How to make a device selector control?

[Iradrian]

Hello all,

Some months ago I saw a simple control that allowed me to select device/channel, but now I just cannot find it (either in Google or in CVI).

Right now I am using DAQmxGetSystemInfoAttribute() and DAQmxGetDeviceAttribute() functions to query the available channels.

Thanks for the help in advance!

Yours,

Adrian

Hi,

    I think it is (in UIR editor)  in menu Create\Custom controls\NI-DAQmx IO controls\Device

Thank you for the reply!

I already found this method, but, that option places a normal text input on the UI, and that's all. Nothing happens when I click it while running my application. Is there any other thing I have to do with it?

This KnowledgeBase entry can help you in configuring the controls.

In UIR editor:

    Menu "Code\Set target file" then select file where is your main(..) function with LoadPanel calls.

    Right click on custom control and select "Generate Custom Code"

      this will add line of code to initialize custom control. For Example Task selec custom control will add:NIDAQmx_NewTaskCtrl (pPanel, PANEL_TASKSELECT, 0);
