How to enlarge run button on front panel?

[Radman]

Hello all,

Is there a simple way to enlarge the run button on the front panel? One of my co-workers compaains that it is too small and would I like to enlarge it.

Thanks,

I don't think there is. You could lower the resolution on the screen, use a help program to magnify the area around the mouse pointer (you'll find lot's of those on download.com e.g.)...or encourage the use of the Ctrl+R shortcut instead.

If this is in a built application I would not show the LV toolbar at all but rather make the code execute immediately and have front panel controls do the rest. If there is something that needs to be started using a button input just make the code so that when launched it will be in a state where it just waits for a button to go true, then you can make that button as big as you want it to be.

1. Add big boolean button on your front panel, and lable it "Run";)
2. Hide toolbar
3. Make your VI run when open
4. At the beginning of your VI, add a while loop.
5. Use the big "Run" button to stop the loop, and start run your VI.
6. Don't forget to add an time delay in the while loop, so that it won't take too much cpu time.
