How to increase the size of increment/decrement buttons?

[EllenM]

Is there a way to make the increment/decrement buttons for a control on a front panel bigger? I am using a touch screen and the default buttons are too small.

Hello,
The answere is yes. Right-click on the control and choose "Advanced>>Customize..." You will then have the opertunity to modify the control the way you want. To change size on the increment/decrement buttons you first have to change to "Customize Mode" by clicking the tool left of the "Control Ringbox".(Or Ctrl+M or in the operate menu)

Now you can change size of all the components of the control including the increment/decrement buttons.

Thanks Robert. The same approach helped solve the problem I was having with the
cursor name textbox size in the cursor name legend in a few posts above.

Thank you very much!!!
Your explanation helped me solve my problem. Once I learned about the existence of custom controls I found custcont.pdf in manuals folder, thanks to you I now know what to look for.
