A new "Picture and Text" Command Button

In CVI there are two kind of buttons:

  • the classic text button (i.e. a button with a text where you can't insert an image)
  • the picture button (i.e. a button with an image where you can't add a text)

But if you try to design a modern interface (like the MS Outlook 2010 ribbon, for example) you need a button where you can have both

  • an image statically or dynamically  loaded from file)
  • a text string localized through the UIR localizer

Even in the new CVI 2010 SP1 there isn't a convenient workaround (see here, for example).

In LabVIEW, otherwise, this kind of buttons can be easily created.

 

An interesting feature would be also a setting to set the text position referred to the picture (top, bottom, left, right).

it would be nice also a command button with text inside and external label, like the "Square Text Button" in the "Toggle Button" section
