Changing background pictures of control or Xcontrol

I need to create a control based on a solidworks drawing of a throttle lever. I was able to create 200 individual .jpegs of the throttle lever; one for each position I want it in, but am not sure how to change the picture based on the position of the hidden Labview slide control. I planned to hide a slide control on top of the handle for the throttle lever, and then change which of the two hundred pictures are loaded based on the position of the slide control. I have been trying to figure out how to do it with an Xcontrol, but have never used one before and am sorta stumped? I have not been able to find an example, but seem to remember reading about people doing similar things with the Xcontrol?

For the displaying of the different images you could us my Boolean XControl.
Using a hidden slider will not work.
A better thing would be a picture control and use Mouse Down and Mouse Move events to determine which image to load into the picture control.

Changing background picture every 5 seconds.....having issues

When I switch the background picture to change every 5 seconds my computer either freezes, runs slow, doesn't work normal (if I open another application it won't be functional). I have 1gb of ram (came with the computer) so I'm not sure if this is where the problem stems from.
If I set it to change the picture ever minute then I don't have any problems.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Although unlimited it is limited to 300Gb download+upload.
Is it at all possible that you have maxed out your download cap. You therefore will have reduced speed during peak times.
Does not explaine your speedtest results out side of that.
You have checked all your equipment and tested on the your test socket and changed filters etc.
If all of this is done and it's still the same, sadly a call to support will need to be made so they can investigate further.

Laptop 'hanging' when trying to change background picture

Hi
I've tried to change the background picture under system preferences - desktop/screensavers. When I tried to select a picture from my iphoto-folders the system hung and won't come back at all until I shot it down with the on/off button. I wasn't even able to do a forced quit...
Did somebody encounter this as well?
It actually worked fine again after a restart, but still I think this a strange behaviour.

If I can jump in here, Jason is asking about background applications of which there are several always running. You can check this by opening Activity Monitor (in Applications> Utilities).
Changing pictures is affected by a number of other applications, including (oddly) the Dock.
When you selected the picture, was it in one of the Original or Modified folders? Try copying the picture and moving it to a separate folder in the Pictures folder and selecting it again.

Change background picture @ login

Is there some way I can change that background picture at the Login Screen? ie. i want to change the purplish login picture to some other picture. Does anyone know how to do that?

I suggest you use this method

IPhoto pictures does not show up when trying to change desktop pictures

When I got my new MBP I used a Time Machine back up to restore my system. This has worked great, though so far there is one little issue:
When I right click my desktop and choose "Change background picture" my iPhoto images doesn't show up in the menu like they used to.
Has anyone got any idea about how to get them back in there? Do I somehow have to "let Leopard know" that I have an iPhoto library that I would like to be able to choose from?
Thanks!

HI Rune,
That is most likely a shared library issue. The Finder is trying to access your iPhoto library without iPhoto being open. Sometimes when libraries are shared, they can become corrupt.
Go here and read about shared library issues.

The easiest way to fix this is to back up your important data and do an Archive and Install which restores your system software. It does NOT erase the drive, you do not have to reinstall any Apple pre-installed software, ie., iLife applications.
Go here and read the instructions for archive and install.

How to stop the auto change of the desktop background picture ?

How do I change the background picture that is shown when i start my Mac?

On the iMacs in my school they have a different name for everyone of the after for example the band Queen and then there is a picture on the inlogg screen with queen on it. So then you log in and there is another background picture after that. I Have a macbook pro and I would like to change that "start-picture".
Right now it´s kind of boring and grey. Can you change it somehow?

It sounds like you're using Adobe Send for Outlook. Correct?
Unfortunately, there is no way to change the default text that is inserted into your message. You'll have to change it each time.
I will pass along your request to the Adobe Send team.

In imovie, I have greenscreen clip. First I want to change background to solid color THEN add a picture within picture. When I try to stack all 3, I get two but not all three.....help! thanks!

in imovie 10.0.2, i have a green screen clip. first i want to change background - solid color probably - but then i'd like to also add a picture within picture along side the video....have attempted to "stack" all three, and can get two out of three but not all three....what's the trick? thanks!

In iMovie you can only do two at a time. So the work-around would be to do the green screen/change background color part. Then Share this. Then import this piece back into an event. Then add the picture in picture.
In Final Cut Pro X, you could easily do what you are describing.
The main reason is that iMovie does all rendering in one pass. Final Cut Pro X allows multiple renders as you go along, so you can do much more complex effects.

How control can be customized so that it changes its picture when mouse moves over it

How control can be customized so that it changes its picture when mouse moves over it. As it happens in other develpment enviroments that one can customized the look 'n feel of any thing during the mouse movement over that very thing. Moreover can any body plz tell me that how one can modify the funtionality of a control by him self (not selecting the available functionalities of controls and indicators)

The attached LV 7.1 code uses an event configured to trigger on two controls when a "Mouse Enter" or a Mouse Leave" event occurs. Depending on the type key focus is either assigned or removed.
Please elaborate on the Q re: customizing a control.
Ben
PS Do NOT change the boolean to an indicator, save, run, change to control, save run again. That is bad.

Background pictures changing once DVD is created....

So I have a simple DVD which Ive placed a picture for the background of my main menu. I have a submenu that also has a background picture. Now when I preview the DVD each menu shows it's appropriate background, but once I create the DVD, it shows the submenu background for the main menu as well. I actually have 2 submenus and the one background takes over for all backgrounds on all menus. It's really annoying. Anyone know what might be happening?
Thanks.

Hello, Scott,
Welcome to the discussions!
I don't know what is causing your problem, but a good place to start is to delete iDVD's preference file. Preference files are notorious for becoming corrupt and a sign of that can be weird things happening when you are working in the application.
So, with iDVD closed, go Home(YourUserName)/Library/Preferences/com.apple.idvd.plist. Drag this plist file to the trash. iDVD will create a new one when you reopen it. You may need to reset the preferences if you have changed them from the default. Take a look at your current preferences before trashing the file so you can reset them if necessary.
You might also want to do a 'repair permissions' on your computer's drive. Use Disk Utlity for this. Just highlight your drive's icon in DU's list on the left and click on 'Repair permissions.' It may take a while, but when you receive the notice that it is completed, reopen iDVD and see if it runs well now.
Post back if these suggestions do not help.

Can you programmatically change a picture control frame/border

In a platform neutral manner can I programmatically change a picture control frame/border
Solved!
Go to Solution.

You can make it look that way using many differnt methods.
The simplest is to make the border transparent and put a boolean behind the picture. Size the boolean so it looks like it is the border of the picture. Change the color of the boolean and you are on you way.

Dear all,
I just downloaded the now IOS7 on my iPhone4S, the background picture has faded a bit, the folders that contains my icons are solid bright gray and the keyboard is pail/bright gray and I can hardly see it. Is there a way that I can change the colors, the shades, etc? I don't like the new layout, it's too bright and too pale, like the face of a Georgian monarchy. Thank you for your help and support.

I changed the background picture, which is a dark pink flower, now the folders have become solid pink! Not esthetically pleasing

Change propertise of Picture Content Control in microsoft office Word 2010

Hi
I have a Picture Content Control in my document. When I right click on object and select size and position, on the size tab we have two option: Absolute and Relative.
How i can change absolute to Relative... The relative option is always grayed.
I want to when i add picture to my picture content control object, it's resize fit with my image size.
Please help me as soon as possible.
Thanks

Hi,
Based on my research, the Relative Size settings only pertain to 'Drawing
Objects' (AutoShapes). It does not apply to photographs, Clip Art or other images unless they are Grouped with a Shape. See:
