Custom events for XControls ...

Status: Declined

National Instruments will not be implementing this idea. NI has no further plans to invest significantly in XControl technology.

It should be nice to be abble to add Custom events to Xcontrol ...

 

I know that it is already possible ... but in a not user friendly way !

 

I would like to be abble to add a custom event like adding a new property or a new method.

And this "Xcontrol user event" could be seen automaticaly in the "Add new event" of an event structure, when an instance of this XControl has been drop on a front panel.

 

So what i would like is ...

 

  • Adding a custom event to a Xcontrol, as a property
  • That this Event appears automatically in the event structure configurator. (Like events of standards controls and indicators)

 

My need is to add custom event different from "Value changed", in order to build powerfull XControl. 

And be abble to use these events without having to regiter them manually. (But like standards controls and indicators)

@ConnerP LabVIEW NXG is where NI is doing innovations for G user interfaces. LabVIEW NXG has several mechanisms, some already released, some still in development, for creating custom controls with much higher flexibility than the XControls.
