Graduated Bar divider customization

According to this page: https://www.ni.com/docs/en-US/bundle/labview/page/numeric-controls-and-indicators.html?srsltid=AfmBO...

The graduated bar front panel element should have customizable dividers. However, after an hour of searching, I have found no way to do this. Can you really customize the dividers?

 

I have a VI that runs in a few successive stages, so I want to make a discrete progress bar to indicate the current operating stage.

How you set the array is up to you ...

or you use an array of color boxes 🙂

 

the vi 'should' be backsaved to 2019.. however it's not that much 😉

“ground” is a convenient fantasy

If you customize the control you can have a gradient filler, or as background.

Note that the filler rescales the image, the background is fixed.

From the customize window, choose Show Parts Window to find all the components:

Is that the same as clicking on the Spanner icon?

Similar, you can find the parts yourself, or use the parts window to find the parts hidden behind.
