How do you create a new Xcontrol?

Solved!
Go to solution

Hi,

 

I'm trying to learn about Xcontrols but can't get past the first step in the tutorial: creating a new Xcontrol!  When I right-click -> New on My Computer in a blank project, XControl is not an option.  I'm running LV2010 Full on Windows 7.  I am able to open an use example XControls.

 

Am I just looking in the wrong place or something?

 

Thanks,

Scott

I don't know the tutorial you speak of, but to create a new X-Control, open LabVIEW, select File->New...

 

A new dialog will be shown and you can pick XControl from that.

That would be the right place to click. What does your menu show?

You cannot create XControls with your version of LabVIEW.  From:

 

http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/371361G-01/lvhowto/creating_labview_xcontrols/

 

Note  You can create and edit XControls only in the LabVIEW Professional Development System. If a VI contains an XControl, you can run the VI in all LabVIEW packages.

Bingo, didn't see that he noted he was using the Full version. Good catch.
