How do I create my own special Button?

[Beast]

I'm programming with LabView6.1 and I want to create my own Button. More precisely: a triangular file to increase or decrease a value in a global variable.
I've no idea how to realize it. Some leading steps would be very helpful. THKs

Thanks, but is it possible to create a NEW button? I don't want to change an existing one. Is there any possibility to create a new one or is there no feature like this included in Lab-VIEW 6.1?

What does NEW mean? Each time you drop a button from the palette, it is
a unique button that can be colored, resized, and customized with
external graphics. The behavior of the button can be customized a bit
using the Mechanical Action setting. If you want to change something
besides these settings, and you are on windows, you best bet is probably
to write an ActiveX control.

LV supports both windowed and windowless ActiveX controls. You can
write whatever you like and use the ActiveX container to host it in LV.
You can also add i
t to the palette, like LV does for the 3D graph.

Is that what you were looking for? Please be more explicit with what
you want to do.

Thanks for request, but the problem is already solved by "wha@atmel".
Your hints are helpful, but I'm not very familiar with LabVIEW because I started programming with it about 1 month ago. So sometimes little steps to the product may help more than thousands of tips.
