Decorations on Custom Controls

[Peter T]

Hello,

Attached is a very simple custom control I created. It doesn't work exactly
as I would like. When the user presses on the decoration part of the
button, the button does not depress. How can I create a custom button where
the user can press the decoration and have the button depress?

Are there some good resources for building custom controls?

Thanks,

Peter

Your button does not work since the decoration is an inactive element. It gets the mouse click but it does nothing with it.

You have to replace the bitmaps of your button with your own bitmaps which have the decoration in front of the button. You can do this in the edit mode of the control editor.

There is a pdf manual "Custom Controls and Type Definitions Application Note" which can be installed with LabVIEW (option manuals).
