Control Parts
Each Control or Indicator in LabVIEW consists of parts. Parts are the individual elements which make up all controls within Front Panel of a VI.
Control editor allows viewing list of parts in a Control, and modifying their properties. Parts can also be browsed through Heap Peek, and using XML Heap storage format.
List of part ID's
Every control part contains a "part ID" field which determines its purpose and functionality in the control. For example, a digital numeric control contains two BigMultiCosmetic parts for the increment and decrement buttons; the part ID is what determines which one is which. The Parts Window in the control editor displays the part ID as the textual name for the part, though the actual number is only visible in Heap Peek.
