Hi,
I am using the grey-out option for all controls on a front panel. The problem is that the grey is the wrong grey, around each control appears a light grey box. The boxes highlight the layout of the front panel and make it look a mess. Is there any way i can correct the colour so that no box appears i.e. only the control is grayed out.

Tom-
I couldn't re-create your problem, but my guess is that it is one of two possibilites:
1.) Your display adapter is set to 256 or less colors and the background color doesn't match the control colors.
2.) You need to set the background color on the controls to transparent.
Hope that helps....

I see what you mean!
Change the grey of the front panel slightly to:
Hue 160, Sat 0, Lum 177, Red 188, Green 188, Blue 188
Or alternatively place the controls on a Raised box in decorations.
If you want colours though, you may have problems!

Do the "boxes" go away when you run the VI?

This grey out color uses the background color of the front panel. If you
want to change it you will have to adjust the BG color of your front panel
to the grey out color you need. If this screws up other colors then you
need to use big decoration behind everything to set the color you need
behind all your controls.

How are you choosing to grey it out? Are you disabling the controls, making them invisible, etc? Are you doing this at run-time or during development?

The indicators are greyed-out using the indicators properties -> disabled = 2. The problem is in the run time environment.

I have included an example (in LV 6.0) to illustrate my answer above.

I've set up a similar program, and it seems to run fine. I don't see any boxes around the controls. Could you attach an example so that I could try it on my own machine?

Tom,
It just occurred to me that there is another option that you should consider, as it appears that you may have a hardware compatability issue, or software issue that cannot be solved.
A workaround is to disable using mode 1, and simultaneously change the control colors to those that you wish. This will cancel out any problems you are having and allow you to completely customize the disabled appearance. The disabled and greyed option was put in for convenience (I have to believe) to allow a simple method for changing the appearance of the control when disabled. As you situation demands a different solution, you will have to customize the appearance, and use the Disabled option.
Good luck.
