Hello, I would like to create a grid of buttons that return a value when pressed. The button should later represent a channel number so that the user can select channels via the grid. I think creating 100 buttons, arranging them and processing the data via 100 events is not really a good way. Does anyone have any ideas on how to implement this? Unfortunately, this requirement is quite strictly demanded by the user. Iam using LV 2025.... Best regards Ole

Creating a cluster control (or radio button control) with 100s of individually named and labeled buttons is just way too tedious and inflexible. As mentioned earlier an image would be much more scalable. All we need is a reusable subVI to create the "image" of a button array and now we have full control over size, #of rows/Columns, button labels, button and text colors, button sizes, fonts, etc. etc. If the first click should instantly exit the subVI with the selection, the code would be even simpler! (not shown) For a more general case, it would be easy to recreate the image with each mouse interaction, e.g. to toggle the color of the clicked "button". The possibilities are endless.

Solved!

For a more flexible solution, here's a quick draft using a subVI to toggle the buttons on the image and set other properties. It can easily be expanded in functionality.
