Did you mean: 

can you change the vi color background using a property node?

Solved!

I was wondering if it was possible in Labview to use a property node to change the front panel background color for one iteration and then back to an original color afterwards. I dont think it is possible but would like to know for sure.

 

Thanks,

Yes you can

 That's how you change it, you will just have to put some logic to change it back

You can get the Pane Property Node directly by right-clicking on the scroll-bar on the Front Panel and Create->Property Node->Pane Color.  Useful with multiple Panes.  You can also Right-Click the Pane Property Node in for(imstuck)'s example and choose Link To and then select the Pane.

Ive tried both methods and get this (broken run arrow):

 

Property Node 'Property Node': Node not supported in current target.

 

Thanks,

Update: I got it to work, however, i am using mobile module to program a project, and it doesnt seem to work correctly with mobile applications. However, it works fine on a normal VI. Thanks for your help!
