I'm fairly new to LabView's capabilities outside of data acquisition. I did a little search, but it didn't really come up with anything.
I want to be able to change the status (hidden/visible, enabled/disabled, captions, labels) based upon some input.
Examples to this sort of behavior:
* Changing the color on a colorbox based upon some other value (e.g., green if x<5, yellow if 6<x<9, and red if x>9).
* After setting up configuration, once the program starts doing its thing, have the first step be to gray & disable the controls.
* While the program goes through a complex task, have a caption bar that indicates what step it's at (e.g., configuring, taking measurements, analyzing data, writing reports).
* Alter available options based upon previously selected information. For instance, you could opt to take a new set of measurements (which may have a button to initate the configuration routine), or you could opt to start from a measurement log (which would have a file path control).
I know how to do those sorts of things in something like VB, but not LabView.
Anyone help would be most appreciated.
(Oh, and I do have LV6.0 right now; I'm in the process of upgrading to 8.2, but that'll take a bit o time...)
