Question on a animated control

[labmaster]

Hi,

I was just back to LabVIEW again.

While I checking a 3rd-party program, I figure out a internal control for animating of progress by using ring control.

The program used many graphical stuffs in front panel.

I am wondering the best way for how to prepare the graphic for the program of LabVIEW by other graphic software.

Because of no the external control file in the code, I suspect this control was used in internal control of LabVIEW.

Can you suggest how to find the control in LabVIEW?

It's a picture ring.  Various PNG images created elsewhere imported into the different items through Advanced, Customize...

Thank you.

I cannot find the custom file in the code.

My question was not how to realize the customed control but where to find the control in LabVIEW.

Is it possible to add a customed control into the code without saving a control (external) file?

Or how to check if the control is included in the code?

It doesn't exist in LabVIEW.  Someone create that control file themselves based on a picture ring and importing their own pictures into it.

Yes, you can create a custom control and not save it as a .ctl file.  You just need to make the control exists in a VI and that you save that VI.  If you delete it from the VI, then it will no longer exist.

I don't understand why you are asking these questions considering you have a ctl file attached to your first message.  Where did you get that .ctl file from?

As I mentioned, I suspected some improvement of LabVIEW in control part while I didn't use it.

Thank you much for the detail.
