Custom Controller using UI Manager on Veristand 2015SP1

Hello. I'm using UI Manager which released recently on VeriStand 2015 SP1.

I want to customize each object, Numeric Controller , String Controller.

Previous VeriStand version without UI Manger allows us to customize each object using VI file in
"Display Templates".
For example it let us set object gray-out controlling as disable action.

I can't find any file that relates to cutomize the objects.
Does anyone know that  the method of customizing each object in file on UI Manager?

 

Thank you,

Nori

I'm usually not one to scream "me too!", but: Me too!

 

The new UI Manager looks really good in terms of functionality, but I would like to expand the functionality a bit. Right now I'm in the process of updating a customer's installation and it might be a good time to change the UI, too.

If it's a closed system, it's not really that attractive to change.

Also: What happened to the Logging Control? I can't find it...

Hi,

 

Unfortunately there is currently no public API or SDK to create new controls for the UI Manager.

Future versions of NIVS may include more information about that. One thing you must know is that UI Manager controls are not LabVIEW VIs, and if NI R&D decides to expose a SDK to allow creation and customization, you should be ready to take on serious C# development 🙂

I dont want to sound annoying but Veristand already comes with all a huge help file with all .NET API reference for interacting with VS from any .NET enabled language, so I dont see any more complication than we have already been exposed to.

I Agree with Claudio. No one assumed it would be simple, but I think it will be absolutely necessary for the future.

 

What happened to the Logging Control? Did I just overlook it?

Even in VeriStand 2018 there doesn't seem to be any functionality to customize UI Manager controls or indicators
