Just about any control can be customized to look different, and sometimes even behave differently. There's a short section in the LabVIEW manual on customizing controls. There are also numerous places where customized controls can be downloaded. If you do a Google search you'll find a few. You may find a few on the <a href="http://c.webring.com/hub?ring=labview" target="_blank">LabVIEW Web Ring</a>. A search on the NI site will also turn up several examples whipped up by NI and others. For your specific questions:- Picture control: It's not clear what you mean about the image in a list. Are you saying you want to select an image from the list and then have it drawn in the picture indicator, or something else? Are you wanting, instead the Picture Ring control?
- Picture control (2): You can change the border using the paintbrush tool. Select the tool, move it so that it's on the border, right-click, and select the "T" box, which means transparent, if you want to remove the border, or pick some other color. Background is done the same way.
- Custom message dialog: Right click on the block diagram, go to the "Dialog and User Interface" palette, and select the "Prompt User" or "Display Message" Express Dialog VIs. You can then right-click on the icon and select "Open Front Panel". This will convert it to a regular VI and you can customize the controls on it any way you see fit.
Side-note: Did you know your posts show up with a blue background and white text. It is very... odd.

A lot of controls (like the picture control) don't seem to have a way to edit them once you get to this Advanced Customize mode. It is all one piece.

Eureka! I'll look into that right now!TonP: I haven't tried your <a href="http://forums.lavag.org/downloads-file104.html" _target="_blank"></a>yet, but I noticed a lot of the other links are non-functional. The book is not available any longer, either.

Why is all of your text coming up white on a blue background?&nbsp; It is kind of annoying.:smileywink:

"A lot of controls (like the picture control) don't seem to have a way to edit them once you get to this Advanced Customize mode.

Just a moment, editing in pictures...Edit: Here you go.Here's the button you need to hit to actually make useful changes.<img src="http://forums.ni.com/attachments/ni/170/288616/1/customcont1.gif"> Here's the menu that lets you change all of the pictures. (It took me a while to figure out why my big square black buttons turned small, round, and gray while in use. ^_^ )<img src="http://forums.ni.com/attachments/ni/170/288616/2/customcont2.gif"> Message Edited by DJDDA on 12-05-2007 01:32 PM

Thanks! That actually helps a *lot*! I'd been wondering how to edit those darned controls. :)So you guys really don't like my pretty blue background with white text? Hmmm... well, aside from being normal, what would you prefer?Speaking for myself, no. It's very distracting and glaring. Normal is perfectly fine for me, thank you very much. :smileywink:
