Is Similar button available in Labview Pallette or should i make customized one?

Hi power,

 

classic palette -> simple rectangular button. Then apply colors as needed.

 

(When you need the shadow you will need to customize the button…)

DMC's GUI Suite has some of those under buttons and radiobuttons.

The DMC GUI Suite is excellent, but I see performance issues when a front panel containing these controls is open.

 

For example this FP (with no code except the buttons):

When FP is open:

When the FP is Minimized:

Tested on LabVIEW 2018 32 bit running natively and LabVIEW 2018 64 bit running in a VM.

 

This CPU usage doesn't make sense to me. It would be nice if others could verify this issue.

I ended up creating a few of my own buttons which didn't have this problem.

Hi Steve,

I don't see this behaviour on LV2019/i7-12800H: it stays at <2% CPU no matter the frontpanel  is open/minimized/maximized…

(The "2%" is with lots of background tools/services on this business laptop due to company IT management.)

Also don't see increased CPU usage with this VI on my PC (LabVIEW 2023Q3 x64/Win10).

 

But I have another question. Just curious - which control was used as template for this button with rounded corners? Usually when graphic is inserted as picture items, then the radius of the corners will be resized together with control, but in this case it keep the shape, for example, compared with Classic Control:

And this is the button with six states:

How to create such customized control step by step from the scratch?
