How to change color (customize) scroll bars in an image control and picture control?

[wpk]

I am using LV 7.1 with the Vision Development package. I have used the Control editor to modify various parts of the control including component controls. I can't edit the scroll bars. The same is true for a picture control. How can I modify the scroll bar appearance?

Thanks for you help,
Bill

Hello Bill,

The scroll bars for the picture control are OS specific and as such, not editable from inside LabVIEW. To change them we will need to modify the OS's display settings. In Windows this is accomplished as follows:

1. Right Click on the desktop.
2. Choose Properties.
3. Click the Appearance tab.
4. You can modify the OS colors from this screen.

The other option we have is to hide the scrollbars and use LabVIEW slider controls to programmatically scroll the control. With this method we can customize the slider controls to our liking.

Thanks for your help. Makes sense.
