Slide indicator

[Luci_UFRJ]

I'm trying to use a slide indicator that should work like this: considering a range of 100, if the value is less or equal 20 , for example, the fill color should be green, if the value is between 20 and 40, so, the fill color should be green up to 20 and yellow from 20 to 40 and so on. I tried to use the active slide property but I didin't get the effect I want. Anyone has an idea how to do this?

Thank you in advance!

Hi Luci_UFRJ,

you can use the "FillColor" property to set the color.

Hope it helps.

But the fill property will change the color of the hole fill and not of segments.

Hi Luci_UFRJ,

yes it´s correct, but you can add additional sliders with different colors.

See the attached example.

Hope it helps.

Mike

You need to layer sliders on top of each other, like this...

Beat to the punch!

Here is a better version of that VI

Here's the same with slightly less code. 🙂

And even less code. Ideally, you would wrap all this into an Xcontrol.

I like this last solution with the event structure, you should adopt it instead of mine.  There are fewer property nodes, it is more scalable and easier to read.
