programatically add pictures to ring

Hi

How to programatically add pictures to a picture ring?

Hi swathi,

afaik, this is not supported and i'm not sure if scripting can handle it.

You can use an array of picture controls instead of it.

ok.Thanks for your reply..

The scripting interface does not have this functionality, either, and requires the full development environment (hard to deploy).

What are you trying to do?

The array of picture controls mentioned above is a good option, as is a simple picture control you load images into.  You can get custom pop-up menus to imitate the selection list of a pict ring.  You can probably produce the interface you want, but it may take a bit of work.

You can programmatically add pictures to a Listbox. If your pictures are tiny, maybe this would work for you.

I know this post is old, so maybe someone has already figured out how to do this.

I did this by creating an executable using AutoHotKey.  Attatched is the *.vi and *.exe you'll need.  The original AutoHotkey script is also attached, but not needed.

For anyone who is interested, AutoHotkey is a great tool for automating redundant procedures.  It's also great for creating short cut keys for tasks you do all the time.
