Highlighting parts of front panel or front panel elements programmatically

[Datta119]

Hi!

I was wondering if I can highlight (or dim/blurr other portions) parts of front panel depending on some conditions being met. I have an event structure which handles exclusive events and front panel control and indicators corresponding to those events(exclusive events) are grouped together and distributed across in the front panel. Each event takes some time to execute and I wanted to know if the part of the front panel which corresponds to the event being executed can be highlighted.

I'm using LabVIEW 8.5. Thanks in advance.

Hello Datta,

I would like to suggest to you is, "Blink" property of boolean.

You just take square LED, make it transperant and apply it to at your front panel objects of your relevent section where you want to show process.

whenever your relevent process is beeing executed you have to enable its corresponding LED Blink property on front panel, and when it completes you can disable it programatically.

For your reference I have attached small example of your actual scenario.

Thanks. That helped me explore other properties of boolean indicator and will find a way soon enough.
