Displaying bitmaps as a background.

[rcard53762]

I am using Labview version 8.

And I want to dispaly a bitmap a s the background of my VI.

I dont want to use the standard Labview grey background.

Any ideas where to start?

Thanks

Hi Rick,
1) open a proper sized bitmap in a program like Paint (if Windows of course)
2) select all and copy to clipboard
3) go to vi's front panel and press ctrl-v
4) thoroughly position your picture
that's all. Let us know if you need something more complicated.
Ah! I forgot to suggest you to use jpeg instead. Bitmaps tend to be too heavy and it does rarely worth. With this simple trick I reduced the size of an executable from 4 MB to 900kB!
