Hey everybody,
My application consists (as the title suggests) of a computer running 4 touchscreen monitors. Three of the monitors will be completely different, but the 4th will need to be a combination of the other 3. The 4th is bigger, so it will actually fit all of the front panel from monitor 1.
Here is a depiction of what the setup will be.
The hard part is that I need Monitor 4 to act exactly like the other monitors in its respective sections. It would be nice to be able to do this without duplicating code or having to send my data to multiple places every time. Do any of you have experience in UI duplication, or know of a clever way to do this?
What I'm thinking I'll have to do is create a new interface for the 4th monitor that triggers the other user interfaces and vice versa. The downside is that it takes extra development on top of the UIs I already have and if I change something with the first 3 UI, I have to go in and change the 4th manually. I would also have to do some fancy global event triggering LIKE THIS in order to communicate between two different VIs.
Any help is highly appreciated.
Thank you!
