Numeric background color not working when using reference

[M. Bobby]

Hi,

I am trying to use a reference to change the background color of a numeric indicator in a sub-VI.  The sub-VI works to change a numeric indicator, but when I use a reference from another VI (Referenced Numeric.vi), instead of making the entire background the color I want, only the outline is the color I want, with the rest being white (the normal color).    Is there a way to avoid this?

You need to use NumericText.TextColors.BG property instead.
