Create an Array of Cursors IDs in LabVIEW

[EccentRick]

Overview

Often an application calls for multiple cursors based on different conditions. This VI shows how to build an array of cursor IDs from cursor files in Windows and change the cursor based on user events.

Description

An array of paths is used to generate an array of cursor IDs, which are then indexed based on the user's choice of the "Cursor" control. The cursor ID indexed is then used to set the cursor in the current VI. When the user stops the VI, all cursor IDs are destroyed, or disposed of.

Requirements

• LabVIEW 2012 (or compatible).

Steps to Implement or Execute Code

1. Run the VI
2. Select a cursor from the enum control and observe the changes.
3. In edit-mode, change the paths and/or enum control to use custom cursors.
