How to set properties of control references when I get them from "Controls []" property

[Hepcat]

If I create a reference to an indicator, I can set every property I need to.  I'm trying to duplicate what I did on a single boolean indicator on 20 of them.  I used This VI, to Pane, to Controls[]  The references aren't useful at all.  I tried casting them to more specific class (Boolean) but that doesn't work either.  How can I get an array of references that will work the same as ones I create by right clicking?

You probably have not cast it to a class that was specific enough.  Which properties are you trying to set?

Attach a VI with the controls and what you have so far.

Turn on scripting (if you havent already) and traverse the FP for all Booleans then test for them being not indicators
