Access a sepcific Array Element

[Amir_Y]

Every array has a property node for "Array Element".

It is referring to a general element in the array (and actually applies to all elements).

It could be nice to have this "Array Element" property for a specific element. "Active Element" property can be added for that (similar to "Active Plot" in XY Graph).

The usage I was thinking is about is getting the position of an element or setting its background color (after casting its reference to a string class). But there is much more to it than these simple examples.

This request is impossible to ever support without massively increasing the memory and performance requirements of the array control in a way that LV does not find acceptable.

There is only a single control for drawing all visible elements of the array. We do not create N separate controls for the N elements of the array, thus there is no separate background color that is definable. Instantiating N separate controls every time a new value for the array is set would be unacceptable in terms of performance and memory. The only parts of a control within an array that vary in appearance are those controlled directly by the element value. This is a concious and deliberate design limitation of the array control.
