How to Convert existing Front Panel VI to XControl?

[geirove]

Hello,

I have two standalone VI's that I want to convert to XControls X1 and X2 and then use X1 and X2 in one main Front Panel.

Is there an easy way to convert an existing stand alone Front Panel vi to a XControl ?

Tips and examples are welcome !

Hello,

No one with a tip here?

I view XControls as reusable GUI Widgets, or what is also called Composite Panes in Smalltalk and Java Programming.

In Java one can easily create a reusable Pane by just removing it's top Fram and keep the top level Panel.

Is there ways to do this in LabView (8.2) other than XControls? XControls seems usefull but a bit complex....

I would create the XControl, and do a copy paste from the original code, you are right that an XControl is a reusable GUI Widget, be aware that the current implementation suffers from some bugs where teh updates from a property aren't always applied.
