Add ability to change text color on the RT Debug String VI

Status: New

I frequently use the RT Debug String VI to add useful comments about the health of my application. Sometimes, I believe it would be nice to indicator error/danger conditions with a different color of text.


Do you feel it would be useful to have the ability to change the color of the string? If so, vote me up.

We can change the text color on our PharLap-based systems, but not our VxWorks-based systems; this is primarily because we have a VGA console for our PXI and RT Desktop based systems (whereas on VxWorks-based systems it's all serial-port console work) - look at what we've done with the menus for our USB keys.  It's possible we could provide an interface to provide colorized message prints (where available), that's something we'll have to investigate.  Thanks for the suggestion!
