When creating a custom control, why is the picture item option removed?

I customized a system boolean to add images for each of the 6 states (including mouse hover) by selecting the picture item from the list and importing the image from a .png file.  After resizing the control, I replaced each of the images with a new one in the corrected size.  After replacing the sixth image, the control now always shows it's highlighted version and the Picture Item entry in the run-time menu has vanished.  How do I restore the control's behavior to enable all six images?
Attached is the affected .ctl file:
Edit:  I'm working in Labview 8.6.1f1.

It seems like the last image that you pasted went into the Boolean Text layer.  Since this layer seems like it can hold only one image, the picture item menu doesn't exist, and all of your attempts to right-click on the button were right-clicking on the boolean text.  Switching to Customize mode allowed me to move the Boolean Text layer away from the button and then I could see that the various picture items were still intact.

    Hello.
    Boolean controls can only have 2 possible values, true or false, and there is no way to add more values to them.
    If you need more values, then you must use a numeric control (or a string, but I tend to like numerics better, although strings could be just as useful).
    There are several types of numeric controls you could use to provide 3 or more options. Attached is a VI which shows a ring, a knob, and a slide each with 3 possible values. In your code, you would then perform different actions depending on the numeric value of your control.
    Hope this helps,
    Alejandro

  • When creating a custom SearchPlugin, is it possible to add more code such as uppercase conversion of the SearchText and IF statements that change the URL depending on what is typed?

    When creating a custom SearchPlugin, is it possible to add more code such as uppercase conversion of the searchTerms and IF statements that change the URL depending on the searchTerms? Every time I try to add something firefox doesn't want to add it as a search plugin. I need to create a more powerful search tool for personal use.

    I've found some external software applications that will do it, so that leads me to believe its not possible within ID CC.

  • Why do I get an error when creating a custom shape

    I have a student version of Photoshop CC  and it seemed to be working just fine until I had to create a custom shape. When I try and create a custom shape I receive the following error.
    Did something go wrong during installation or am I missing an addon??

    Before you draw the shape with the Pen Tool set to Paths, ensure that you have the Path Operations set to either Combine or Exclude
    Looks like yours is set to Subtract, which will produce a program error when trying to define a custom shape.

  • How do you Create a Custom Control

    Is it possible to create a custom control under LabWindows ?
    I want to creat a control that represents a mobile phone.
    It will be a rectangle with about 4 lines of text displayed in it witch needs to be programmatically entered and the back ground colour needs to be able to be change to represent different states also programmatically.

    I don't know if it's possible to create custom controls under CVI. I can suggest you some hint to help solve your problem.
    As for the second part of your question, you could use a picture ring with different pictures (with different background color) associated with the different states in your program. When program state changes you will only have to SetCtrlVal (panel, control, state) to have the picture ring display the desired colour. I guess this is a simple indicator, so you can put Control mode to indicator and hide inc/dec arrow in order to exclude operator's managing of the control.
    As a workaround about the four line of text to be displayed, what about putting on top of the picture ring a simple text box or text message with transparent backgroud col
    our and frame colour? At the cost of managing two different controls, the matter should work...

  • Hide the custom control while changing the tab

    Hello Experts,
    I am using many screens & subscreens in my application. In a tabstrip control, I am calling one subscreen which has Custom Control to display the text editor.
    When I change the tab say for ex from TAB1 to TAB2, the custom control with text editor remains at the same place. In TAB2 I dont want custom control of TAB1.
    Thank you to go through my query.
    Regards,
    Bhavina

    Hello Alej,
    I have created one subscreen which i need in a tabstrip control. Now this subscreen has one Editor Control (CL_GUI_TEXTEDIT->TEXT_EDITOR)  which I put on Custom Control. Custom Control is placed in the subscreen with SE51.
    to put the editor control  of CL_GUI_TEXTEDIT, I need Custom Control on screen. And I didnt find any property using which we can hide custom control.
    Is there any way using classes or methods, can we put Editor Control without using the custom control of screen.
    I think in your prob, you had ALV, that we can put on another subscreen, but in my prob how can we remove custom control Please Explain.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Bhavina

