Hi balaji,

I don't think you can make vi transparent and keep control on it visible. It will have same transparency as Vi front panel.

Balaji,

if your UI only contains a single control, you can manage to achieve something near your request.

Please note that from style guide, it is not suggested to create UIs in such a way. An application should have dedicated dialogs/interfaces and not a "random number of controls popping up from time to time somewhere on the screen".

Please see attached VI for a possible solution (observe the VI Settings >> Window Appearance for further hints).

hope this helps,

Norbert

Thanks,

                   you said right, i did the same for Graph thats looks good. actually i making a software which i can able to design my front panel where i can choose numeric, boolean, gauge, meter indicators and graph, also i can select the channel for each controls. i made a template of all the above controls and using vi server i can call the vi.

if possible to make a transparent back ground then my software looks very effective one.
