How did I do this?

Ton was asking how to get a system scrollbar on a plot over in the UI Interest Group. I posted a customized control I made several years ago in which I switched out the X scrollbar. But I can't figure out HOW I did it. I don't recall this being particularly hard when i did it. I know I have spent more time trying to do it again than I did originally. I know I created the control for a specific project. It started in LabVIEW 7.1. Since 7.1 didn't have a standalone system scrollbar, I would have had to copy it from one of the other system controls. It is possible though that I did it after I upgraded the project to LabVIEW 8.2 when the system scrollbar was available and I saved it back to LabVIEW 7.1 (I have a version of the control in 7.1). But I am 90% sure I did this in 7.1.

The modified controls can be found here and here. Can anyone figure out how I managed to perform this magic?

Could it be you started out with the graphs from the classic palette? They seem to use the system scrollbars.

I think that's it. I never did replace it. It's interesting int he new Plot Legend that even in the classic control, they use the 3D scrollbar.

Thanks.

90% sure 7.1 ....

10% left over for it having been done in 6.1?

In 6.1 you could do more with editing a control (customize while customize ...)

Definitely not 6.1. Would have been 7.1, 8.2, or 8.5, with the likelihoods being 90%, 9.99%, and 0.01%.

I went to go see if I could do this in 6.1 and the X scrollbar got introduced in 7.0 or 7.1.
