Pre-release

I didn't fix any bugs.
This release is only a maintenance release to test and avoid name collisions with QControls library.
This release has been updated to LabVIEW 2013 for long term maintenance.

Author:François Normandin

LabVIEW Versions:
Created and tested with LabVIEW 2012

Dependencies:
UI Tools >= 1.3.0.70
jki_lib_state_machine >= 2.0.0
OpenG Application Control Library >= 4.1.0.7
OpenG Array Library >= 4.1.1.14
OpenG Error Library >= 4.2.0.23
OpenG File Library >= 4.2.0.21
OpenG LabVIEW Data Library >= 4.1.0.12

BitMan - Bitmap Manipulation Library >= 1.0.1.0

Description:
This package contains a class to quickly create controls programmatically based on templates.

Instructions:
After installing package with VIPM, refresh palettes if VIPM is not set to refresh automatically.
Use palettes.
On LabVIEW restart, a Tools Menu shortcut gives access to a Control Generator GUI (Tools >> UI Tools >> Control Generator)

Known Issues:
The control creator provided under "Tools" menu is not yet complete:

  • It doesn't batch process controls yet.
  • The "pure white" (xFFFFFF) is drawn as black (use FEFEFE instead... that's close, and I really don't know why!)

Acknowledgements:
Wojciech Golebiowski for his BitMan library (Bitmap Manipulation).

History:
v1.4.0: Removed a self-conflicting dependency on new installation
v1.3.0: Renamed package and moved templates to vi.lib to remove the need to rely on system files (outside of LabVIEW folder structure).
