Programatically change text on FP? Caption on an invisible control? String indicator as heading?

Solved!
Go to solution

I have a nice decoration text on my front panel showing the program name and version in big bold letters. I quickly like to read this text from a ini-file instead but don't know how to present it nicely.

Actually I like to have  string indicator that does look like a heading and not a string indicator.

 

Since it is easy to change the caption of a control I tried this, but then I only like to see the caption, not the control.

 

I guess I can somehow change the string indicator so only the text is left.

 

Small question, and I feel quite stupid not knowing how to solve it...

Use a Classic string indicator.  Manually change it so the background and frame are transparent.  It will now look like a label.

 

Programmatically write new text to it as needed.
