image background in labview

[Harold_Timmis]

I am trying to put a themed background onto my front panel i know you can drag and drop images onto the front panel but you cannot put controls or buttons over the image because then always end up going underneath the image.

can anyone help with this?

thanks

Select your background image and press Ctrl+Shift+J (Send to back). Or select control and press Ctrl+Shift+K (Bring to front). These options available also from pulldown menu (last button on the tool bar)

Thanks, Ben. I'm a little bit tired and lazy today from making screenshots... Sometimes text-oriented language is better and faster than graphical environment, isn't? 😉

We're a team Andrey.

NOT! If you had to live in my head you would not even think such a thought.

You can also right click on the vertical scroll bar and set "theme" or image their also.

Also don't forget that you can place images on the background via the pane properties. This is similar to the windows desktop, you even have a choice of tile, center, and stretch.

Are there any other graphical programming languages besides LabVIEW?
I haven't seen any yet. All I have seen is the thousands of text based languages

(unless you count flash, which is kinda different)

HP VEE  from HP of course.

There is supposed to be another one that was/is being developed by MS.

I second Ben on this one.  Those of us who are visually minded are indeed abundantly grateful for an efficient graphical environment.  If you can write and deploy stuff faster in a text language, more power to you.
