Using 2D image as a "constant" vs a file?

[pbridges]

I want to programmatically display a series of JPG's on my front panel.  I see examples where you can read a JPG file from the hard drive and do just that.

But is there not a way to drag an image into a picture constant box, or something like that?  That way the image is built into the VI and when I deploy the application I don't have to worry about image files being present, or getting corrupted or deleted.

Thanks,

Paul

Check out the Picture Ring control.

Yes.Through picture Ring controls.You must copy a picture to the clipboard before you can import the picture into a ring control.Then Right-click the picture ring control or text and picture ring control and select Import 'Picture from Clipboard' from the shortcut menu.
