Using customize cotrol

[KRAZE4LV]

 I was going through the examples for customize the control. I came across one of then which I am posting.  I have to make some similar concept VI. I understand the VI well but I am unable to understand how the custom control with images are developed.

1.First, I just tried to develop same problem with my own pictures

2. I wish to design the same with different concept.

 I studied http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/371361B-01/lvconcepts/custom_cont_ind_type/, I tried making some ctl file with strict def.

I think the programmer uses the local variable but what kind of icon is used to move the man to climb? Ho can I develop similar program?

There is no local variable is involved.

The controls that are used here are the "vertical fill slides" and "horizontal fill slides" (found under numeric pallete). The slide pointers are also customized (with the picture of a climbing person and a van) to get the effect.

You also can develop the similar programs by studying the link that you have copied propery and tryingt out a few examples

There are local variables used in this VI but they are just used to reinitialize the start values of the sliders, they have nothing to do with the custom controls.  As Guru said, you'll have to follow the help on custom controls to see how to get the images on the sliders.  To do this:

1.  Add control to the front panel

2.  Right click on the control and select Advanced-->Customize... This will open a new front panel (not exactly the same as the toolbar will be different)

3.  Click on the wrench icon at the top to change to Customize mode

4.  Right click on the part of the control you want to change.

5.  Select the option that you want to paste the image.

Follow these steps to change each part of the control.
