Here is a ring control that I created a while back for my subvi fixer

And here's a link to one of my Weekly Nuggets on the NI Discussion Forums where I talk about customizing the connector pane of new VIs in LabVIEW 8.0 and later. It also includes a VI that returns the proper 4-digit connector pane ID given a specific pattern.

Of course, I should have known that just because I haven't see it, doesn't mean is not everywhere :-D.

What would be really great is a way to set a customised pattern in a VI, instead the predefined ones. For example, defining hot zones in a 32x32 square. As far as I know, only Xnodes can do that, but they are pretty complex for just something like that :-(

Awesome little nuggets, and with replies, controls, a graphic of the patterns.

Thanks guys, more reason to stick to LAVA!

Now, the connector order for each pattern (which one is the 0, the 1, etc) is pretty chaotic. Sometimes it starts from bottom-right, some from top-left... Is a mess when you are connecting dinamically created VIs

I've also created vis that figure this numbering system out in the Subvi Fixer

Base on the position the index is placed in a cluster that represents the pattern.
