Overview

This example demonstrates how to set the background image of a Front Panel programmatically through VI Server.

Description

This example uses VI Server to programmatically set the background of a Front Panel to an image loaded from disk.

It converts a VI's file path to a reference to the VI using Open VI Reference. The reference to the VI enables you to access the panel of the VI. The panel itself provides programmatically access to all panes. The pane offers a BackgroundImage property node. The example loads an image and populates the image to the BackgroundImage property node.

 

Requirements

 Software

• LabVIEW Base Development System 2012 (or compatible)

 Hardware

• No hardware is necessary to use this example VI

Steps to Implement or Execute Code

1. Download and open the attached ZIP-file
2. Open the [Main] ...VI and follow the instructions on the Front Panel

Additional Information or References

If you would like to apply the image to the background of the current VI's front panel, replace Open VI Reference with VI Server Reference available in the Application Control palette.
