animated dots

[Blokk]

Hello Everyone!

I would like to make my project a bit more fancy, so I would like to make a little animation on the status string indicator.

Please see the attached subVI, I have also attached a main calling VI, so you can see how I want to use this. I would like to ask your opinion about my approach. Can I make it better? Also, I do not like the coercing red dot on the input of the subVI.

Thanks very much for advice!

Best Regards,

Hi,

Firstly to remove coercion dot.

Create a string reference control,copy and replace with ctl refnum in subvi and remove 'to variant' vi.

Second.. Use classic controls.

Thanks, no more coercing dot 🙂

I guess using classic controls in subVIs instead of modern controls make better downward compatibility? Is this the reason?
