borderless array - gui problem

[pawhan11]

Hello

I have array of strings

I want to remove gray spaces between each element ( shown by arrows ) but I can't. I want to make them transparent but i can't

Do You have any idea how to do that?

Thanks in advice.

Use the array and 'Simple String' from the classic pallet, then paint it white with the paintbrush tool.

Just a thought, are the lines you seeing the edges of the string control, or did you make the borders transparent and it is the default gray background of the array structure showing through?

You need to attach your VI, because an image is not sufficient.

• If the strings are system strings, you cannot change the color or outline.
• If they are regular string controls, you can change the color and outline to transparent.
• You still might have to change the background color of the array container. (as mike mentioned)

Maybe you should use a listbox to display your data. it is more compact overall.

Thanks for help. With one string controll it works ok. Now I have array of clusters with 2 string controlls inside cluster and I want to make this frames disappear ( vi attached )

This will be used to display messages  so that user can scroll and see all messages. With listbox i will have to write bold property on every secound row to make it bold ( like in attachment).

Do You have any Ideas??

Just like having a no border array you can have a no border cluster.  Attached is a transparent cluster, array, and string, then a control that combines all of them into an array of cluster, with two strings.

Same story. Simply color the frames transparent.

It is actually not clear to me if you want them white or transparent. Here's it as transparent and white. You should still go into the control editor and make the borders disappear completely to keep the same line spacing.

Also remember that all this would be significantly easier and cleaner with this idea implemented. 😄
