How to make buttons on scroll bar larger for touchscreen use...

[Exile]

I need to enlarge the buttons on the LabVIEW scrollbar for use with a touchscreen.

Which scrollbar? Are you referring to the window's scrollbar, or to a specific control's scrollbar? If it's a control you can customize the control using the control editor (explained in the LabVIEW Help). If it's the window, the argument would be that you shouldn't have a scrollbar for a front panel in the first place, and perhaps you need to use some sort of grouping, like tab pages, for example.

Hi,

Is it a touch panel on which you will be using the LabVIEW Touch Panel Module (Windows CE)?  If it is on a Windows CE machine, you cannot create custom controls (actually you can, but the changes will not appear when you deploy the actual application, since the module uses the native Windows CE controls).  If you are deploying to a Windows XP machine, you can can create custom controls in normal LabVIEW like smercurio_fc said.

Here is the relevant section in the help file: https://www.ni.com/docs/en-US/bundle/labview/page/creating-custom-controls-indicators-and-type-defin...

You can create your own scrollbar using LabVIEW system style controls, simply a slide.

In event structure, set panel origin.
