Batch Create Custom Interface Palette

[sqmurray]

Hi All,

I'm looking for a way to meet a company color & UI look an feel in Labview controls & indicators. Is there a way to do this in batch or bulk? For example edit the silver control and indicators to be flat(no shading), all use a specific font, & have matching color scheme. I'm new to labview so it may be that I dont know the correct terminology to search for what I'm looking for.

Thank you

Vi scripting will allow you to open references to vis, and replace any silver controls with system controls and edit colors text font and size.  This is not for a new user!  This is for someone with mature knowledge of LabVIEW who has had advanced training and experience.

I publish the only known utility for interactively batch editing VIs using VI Scripts or QuickDrop scripts.  Links are provided to download over 100 sample scripts from NI which you can modify to suite your needs.  I just published my user group presentation on how to do it.

A 30 day unrestricted trail will allow to make all the changes you describe in record time.

I believe the OP is asking whether there is way to automate Customizing Controls, and creating a palette of Company controls.

I do not know whether this is possible via scripting, I do know customizing controls is a painful process.

These Control sets are BSD/attribute licenses, so may be applicable for your needs.

1. JKI has flat controls -available from VIPM
2. drjpowell has flat controls - available from VIPM
3. DMC has flat controls - available from their website

You can try those out to see if they meet a "I don't want this program to look like LabVIEW criteria." 😉
