LabVIEW does not include System versions of the I/O palette controls. I was upgrading several VISA based stand-alone apps and converted the FP items to system to make the app more 'professional'. The odd appearance of the VISA session control inspired me to create an XP style VISA Resource control. Attached file in LabVIEW 8.6 format. I've also created an XP style Time stamp control.
Can you post a screenshot of the CTL?
Can you do the rest of the controls and indicators in XP style?
Can you do the rest of the controls and indicators in XP style?
Which control / indicator are you interested in?
