How to replace a button with icon?

[asc01001]

Hello!

Is there a way to replace a button with an icon? Or maybe to cover the button with som picture so it looks like a icon?

In the attached file I show with a picture what I mean?

Is it possible in LabVIEW to get color in some picutre transparent? For example, I do not want the white color to be visable, can I make it transparent?

1. Open Help->Search the LabVIEW Bookshelf.

2. Find corresponding manual:•

Hi,

            Any boolean button can be replaced by any picture by customizing that button.Right click on the boolean button select Advanced>Customize...that will open a new window with the button,copy the picture you want to replace on it and right click on it select Import picture from clipboard>True and same procedure for false condition. I have attached a vi. Hope this helps you.Let me know if this is ok.

Auto,

When I right click on the button in edit control screen, "import picture from clipboard" was grayed out ...would know how to enable that?  is it because I'm using v8.6?

That option is greyed out if there is nothing in your clipboard.

I usually open an image in paint do a ctrl-a to slect all and the a ctrl-c to copy to the clipboard.
