Re: multiple images

Hi Ben the picture ring is perfect, but the idea I had in the beginning based on your example, to change the whole screen at the same time is not feasible. I need to have also controls on the Screen. the question is how can I take the frame( the sunken frame around it) out of the picture ring to

I need to have also controls on the Screen. the question is how can I take the frame( the sunken frame around it) out of the picture ring to make it blend with the rest of the screen? if I can achieve this I can just put a pic. ring for each of the valves and switchs independent of each

I Ben the extension of this file is .llb, is this a valid LabView extension ? I will try this method and see if I can get it going. my approach to this was to build a main VI with the main schematic drawing of the system and then use sub VIs to just change the valves and switchs but the idea of

Re: multiple images

A .llb is a library for LV. I usualy avoid /llb's but that example was intended for demonstrating dynamic instanciation of VI's. That meant I had to make sure all the support file where present to work correctly. The .llb was just a convienent way of solving the problem when I posted the example.
