Use Access database to Load a Pict Ring

[CarmineS]

All,

Is it possible to load a Pict Ring with a *.png file that I access from a database?

I believe there are two taks being described:

Task 1 is to get from the database the name of the *.png file

Task 2 is to take that file and use it to populate a Pict Ring.

I can load the Pict Ring from the clipboard, but the customer wants to be able to load different images.

LabView 2011 RT

can it be done?

Thanks,

Carmine

Hi Carmine,

According to the Help file for Picture Rings, you must copy a picture to the clipboard to bring it into a Picture Ring. 

LabVIEW 2011 Help: https://www.ni.com/docs/en-US/bundle/labview/page/adding-picture-items-to-ring-controls.html

However, I did find this example that programmatically puts a picture on a clipboard. It may be a good starting place for your application.

Good luck on your project!
