Changing colour of array background

[milan87]

Hello,

is there a way to change background color in array of string by using property node?

Thanks.

Array elements share all properties so there can only be one background color (which you can change. of course).

To change the background color for any specific cell individually, you can use a table indicator instead. 

(It sometimes helps to be more specific. Are you talking about a 1D, 2D array, etc. Are you talking about the text background or the container background (only really visible if you show the element gap) or something else?)

Thanks for feedback.

I meant 1D array, to change text background color with property node.

I made mistake by referencing on array instead of element (string).

And eventually, after that, property node offered option to change color of background of string.

Thanks

On the front panel, right-click on the array element.

Select: Create -> Property Node -> Text -> Text Colors -> BG Color

Did you Rube-Goldberg that as a gag?

Nope, matched their starting point, a reference to the object to be colored. So they can for instance make a SubVI that takes in the reference instead of doing it implicitly as you described.
