Hi James,
Thanks for the additional information. However, I still am not seeing any difference between the two indicators. What exactly are you noticing as far as the differences between the two Xcontrols? I am also including two great articles about Xcontrols. The first one deals with creating new front panel objects with LabVIEW Xcontrols and the second talks about creating custom controls. I hope this helps.
