I have a VI that contains a GIF on a panel and I use object properties to make visible/invisible multiple lines/arrows on the panel so that it illustrates a different data path that the traffic takes based on some user selections. This is all done by just getting a handle on the panel reference and accessing via a for loop.
This works fine, but the problem is that every time I add/delete a decoration on the panel, it changes the index of all the decorations on that page. Right now, to figure out the index for a specific decoration, I use a loop with a timer and change the color of the decoration, so that they light up in order and I have an indicator for the index. This is very time consuming and I feel like there has to be a better way.
TLDR - Is there a way to know what the index of a specific decoration is on a panel within the front panel (i.e., right click on a decoration and it identifies it for you)??
