need help reg labview control *.ctl

[ksn1]

What are the uses of creating labview controls i.e. *.ctl and how to do  this?

thanks in advance.

That is a question for which the answer could fill several pages.

Two main uses:

You can custom existing native LV controls to look differently or, you can create instances of controls that are linked to a 'master', changes to the master are then update on all the other instances. It is an in depth subject that is explained well in the LabVIEW help functions.

Good luck

The simple answer as ssk pointed out is that it will save you lots of time using a custom control because when you need to modify it, you only need to change the master. 

To create one, simpy select under the Files menu, New, and browse to the bottom to select Custom Control.  See attached image.

FILES>NEW>Custom Control
