Right click on a scrollbar and pick properties.  You can change the background of the pane.

I don't know what a "qns" is.

What do you mean by put your "description inside a combo box"?

To change the background color you would shift-right-click (to get the tools palette), pick the paint brush, and click on the background (same as you would color any other object.

To make a specific control value the default, you enter the value first, then right-click the control...data operation...make current value default. Save the VI.

What does that mean?  What are you trying to do and what are you expecting to happen?

I mean after i select my SMS content and number and i press send. After sending it will return to my default value.

Create property node for the same control and at the end of your case, write default(whatever value) you want.

There are plenty of properties. You probably mean a value property.

It is typically more efficient to use a local variable instead of a value property.
