The title says it all, but let me expand a little...
Since LabVIEW 8, trying to create a VI from a selection containing a reference to an Image Control fails. It does absolutely nothing, nada, nitchevo, nichts, rien...
There are at least TWO CARs about it: 54165 and 35835.
Yet, years after years, nothing is done about it.
A workaround for creating VI is to remove the connections to any of the image control references in the original selection, and once in the created subVI, drop a custom control that you will have strategically dropped in your Favorites Control Palette:
Then you need to add it to the connector pane, reconnect in the original calling VI...
Not the easiest but manageable.
Now, what about managing events using a Register Event node handling several controls, including a couple of Image controls? Usually, when not using images, I bundle references to the controls and do the Event Registration in a subVI (there are typically a lot of wires and large nodes involved, therefore this would take an undue amount of real estate in a main VI).
The problem is, any cluster containing a Image Control Reference can apparently not be created as a control in a "Create subVI" or even a "Create Control" operation:
FAIL!
FAIL!
Once again, it is possible to do all this manually, but if you have a bunch of Image Control references and other references to bundle, this is becoming rapidly tedious.
