labview push button graphics

[student1981]

Hi, I would like to create a customized push  button design so that it'll look like a car's gas pedal, so when a user pushes down on it, it'll be floored just like a normal gas/brake pedal would. does anyone have any ideas how to go about creating this?

Hi,

Following is the step by step procedure create your graphical push button.

1. Place a boolean button on the front panel.

2. Right click, advanced, cusomize.. (A control editer window opens up.)

3. Activate Operate menu tag and select Change to customize mode. (Now your boolean button has white boundery)

4. Right click inside the white boundery and say import from clipboard (if you have already copied your image to clipboard) or import from file (if you have your image in a file) - (now the image is being updated inside the boundery)

5. Activate again the Operate menu tag and select Change to Edit mode. (Now your actual boolean button with image appears)

6. Press the boolean button (image) to get the true side of it.

7. Repeat steps 3 to 5 to embed another image on other side of the boolean button.

8. Save this control and close it. (Now you got images ambedded on to your boolean button)
