This VI shows how to change the color of a VI front panel programmatically. This feature is introduced in LabVIEW 6.0.

Run the VI and click the color box to change the front panel color.

A vertical smooth box is behind the color box for contrast from the rest of the front panel. Create the color box control by right-clicking the color box constant and selecting Creat » Control.

The Property Node, left unwired by default, references to the current VI. The front panel is a read-only object with properties in the Generi » GObject class. Right-click Color, the bottom half of the Property Node, to display the Help For Color and other front panel properties.
