T in Color Box

[olsont]

I am trying to create a color box to indicate pass/fail in my test.  I have created the color box and checked the allow transparent, but when I set the color to transparent I get a "T" in the box and it is not transparent.  I am probably doing something wrong that is very simple, but I can figure how to make the color box transparent for use over my Text Indicator.

Any ideas?

Hi,

if you want your color box to be totally invisible, just hide it with a property node (visible => false) and show it with the color you want the rest of the time..
maybe you just can't make it transparent...

I can do this, but I want to be able to read the words in the Text Indicator when I set the color box.  I just can't make the color box transparent.

Instead of using a color box on top of your text indicator why don't you just change the background and/or foreground color of your text indicator?

I tried that, and at one time it worked but only to put the color around the border.  Now that doesn't work at all.  It stopped working when I put the color back to grey on the start of the program.  I'll go back to that method and see if I can figure out why those properties won't work.

Can you post your code so we can look at it?

Attached is the main code.  If you need  the associated VI's let me know.  Thanks, for the help.
