Description:
This package contains a class to quickly create controls programmatically based on templates.
Instructions:
After installing package with VIPM, refresh palettes if VIPM is not set to refresh automatically.
Use palettes.
On LabVIEW restart, a Tools Menu shortcut gives access to a Control Generator GUI (Tools >> UI Tools >> Control Generator)
Known Issues:
The control creator provided under "Tools" menu is not yet complete:
- It doesn't batch process controls yet.
- The "pure white" (xFFFFFF) is drawn as black (use FEFEFE instead... that's close, and I really don't know why!)
Acknowledgements:
Wojciech Golebiowski for his BitMan library (Bitmap Manipulation).
History:
v1.4.0: Removed a self-conflicting dependency on new installation
v1.3.0: Renamed package and moved templates to vi.lib to remove the need to rely on system files (outside of LabVIEW folder structure).
