Cannot create custom controls

I have the following .ctl file and I am having problems creating a custom control out of it. It is a push button and LED tied together with a frame around it. How can I create this as one control that I can use in my other .vi's?
Thanks

Tony,

Try this: Use the native 6i boolean with an integrated indicator. Place and edit the control. Set it to edit the control. Separate out the indicator and replace the appropriate elements of it with your own style. Also place the button elements with the elements of your button. It will be tricky, but once you do this, you will be set.

Good luck

What you want to create is very similar to the LED Button control on the Classics palette. I would use that one as a starting point. I don't believe that you can combine two different controls into one like you were trying to do. A control has no diagram.
