3 way vertical toggle switch

[Prabhjit]

can we have 3 way vertical toggle switch, with unstable position at top, neutral position in center and stable position at bottom

use a slider control, but set the type to integer instead of double and coerce the range from 1 to 3. The slider will then take on one of three values.

If you want something that looks a bit more like the standard switches, I've made some that use the picture control.

If you're interested, you can read a bit more and download them here.

I need to substitute a two ways switch in a four ways switch. Do you know if this is possible? Thank you.

Hi Aurelia,

You can modify the example given in this document:
How to Create a Three-Position Vertical Switch [link removed; example no longer available]

to have a 4 way switch. The example gives step-by-step instructions to do that when you click on the Help button (however, note that this example is written for LabVIEW 5.0.1 so some menu options in later versions of LabVIEW are slightly different).

Hope this helps and let me know if you have any questions about it.

Good luck!

hello sir,

thanks for giving your valuable suggestions but sir what i want is is to have 3 way vertical toggle switch, with unstable position at top, neutral position in center and stable position at bottom. MOST IMPORTANT the shape of the switch should be same as that of vertical toggle switch.

Hi Ed,

Thanks for the link to your page. In all of my google Labview searches, I hadn't come across your page yet. I think we need a forum section where people can put links to their Labview homepages.

Avon: Try the attached vi. It has a 3 way switch control.
