Creating new front panel elements

[tfritz]

Hi,

is there a way to create my own front panel elements that inherit from existing ones and enhance their functionality. I'm thinking of things like a graph together with a numeric control that takes an array and displays the element defined by the numeric control. And I'd like to be able to define a new frontpanel element that implements this and then just having to pass an array to it for it to work and don't have to implement the selection logic everytime I use it.

In short: Can I define new frontpanel elements that inherit from existing ones?

Sorry, if this is a basic question.

Hi Tobias,

yes it's possible. It's called XControl, there is a shipped example in the example finder.

Yes an Xcontrol will et you develop those yourself but...

Your description sounds like an Chart with the

Properties >>> Visable Items >>> Numeric values

checked.
