Zoom Factor won't work with PicRing??

[ShogunOrta]

So a while back I asked if there was a way to be able to zoom in/out of a picture on the Front Panel. I was given the reply to use Zoom Factor and a user here even supplied me with a useful VI. And I've been working with this VI. It works well, but now I want to be able to do the same thing but with a PicRing instead of just a picture. But... when I connect the PicRing where the New Picture was connected, I get an error message:

You have connected two terminals of different types. The type of the source is picture. The type of the sink is unsigned word [16-bit integer]

....And I keep getting that error message no matter what I do. I'll keep trying but I was wondering if you guys have any ideas?

Review the attached pics for what I'm talking about.

attach your actual VI! (use Explorer or Chrome if Firefox does not work)

By the way: why should it work??? A picture ring is not a picture control! Why do you expect that you can connect them with a wire???

edit: After some search on the forum, and looking at the property node options for a Picture Ring, it looks like, you can NOT dynamically change zoom factor of a picture inside of a Picture Ring!

But why do you need to use a Picture Ring? You could dynamically load any picture you want at runtime, and zoom in/out. So do not use picture ring if you want to change zoom factor...

You can also consider using array of pictures, have a look at this example:
