Multiple picture for Boolean button

[Zekasa]

Hi

I don't know if this idea posted before.

When I want to customize a Boolean button by adding picture to it I have only three options which are import picture to True, False and decal. My suggestion is to add more options from which the user can add true and false picture on the Boolean button without changing its original shape. Here an example:

Let us say that I want to customize the Start Test/Stop Test button by adding a picture on the button that represents the start state and another picture to represents the stop state. In order to do this I have to import the true picture as decal then take a print screen for the control, also I have to import the false picture as decal then take a print screen, then I have to import the two print screens for true and false state

It will be nice if it is possible to have an option to add multiple picture same as the multiple test option

I think you can actually make this with a xcontrol...

You can do this since LabVIEW 2011 with silver controls.

All you need is adding:

enableSecretPopups = True

to your LabVIEW.ini

If you "customize control", you can directly add images, 4 of them, or 6 for system (silver?) controls:

Note though that for system controls, import from file doesn't work (that is, it never worked for me).

The clipboard takes single decorations, LabVIEW decorations incl. bitmaps.

Import ... at Same Size resizes the decoration\image to the size of the Boolean.

It seems to me that ticks most of your requests.
