Origin Ver.7.0558 and Service Release (Select Help-->About Origin):
Operating System: XP

Hi,

I have something strange occuring to me when I try to save my notes. If it is a note I've generated myself, the save -n noteName fileName works fine. However, when I try to save the notes generated when data is collected, is says and error occurs. Why does the command work for those notes and not the notes generated upon data collection?

Also, is there another way you can save the notes via code? (I am always going to rewrite it a file fileName because I just need to have the notes in txt format so I can search for a substring in them)

If temporary txt files would work differently, that could work for my needs because I only need to keep the file long enough to pull a string of comments from it.

Thanks,
Katie

Okay, so I found out that it didn't work because for whatever reason the save -n command doesn't work when the notepage is hidden. How can I make the notepage unhidden through code? I tried setting it temporarily as the active window with window -w but it gave be an error. Is there anyway I can make a note window unhidden? It seems to me that there isn't a lot of access to the note pages in general, or is there a special way to access these? (They never register as %H for example)

Hi Katie:

It seems a LabTalk bug. Since we will not update Origin 7 anymore, could you please write some Origin C functions to implement this? For example, this Origin C code will active the notes window named "Notes":

void set_note_show(string strName = "Notes")
{
	Note note(strName);
	note.SetShow();
}


Thanks
Larry
