Hi all,
instead of an script based flow control programming UI for our user, where they type text to control the measurment instrument.
We want to program an graphical UI where they can add new commands per drag'n'drop from a Picture Ring to a surface.
Similar to a flow chart tool (e.g.: yED Graph Editor), or to the UML Modeller from Symbio (Picture).
But we are not sure how to solve this...
Draw it on an big picture control: Then we have more work find the right object if the user double click it to configure it. We have more work drawing the flow arrows especially if the user move something.
Draw it via scripting on a frontpanel and reload it in a subpanel: Then it is easier to interact with the user because we can use an event structure and using pictured boolean controls for the objects. But the arrows are still a problem. And perhaps the dead time is to long if the user works faster.
Draw it to a small picture control in an array, because we just need rows and no colums?
So our question is:
How could we program this UI: Picture control, Subpanel or something else?
Did anyone solve this by himself before?
Thanks for help and sorry for my broken english.
Hope i make it clear.
Oliver
