Get control image from sub-VI

[Tournifreak]

Hi - Can anyone help with this?

I need to get the image of a FP control (a chart). I think the easiest way is to use the Get Image method. The problem is, it depends on the FP of the VI being open. I don't want the user to see that particular FP.

So, I need a way of either opening the FP of a VI silently and invisibly, OR, a way of getting a control image without having an open FP.

Any ideas?

Did you try this and it not work?

Its been a whle but I have used that technique a number of times to realize "virtual controls" (controls that are not realy there) and it has worked fine (admiting that in LV 6 the background was always black).

Curious,

Ben

If you get the "ctrl reference" for that indicator. You should be able to get the picture in VI some level higher
