Dynamically Changing a Control's Property

[Anonymous]

I have a button whose text I would like to constantly change based on
whether or not other buttons are pressed/depressed.

So I wired up all the conditional buttons to a couple of nested AND
vis. Now I have the output
of a single AND that has TRUE (yes change the text of that other
button) or FALSE (leave that other button text alone).

I also created a property node for the button whose caption I want to
change.

My question is, how do I connect these together. The property Caption
takes in a string, which would be fine, I could
create a constant string equal to the new text, but how would that
connect to my boolean operator?

BTW, is there a n-input and gate available?

Use the Select node found on the Comparison palette.

>> BTW, is there a n-input and gate available?

Yes there is. Look on the Boolean palette. It's called Compound Arithmetic.

Hi,

Here is an example of what you can do. Try it out. I hope it works for. For an n-input and gate, you can have a boolean array and use the and array elements to and all the elements in the array. The array can have n-elements.

Hope that helps,

Tim

Case Structure.

Look at below.  The false case as nothing in it since you said you don't want to change the caption if the first button is false
