How to prgrammatically change the background color of a "number control" inside a cluster

Solved!
Go to solution

Hello,

 

using a property node it is possible to change the background color of a number control.

 

But how to do this, if this number control is located inside a cluster? I could not found the property of the background color (see attached vi).

 

Thanks a lot and best regads.

 

Michael

 

P.S.: I use a reference, because the color change should run inside a subvi.

Hi Michael,

insert a "to more specific" function and connect the numeric constant refnum to it. I modified your vi a bit.

See the attachment.

Hallo Michael,

 

you could also create a reference of that specific numeric by right-clicking it (the numeric, not the cluster) in the front panel -> create -> reference. 

Best regards,
