Invisible controls

How do set controls appearing on the front panel to be invisible?

There are 2 methods depending on what you want.

1. You can find the controls terminal on the diagram, then right-click on the terminal and select "Hide Control"

2. You can programatically make controls visible and invisible by using the "Visible" property. Right click on the control and select Create>>Property node. You can then select the Visible property and wire trues and falses in as you want it to show up an disappear.

In your block diagram, right click the control and click "Hide Control".

Controls/ Indicators on the FP can be set visible/ invisible by its property node.

See attached VI 🙂

Right click on the control or terminal and select Create>Property Node. The default property node created is the Visible property. Right click on the property node and select Change to Write. Then, wire a false to it when you want it invisisble and a true to it when you want it visible. To view all of the possible properties, right click and select Properties. You can also make a control invisible from the front panel by right clicking and selecting Advanced>Hide Control. Of course, this makes the control invisible until you edit the program and if you need a permanent invisible control, are you sure you need a control at all?
