In Labview how can I change the mouse pointer when hovering over one of my boolean controls?

I have an interface with multiple tabs and a lot of controls. For most boolean controls I use a nice half transparent image. To better tell the user these booleans are clickable I want to change the pointer when hovering over any of these boolean buttons, not the others.

Is there a way to do this without having to individually select all the controls in the Event Structure? (there it takes some time to find all the boolean buttons from the list and to assign both the Mouse Enter and Mouse Leave events)

Solution

  • You can use 'Dynamic event registration', have look at this NI forum post that shows how to use this.

    Instead of the 'Static ref', you can also feed an array of references. Here's a specific code snippet: BooleanEvents Or a more generic example shown here (source) enter image description here
