, and I am able to deploy and run applications on it. But the navigation for the old vi do not work and like I mentioned before, the palette doesn't even show up when trying to edit the vi on the development machine.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you,

Hello,

The touch panel navigation VIs are not showing up because you are now using the TPC-2512. If you take a look at the Help File on the Navigation VIs, it states: "Installed With: Touch Panel Module. This topic might not match its corresponding palette in LabVIEW depending on your operating system, licensed product(s), and target." I have verified this with both targets in LabVIEW 8.6 and LabVIEW 2009. Because of the different architectures, you are getting a different palette set (Windows CE vs. XP Embedded).

Thanks Zach.

I did read the documentation you quoted, but that leaves open the possibility that something else is going on, especially since I upgraded software at the same time I started using the TPC-2512. I just wanted to rule out installation issues before proceeding.

Thank you,
