AI Channels ON TO A USER DEFINED GRID

[VEEDAY]

I want to drag and drop DAQ AI channels interactively on to this grid (see image). Only the selected channels on the grid are used for DAQ acquisition. I need some pointers/examples to implement this routine????? Help please

You will need to learn how to use Drag & Drop features:

which means understanding Event Structures:

And then you'll need to craft some code that visually represents which AI Channels are on each designated zone in your image. That can be as simple as a bunch of string indicators (use classic string indicators with most of the control components coloured transparent) placed on top of your image on a Front Panel. You'll register each string indicator for a drag and drop Drag Enter and Drop events to acknowledge and accept each drag and drop motion respectively.

Best of luck!

I was thinking exactly on those lines. But was not aware of drag and drop features. Thanks again.
