Edit: accidently put it here instead of "User Interface". Already reported. Are there any specialised tools to create controls or can anyone tell me how this is done in Labview? I tried to create this custom color box. The black lines are static, the red part is my colorbox. Untill then everything was ok. Once implented in my vi I notice it's too big and want to scale it. Problem is that the only thing I can scale is the border. The black and red part stay the same size. Even worse, once you downscale the grey background, all my seperate parts of the control become visible and can be moved.

I got an annoying problem with my latest project. I have alot of controls. To control the visibility of them I use a vi that checks my list of controls that have to be visible and compares it with the actualy control list, turning it on or off. It works great but there is a noticeable lag (seconds) with this technique when there is an images pasted on the background. The lag is gone when I delete the background. Why is this? The image itself is not big. It's copy/pasted from a jpg.

I would put everything in arrays. That way I could have easy access to all elements. problem with that would be filtering out whole columns and showing the remaining. What you call filtering sounds more like deleting a column. There is an entire palette of functions (called the "Array" palette) for manipulating arrays including, deleting portions, creating specific subsets, transposing, reversing, etc. You just need to learn how these functions work. Looking at example code is a good way to get started. Array use is so common that you have a hard time not seeing examples of it. But you can search in the Help for "delete column," "array," and other similarly obvious keywords. This is probably not the best forum for this sort of basic question. Maybe use the LabVIEW General forum in the future for new user stuff. Generally, you should be prepared to say what your own efforts have been to figure out the problem before asking for getting lots of help. I bet I can do it with seperate numeric control boxes to (no, i'm not going to try that), that isn't the problem. I don't need a whole solution. I was just wondering what the best and cleanest design for this problem was. http://img511.imageshack.us/my.php?image=schematicpp6.jpg' target="_blank">

I hope the image clarifies what I want to do. I have alot of types with multiple elements. I need to take info from those types to calculate with. Then I want to filter out all types that don't fit and show the remaining types. I can simpelfy the left "hoogte" row by putting the hoogte in as an element of the type. I could make the columns into "type X hoogte Y" for example. Anyone know a clean and easy way to start on this? I would put everything in arrays. That way I could have easy access to all elements. problem with that would be filtering out whole columns and showing the remaining. A cluster in an array maybe? Edit: these are only a few types. It could go up into the 100.
