Hi,

 

1) In an array all elements share the same properties except for their value! So no, you can't color elements differently...

2) what are "states active/inactive"?

Best regards,

ok let me explain a bit better: i am aware that properties can not be changed for individual elements. i want to change the following property for all elements: the color of the font of an element is either black with white background (in the case it is active) or the font is grey with a grey backgound color (when still deactivated). is possible to change the color for either state?

hope i explained well

It is possible to change the color for true and false but as you wrote what you set for one gets set for all.

Hello labviewette,

 

if you mean the colors of the elements in a simple array constant in case active/inactive you cannot change the colors.

In active mode the text is always black with white background and in inactive mode it's both grey-white.

 

I hope I've understood you correctly.

 

Regards,

 

Stefan
