Operating button under transparent image

[ADrexelDragon]

Hi NI LabVIEW Community,

I am trying to have a 2D array of buttons/LEDs and overlay a trasparent image. If the image is in front, I cannot press any of the buttons. If the image is behind the buttons, I cannot see the image.

Has anyone tried this before? A possible work around is to see where the user clicked and relate that to a button.

Thank you,

Nick

Hi Nick,

Yes, a transparent image over a control will still take the mouse click and thereby prevent the underlying buttons from being selected.

One option is to determine where the mouse button click took place and use that to simulate selection of the button.

Hi Thoric,

I ended up just making the outline of the buttons black and the center transparent. The image will just be behind the buttons.. Not exactly what I was hoping for, yet an easy solution.
