I am new user and am using LB 8.5. I have two buttons on my front panel that I want to disable and prevent the user from changing during certain situations, but I also need the output of the button to remain in the same status until the situation has been cleared - if the first button boolean output is one, and the second is zero, the user must not be able to change either one until the output of the external device has dropped to zero. I am not familiar enough with loops, so if necessary, please point me to the proper example/tutorial. Thanks

You can post your VI by clicking on the browse button at the bottom of the reply window and select the VI you want to post. If your VI is too big or complicated, make a small version of the VI of just the part that is giving you a problem. By the error you describe, it sounds like you are wiring the boolean button to the disabled property node?????? Attached is a simple VI that shows what you are asking to do.Message Edited by Ravens Fan on 10-01-2007 03:55 PM

programmatically disabling a front panel button

Solved!

Hello,

This question is similar to the one above. I have an application that has 10 tabs with roughly 10 buttons on each tab. What I am trying to do is disable buttons, tabs, or vi application when another test is being performed. Is there a way other than creating a property node and disabling for every button?

Thanks in advance!

Also, Look at subdividing your task into separate vi's I am sure that those tabs are likely better implemented as different VI's in Sub Panels
