Graduated Bar divider customization

[yarhooty]

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.

Here is a solutiopn using an array of booleans

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 😉

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.

I created a progress bar once what was a goose head scrolling across the window as a joke that only showed up on April Fools Day..

I just made an image that scrolled from left to right and had decorations cover up the portions I didn't want to see.

It is probably the most inefficient way possible. But you could create an image with the divisions you want.. or you could make one solid, and put decorations over the front to make it look like divisions in the bar.

If we abandon doing it the right way, it can be freeing..
