Graphics on a front pannel ,

Sorry I don't remember reading anying about this, can you draw a
bitmapped graphic and import that into LabView5.1 and somehow use that
as a digital display (like on or off).

If you chose "edit control" from the "edit" menu, you're able to cut and
paste bitmap images from graphics applications to be different elements of
the controls- so a Boolean can have one picture in the F state and a
different picture in the T state.

This is TRUE, check out the documentation on the LabVIEW Control Editor, which
is the environment that opens when you select "edit control" from the "edit"
menu with the control in question hilighted. I have made some pretty cool
looking booleans this way. I have even ahem... borrowed some bitmaps off
of comercial software. You can use Alt+PrintScreen to capture the active
window and then edit the bitmap in the windows paint application. Check
out the MP3 player application I wrote which is available for download at
http://zone.ni.com . Search for "GAMP".
