Multiple controls in 1 control

[yenknip]

In the Open G tookits, there is a control of a directional pad. Dropping this one control on the FP actually drops 4 seperate controls - how is this done? I'd like to create a control that drops the error in and error out widgets in one mouse gesture rather than 2

That's actually just a VI. It resides in the user.lib\_OpenG.lib\3d_dir_buttons\3d_dir_buttons.llb folder. You can do the same by simply creating a VI with your error clusters on it, and place the VI on the palette. You can go farther and put some code in the VI and then place it on the block diagram palette with the "Merge" option set. This way you can drag it onto your block diagram and have a starting code structure. More info can be found in the LabVIEW Help.

I feel silly now for not checking openG.llb
