Create an offline number pad

[pengxin]

Hi Everyone

Looking at the numeric control in the VI, we can press the button to increase or decrease the number without running the VI. Right now i want to create a new control, like a key pad with 0-9 and a delete button. Therefore i can key in numbers like 234531, 234, 12, 234 into a box and allow me to delete the number using the keypad(I do not have a keyboard or a touchpanel pop out number pad too).  Most importantly, i do not have to run the VI in order to do this.

Has anyone came across this ? Thank you

Cheers

You can do this creating an XControl, whenever you drop an XControl on a VI it will start running itself and you can react to the user events in a non-running VI.
