slider custom control

Hello,

Does anyone know how to increase the size of the digital display increment arrows on a slider control? I want to make the arrows bigger but the "custom control" selection under edit is grayed out. I am working with a 30" monitor and would like them to be twice the size.

Thanks,

John

Hi there John,

the procedure seems to be a bit tricky, but you can customize the increment arrows by first switching to the customize mode, then selecting the digital display and only after that it lets you select the Customize control -option. Try it. This works at least in LabVIEW 2009 and 2011.

Cheers,

Cerati

Here is a link to a large digital control, perhaps you could make the slider an indicator and use this as your contol.

I think this is the real question here. Do you actually have a control selected? That menu option is only enabled if you have a control selected.
