Front Panel Controls and Indicators in PDA and Touch Panel VIs (PDA Module, Touch Panel Module)
Use the front panel controls and indicators located on the Controls palette to build the user interface. Designing user interfaces for a PDA or Touch Panel VI is different than designing user interfaces for Windows VIs. In addition to some general design considerations, PDA and Touch Panel VIs do not support all types of controls and indicators. PDA and Touch Panel VIs support the following front panel controls and indicators differently than VIs you create for Windows:
- Array controls and indicators
- Boolean controls
- Charts
- Cluster controls and indicators
- Combo boxes
- Decorations
- Enumerated type controls
- Graphs
- Listboxes
- Numeric controls and indicators
- Path controls
- Picture controls
- Refnums
- String controls and indicators
- Tables
- Tab controls
- Tree controls
- Time stamp controls and indicators
- Variant controls
Native Controls
Most controls and indicators you can use in PDA and Touch Panel VIs are based on the native Windows Mobile and Windows CE built-in controls to save memory, so the controls might not look the same on the PDA or Touch Panel target as they do on the host computer. The following controls and indicators are native to Windows Mobile and Windows CE:
- Button
- Checkbox
- Enumerated
- Listbox
- Numeric
- Ring
- String and path
- Tab
- Table
