Recessed cluster

[Labbie]

Hi!

I want to make a cluster of several checkboxes, but I don't want the cluster to be recessed. Is this possible?

Thx in advance!

If I have understood your question properly, You donot want the frame/border of the cluster to be visible right?

You can do this by making the cluster border invisible. Select the set color tool from the tools pallette, right click on the border of the cluster, now move the mouse to transperent, if the cluster border doesnot change to invisible, then hit the tab button to select background or front ground or both. In any one of these you should be able to set the color to invisible(transperent).

Hope this helps.

Minor correction: the space bar toggles between foreground/background.

No, not exactly. I don't necessarily want the border to be invisible, but I want the cluster to be on the same level as the rest of the pane..

I've attached a photo of the current cluster...

See the attached if you want to try different cluster styles.  I have a vi with 4 different style clusters, they work exactly as the original cluster (I hate the recessed look).  You can make the border transparent like already stated or change the style vie customization as I have done in this example.  Just drag your controls into the clusters.

I like the flat look.  See attached.

Thank you for all your help!

I would really like to see the attached vi's, but I've got LabVIEW version 8.2.1.. I'm therefore not allowed to open the 8.5 files....

Try this zip it should be 8.2 with both examples.  Controls are very customizable but it is a bit of a art and is not well used.
