How to add a dial control to a vertical progress bar

[benm92]

I need to put a dial control on the bottom of a vertical progress bar and have the dial control the value the progress bar is showing. I can't find the option to add a dial to the bar. When I create a dial and try to connect it the data type is not the same so it's not connecting and I can't seem to find a way to change the data type of the progress bar to be the same as the dial which is set as a DBL.

You could create two controls and use an event structure for the value change of either updates the other control.

All you need is a single control with one terminal and no code at all.

Just customize your progress bar in the control editor and replace the digital display with a dial.

Have a look at this example (but read the entire thread and also these instructions). Works for controls or indicators, of course.
