Dynamic Buttons

[flezt]

Yes, that does help out a lot. I decided to go with making the rectangle and the text from the picture controls vi's. Anyways I am wondering if there is a way to set a variable to be the MaxPixel, where I do not hardcode it in. So, my MinPixel would be 0(hardcoded/constant). But I want a dynamic way to set the MaxPixel to the end of the picture. thank you

Pretend that Ben did not understand that at all.

Try to rephrase so that I can understand and include an image to illustrate the question.... please.

Yea, sometimes I can't express my thoughts into written language.. But I found what I was looking for it was in picture>>property node>>Area Width. So, it'll change dynamically correct?

[Ben]

It should.

PS: When you get something useful together please share some example code or lacking that... some screen shot so others can see what types of results you achieved.

Yes Ben, I will update some screenshots of the front panel when I get done with it. But, for the code, my hands are pretty much tied up on that one as this is not for my personal use. I will try though.

here is a screenshot of my front panel. I have another question then this project basically should be done for now......until we get to add more parameters.

If I click on the picture where my "buttons" are, how can I trigger a value change so it may go into my event structure

Without seeing code it's a fairly wild stab, but I'd say you want to use the picture control's mouse up event and then 'unmap' the position to the appropriate button using the reverse of whatever code you use to place the buttons.

But I guess I will change some things around and post the code if you guys really want it. New blank vi, different names. For the future ofc 🙂

I tried what you said, and it deletes everything. I am uploading the code. Please let me know what I should do next. And is there a way that if a "button" overlaps, the button with higher index goes behind the one with the lower index.

anyone?
