To Create an Entirely New Front Panel

Creating a new Front Panel may be preferable when you want to make extensive changes.

To avoid conflict with the built-in Front Panel components, an entirely new Front Panel should use new names for the PANEL and other containers.

  1. Create the PANEL component for the new Front Panel. Give it a unique name:

    	PANEL front_panel_name
     	{
     	   …
     	}
  2. Create the new boxes and controls, using the new container names.

    If you want to use existing components, you must copy their definitions and change the CONTAINER_NAME value.

  3. Choose Restart Workspace Manager from the Workspace menu.
