colorbox control in an array of clusters

[pavitrabaxi]

hi, im working on labview 6. i have an array of clusters. the cluster has eight elements. one of them is a colorbox control. I want this colorbox control to have only 4 colors i.e, the user has a choice of only 4 colors if he clicks on the colorbox control. can ihave such a control?

Try to create a ring with 4 color images inside and attach cases of ring selection with colorboxes which has preselected colors. Now you can apply this values to element of your array.

Hi Pavitra,

Use labview Help to guide you.

Or else,

A new picture ring control or text and picture  ring control has one item with an empty picture display. You must copy a picture to the clipboard before you can import the picture  into a ring control. LabVIEW can import all graphic files your graphics software supports.

Complete the following steps to import pics  into ring controls.

1. Copy a picture to the clipboard.
2. Right-click the ring control or text and picture ring control and select Import picture from the shortcut menu.
3. Copy another Pictureto the clipboard.
4. Right-click the ring control or text and picture ring control and select Import picture Before or Import picture After from the shortcut menu.

Use the Operating tool to click the picture box to view all imported pictures

regards

Dev
