Custom Bool Control with Decorations

[EthanHenry]

Alright so I've been using these for quite some time but only recently realized I don't actually know how they were made.  I can't seem to track them down to a specific file, as they're usually just copy pasted across.  It's a Boolean Control that seems to be made up completely of decorations, but these decorations act as a single object.  When the state changes, the entire decoration object changes it's color.  It's not an image either, as you can right click->properties to change the color of true and false and it changes what the decorations object uses.  I've been able to somewhat replicate it by replacing the light part of a boolean control with a decoration, but I can't seem to make multiple decorations be counted as a single copy to import onto the control.  Any ideas what they did?

True:

False

This decoration is one piece, not made up with multiple parts.

It's from LabVIEW Datalogging and Supervisory Control Module.

Ok, then my question changes to how do you make a custom decoration?  Obviously this decoration is not in base LabVIEW (unless I'm absolutely blind) so it had to come from somewhere....

If you want to add multiple decorations to a control, you have to do it piece by piece.

The decorations in the attachment are built-in to LabVIEW, but not on the palette.

There's also this boolean which is built-in but not on the palette.

(Note that you can right-click on it and add segments.)

Wow well I stand corrected.... Good old LabVIEW... Thanks!
