Description:
This XControl has a configurable apperance, functioning as a boolean it can show a custom picture with a custom (formatted) text.

On initial drop of the XControl it will show a browse window to load a picture (png, jpeg or bmp) as view of the boolean.
After that the GUI configuration of the XControl is shown where the position of string an picture can be set amongst other things.

The XControl has 3 possible boolean behaviours:

-Switch when pressed
The boolean value will change as soon as the mouse is down on the XControl
-Switch when release
The boolean value will change as soon as the mouse goes up on the XControl, the button will react on the mouse-down
-Switch until released
The boolean value will be changed when the mouse goes down and reverts as the mouse goes up

For the developer it has the following advantages:
-Have a configurable boolean button with customizable interface and behaviour, all of the items can be controlled via VI-server

Instructions:
Unzip to a custom location.

Explore the possibilites with the included Demo.vi which is linked to the XControl in XControl\BooleanXControl_LCR.xctl

To reuse this XControl in mulitple projects install the OGP file with VIPM (http://www.jkisoft.com/vipm), after installation it will be located in:

user.lib\_LavaCR\UserInterface\XControls\BooleanXControl\BooleanXControl_LCR.xctl

You have to manually add it to your palette

Addons:
The zip includes a CreateIconVI.vi which will convert any given picture (preferably a 32x32 png) into a VI constant with the icon of the VI the same as the picture. This can be usefull to include some constant pictures inside code that is controlling the XControl
