cannot create xcontrol

[ds_1]

Hi,

     I'm trying to create a XControl, but I do not see it in menu (see attached) I can open the example and look at the existing .xctrl, yet I do not have an option to create one. What am I missing? Using LV 8v5

Thanks,

ds1 

(also, when I try to post a message using Opera Browser, pressing enter does give a carriage return on the next line, but goes up to previous line!! Most frustrating) Is this just me?

what version of LabVIEW? base,full or  professional? x controls only available with professional version.

Click on 'New...' at the bottom of the submenu.

 Thanks,

Have "Full" Development System. Pretty frustrating having to go to the forum to find out I don't have it. Would have thought it easy to grey out help items for features that aren't part of your package, or some other easier way.

This should definitely be better documented. For example I cannot find Xcontrols listed here.
