get image to ring control from file path

[Gak]

hi,

I have picture ring control. I want to display picture in this ring depending on condition.There are 30+  pictures. Can i call picture at run time? I dont want to put them all in picture ring .

You can read & upload the Picture ring (like test ring) with pictures from a folder at run-time.

Thank you for reply.

Can you elaborate how to do that please?

Hi Gaurav,

Read the picture files from the folder itself by reading the folder contents using List Folder primitive in the File I/O pallette. Then, pass this list to the Items of the picture ring using a property node.

I have been hunting for that property since LV 6 and I still can't find it. You aren't possibly using scripting are you?

I apologise sincerely... 

I normally include the words, " I think... ", if I m NOT so sure of the answer. I missed it this time.

It should have been, "Then, pass this list to the Items of the picture ring using a property node, I think..."

Well lacking the property that both parthabe and myself feel should be there...

The animation can be done using a picture control.

Ben, since the pictures are treated as Str in their utmost depth by LV, is it not easy for NI to make/give this property as extra (only) for the Picture Ring as "Items"... ?!
