Changing colors of a diabled and blinking indicator/led??

hello,

 

i have a few things that are disabled and or set to blink through their properity nodes,

 

only problem is that i seem to have no control over what colors they change to when they are disabled or blinking.

 

i have a green start button, when you press it, it starts to blink. but it blinks yellow and green! i want green and dark green..

i have an indicator that disables and greys when the "lock control" button is pressed. its against a dark grey background and when it greys out you can see the outline of the indicator (very ugly!!)

 

please help

HI codemonger,

 

the blink color is globally set in the LV options: Environment->colors...

 

When you "disable and gray out" a control, it exactly does that: it disables and grays out... What else do you expect here?

Best regards,
GerdW

When u use the blinker property its fixed to blink 1X a second. The colors are set by the controls property (but you probably already know this).

 

I prefer to blink the control myself using color constant box (its a constant so you can see the color (not number) on the block diagram. Take a look at the BD below for a stop button I blink 3X a second.

 

I keep a copy of the original colors so I can set it back to normal when my app is done. The have setting for 4 different values, true, false, t to f and f to t....
