Programmatically Draw Line

You would be amazed with the number of things that can be done with the picture control.  Creativity is allowed with the picture control especially in conjunction with the event structure.  Drag and drop can be simulated with dynamic event registration of mouse events.

I met the patent holder of the picture control (another Paul BTW) about 3-4 years ago. I told him some of the things I did with the picture control and his response was "I've created a monster."

Thanks for all the info, especially on the picture control.  My first impression after looking at the examples quickly is that it would be better for me to write what I need in C++ and stick it in an ActiveX control.  I'm not sure I'm up to doing in LabVIEW all the manual drawing and keeping track of objects, etc it seems would be required if I use the picture control.  I'm sure it would be quite a learning experience, though....