    Hi,
    Just as a quick start
    http://gumbo.flashhub.net/sizer/  (view source enabled).
    this uses a skin to make a titlewindow resizable, its not about the skin as much as giving you a starting point for resizing code.
    if you look into the skin you will see these functions
    protected function sizer_mouseDownHandler(event:MouseEvent):void
    OldX=event.stageX;
    OldY=event.stageY;
    systemManager.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE,startResize);
    systemManager.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP,endResize);
    protected function endResize(event:MouseEvent):void
    systemManager.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE,startResize);
    systemManager.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP,endResize);
    private function startResize(event:MouseEvent): void
    hostComponent.width -= OldX-event.stageX;
    hostComponent.height -= OldY-event.stageY;
    OldX=event.stageX;
    OldY=event.stageY;
    The idea is to have a hit area on your custom component (a corner, or all corners). You capture the mouseposition when you mousedown then in the mouse move eventlistener you update the object size with the difference between current X and Y from initial X and Y.
    Hope this gets you started.

  • How do you create a custom control which has several buttons?

    Can you do this in LabView?
    I want to make it so that one button will disable or switch the value/state of another. (Think minesweeper). I can create the logic in a subVI, but only if I have access to the property nodes of each of the buttons.
    I want the front panel of the main VI to have the buttons on it, and I don't want the buttons to appear in a separate window.
    If I place all of the buttons individually on the front panel of the main VI and pass their references to the subVI, I end up with tons and tons of variables in the main VI block diagram. It works but is very very messy.
    I tried to create a custom control with a cluster of buttons in it, but I can't seem to get at the individual property nodes. Is it possible?
    (*sighs* I wanna Class!)
    Thanks in advance
    jen

    Hi Jen
    Yes it is possible to get the individual property nodes of controls that are in a cluster.
    You have a property Controls[] in the property node of the cluster, so you get an array of control references. You just have to extract the single references to access the controls.
    I attached a screen-shot, which shows this possibility.
    Hope it helps.

  • When I take a picture with my IPhone and send it to my home computer, why do the pictures turn sideways or upside down (it's an HP windows computer)

    When I take a picture with my IPhone and send it to my home computer (HP Windows) why does the picture turn out sideways or upside down?

    OK, here's the explanation.  When you take a picture, the iPhone knows what orientation it is in (portrait, landscape, etc.) and adds that information to the picture's EXIF data so it knows which side is up.  Apple devices can decode this information and show the picture right side up when it is viewed.  However, Windows computers cannot do this.  They are not capable of decoding the orientation information added by the iPhone, so they are displayed in a default orientation (which may not be right side up).
    This only happens on Windows machines, and unfortunately there is nothing you can do about it, except use the rotation buttons in Windows picture view to orient the photo correctly.

  • How can I create accurate decimal dimensions when creating a new document or using the art board in Illustrator CS6? When I type in a number with a decimal, it automatically rounds the number up.

    How can I create accurate decimal dimensions when creating a new document or using the art board in Illustrator CS6? When I type in a number with a decimal, it automatically rounds the number up.

    For my part you are welcome, sdowers.
    Unfortunately, the uncertainty arising from the rounding has been up several times here in this forum.
    I just came to remember a warning that needs to be given:
    The rounding of the representation of a numerical value may be harmless in itself, but if you use it for any operation that changes the value, such as multiplication or whatever, things will go wrong because the operation will be made on the basis of the rounded value instead of the true value. So, as in your first case in post #2, 39.625 rounded to 39.63 will become 79.26 instead of 79.25.

  • Texting on iPhone 5.  When texting to multiple people why does the contact list return to the "A"s after you select a contact and try to add the next one in order?

    Texting on iPhone 5.  When texting to multiple people why does the contact list return to the "A"s after you select a contact and try to add the next one in order?  This really slows you down when trying to contact 50 people with information.  iPhone 4 worked just fine.  Any suggestions on how to fix this?

    None of my pictures that I uploaded into iPhoto are in my Finder under Pictures.  Should I copy and paste my folders from iPhoto into here, in case something happens to my iPhoto program (in addition to backing them up onto an external hard drive like I already do)?
    No, that's just wasting space.  A back up needs to be on a different disk.
    Your photos are within the iPhoto Library.

    I had a similar problem, and i found that the photo was of very low resoluton. As a test I resized the image to a lrager resolution using photoshop CS4 and re saved it as JPG. I imported the new saved image and it seem to have fixed the problem.
