Issue Details

I want to design a custom control which can be toggled between control and indicator in runtime. How can I do this?

Solution

LabVIEW enables developers to create user-defined controls from existing LabVIEW controls. These custom controls are called XControls. With this feature, you can combine the basic functionality of LabVIEW controls with additional functionality you develop.

For more information on this, refer to the tutorial Creating New Front Panel Objects with LabVIEW XControls .
You could also refer to the LabVIEW Help for XControls for more information and examples on this.
