This VI draws a circle around your mouse pointer.

 

MouseCircle.vi draws a little circle around your mouse pointer.  Mouse pointer style is determined by LabVIEW when the pointer is inside LabVIEW Window and it can be hard for audience to see where it is.  This VI emphasises where the pointer is to make your presentation more visible.Mr. Takaba, our customer, provided me with VI to utilize .NET NotifyIcon class so that now you have a little icon on your task tray.

Very Cool!

 

Wow!

This is a very good example you made.  By the way, where did you find the transperencies commands?  Again, very good!

Thanks

 

Thanks, JLM711.

I made the transparent VI by myself.  It calls Windows API function "SetLayeredWindowAttributes" to make certain color in a window transparent.
