Display the coordination of cursor on a picture indicator

[wilburwu]

Hello,

I use a picture indicator to show the results from a pressure measurement, because it is a 2D distribution.

I'd like to show the position of the cursor when it moves in. It should look like the tip strip but change dynamically according to the positions.

There're here two examples for the indicator.

Thanks for your answers!

 Few pointers:

1. Host your images with NI (here's a little how to), I don't need to see porn
2. Use the Code Capute tool to create screenshots from LabVIEW code
3. Show what you have done allready

Now ontopic:

use an event structure to get the Mouse Move event for the picture control, substract the controls position to get the actual coordinates inside the picture control.

Divide this coordinate by the 'square size' you use.

Use the Tipstrip property  to write the string containing the coordinates.

Hello Ton,

thanks for the tips for using the images in the forum

I've written an event similar as your advise.

But the problem is the Strip is not always shown (which is important for this indicator!). And there's hesitation before the strip is displayed.

I want the strip to be shown as in the slide. Once the mouse is in the picture, the strip is ALWAYS visible.

Thanks

Use the attached codesnippet inside your event structure:

 

You can hide the string control when the mouse leaves the picture.
