Resizeable custom probes

[mawodorfer]

To use controls as custom probes is very helpful. But sometimes it would be good to have the possibility to adapt the custom control probe like a control on the front panel:

e.g.:

- changing the size of the probe control in its display pane

- changing the size of a array control to show more data elements at once

- etc.

Edit your custom probe and set that control to be "Size With Panel" and it will resize with the panel. Alternatively, add code to the block diagram of the probe (as you can see if you look at the custom probe that ships with LV for the picture string) to resize whenver the value updates to match the size of the panel.

I think the OP is referring not to making one's own custom probe VI, but instead selecting 'Custom Probe>>Controls>>" and then one of the standard controls.  This gives you a probe containing that control.  A nice feature to have for charts, but it would be much better if it resized itself.  One can always make a custom probe VI with the chosen control in it, but then you have to make a separate probe for each datatype (you can't use a DBL probe to probe a SGL or I32 wire, for example).
