How to combine ring control/radio button ?

[mnemo15]

Dear all,

I would like to combine a radio button with a ring (of image) control on 1 control (which should not be a cluster), that means that each time that i am selecting a boolean in the radio control automatically, the corresponding image in the ring control is selected with no using a cluster control. I have attached the 2 control that I want to combine : ScannerModeDraw.ctl = ring control and ScannerMode.ctl = radio buttons.

thanks by advance

regards

Have you researched Xcontrols?

Hi apok,

thank you for your vi but i am sure that it is possible with Labview to do it immediatly in a control. The images in the ring control are just here to explain to the user what the radio buttons are corresponding to.

Have you any idea how to do it in the control ?

thanks by advance

It can easily be done with Xcontrols.  Look at the "Simple Dual Mode Thermometer XControl" example for guidance.

Hi Mnemo 15,

I totally agree with vt92 : custom controls do not allow to add code in order to add new functionnalities, but XControls do!
