labview screensaver download

[Steve Blackwell]

I am looking to bring either text or a bitmap image of my choice onto the front pannel as and when to act as some sort of screensaver VI. The image would ideally be our company logo, however the difficult bit now occurs. I need to have this image develop some kind of animation and move itself round the full size of the screen in a nice controlled manner. If possible I want to keep microsoft out of this as much as possible as there screensavers lock everything up, and we may go REAL TIME anyway. Any VI's you guys may have that will give my bitmap some animation will be much appreciated.
Thanks as always, Steve.

Hi,

I'd send you an example of a bitmap (given by file path) that rotates in a
picture control.

This is about as simple as it gets.

Oops, even simpler; change the BG color every now and then...

Bwt. Drawing bitmaps gets time expensive if the bitmaps get large.

Regards,

Wiebe.

If you have the Picture Control Toolkit, then there is an example here which demonstrates exactly what you are wanting to do. A picture of a donut (bitmap) bounces around in a picture control on the front panel.
