Built in LabVIEW Controls

[CanadaGuy]

Is there a way to access and use the built in controls that are used on certain dialogs? One example would be the line thickness, or line style plot attributes for use in our own plot styling dialogs.

All properties can be read or written via property nodes. Create your own interface and the write the properties accordingly.

I'm not referring to the properties of objects, but the control itself that has graphics for thickness, point style, etc. The picture shows what I would like to use. Are these available as LabVIEW controls, or would I need to build them myself using Picture Ring?

Ah, OK.

I am not aware of a drop-in solution, but you could just take a screenshot, crop&edit it and put it in a picture indicator. Use "mouse-down" events on the picture to get the coordinates of the clicks, and draw boxes around he selections. Shouldn't be too hard.

I guess those controls I referred to are Windows controls, and not LabVIEW controls (unlike much recent additions, which are actually LabVIEW scripts as far as I can tell, so components should be available).
