changing he color of the front panel control programatically

[Robin Hood]

Hi,

        I want to change the colour of the control(Numeric control) on the front panel programatically.Like, if the value from the numeric control doesn't set on the specified instrument then the colour of the numeric should turn into "red" otherwise "green".How can I go about it?

Hi vipull,

you can use a property node to do it. See the attached example.

or....

use an "in-range" node to do the same work as the compares and And gate.
