case structure with multiple output PROBLEM

[putra]

hallo altenbach, thanks for your quick respond. Basically I know how to insert pictures into picture ring. Maybe my explanation wasnt really good. Sorry for that.

But my main problem is:
I want to have case structure, which display only 1 Picture Ring at one time whenever a certain number plate is selected. Please see the attachment.

So example, if I put 3 in "Number of Plates", then my Front Panel should display only the Picture Ring 3, not all of them. I hope you can help me to solve this problem.

Thanks again.

If you want to go that route you can solve it through Visible Property, but better, simpler and faster is to simply add all pictures to the same picture ring (it's an array) and index the right one.

A picture ring is NOT really suitable for this application, because there are too many possibilities, especially if the number of disks is high. (It would be slightly easier if you would only have one tower in the picture ring and then use an array of three such picture rings to show the three towers.).

You really need to use a plain picture indicator and dynamically build the towers by drawing squares, for example.

@ Yamaeda: what do you mean by indexing the right one in an array? Can you please explain or better give an example in Labview.

@altenbach: honestly i didnt get the main picture of your idea..sorry..im still new to this LabView..It would be nice if you can explain/show it in details..perhaps in Labview..sorry if I ask to much from you..

Thank to both of you.

Regards,

I agree Altenbach, since the number of combinations is high, but the number of discs low (5?) it'd be better to simply move them around. 🙂

Not that i have tried, but i assume there's some position property that can be used with a picture for this.
