Scripting Silver Controls

[paul_a_cardinale]

Is it possible to create silver controls with sccripting?

It does not look like it is possible directly.  However, you can create a VI with the silver controls of interest on the front panel, then Move them to your target during scripting.  This trick works for any sort of custom control.  Alternately, you can create custom control VIs (.ctl) which only contain a single silver control and pass the path of the control to your create VI object.

I have created CAR #313211 to track this issue.

I found the answer: The silver controls are not new object styles nor classes; they are custom controls located in  ... \vi.lib\silver_ctls\

I found the same answer.  The CAR has been closed as irrelevant.  Here is a snippet of code showing how to create a silver knob.
