Question about controls

[CoCo]

Dear sir:
I've used Measurement Studio 6.0 for a month or so. I should say it had improved a lot comparing with the former version. But I feel a little bit unconvenience about the ring controls. The arrow block attaching with the control can't be changed. No matter how big the control is, that arrow block'width keep still. I want to make it wider,but I can't.
So I will be very appreciate if you can make some change about this sort controls! thank you very much.

If you have a plain ring (CTRL_RING or CTRL_RING_LS), use the following code:

SetCtrlAttribute (panel, control, 20472, newWidth);

If you have a menu ring (CTRL_RECESSED_MENU_RING, CTRL_MENU_RING, CTRL_POPUP_MENU_RING, CTRL_RECESSED_MENU_RING_LS, CTRL_MENU_RING_LS, or CTRL_POPUP_MENU_RING_LS) use the following code:

SetCtrlAttribute (panel, control, 20475, newWidth);

If you want to set the height of a menu ring's arrow, use the following code:

SetCtrlAttribute (panel, control, 20476, newHeight);

These are undocumented attributes, so you won't find their description in the function panel help or online help.

Hi,

CVI2012 provides this new feature, now you can use SetRingItemAttribute (, , , ATTR_DIMMED, ), e.g.

SetRingItemAttribute ( PANEL, PANEL_RING_4, 2, ATTR_DIMMED, 1 );
