states to display in a string indicator

[BPBP]

Hello,

I have the state machine vi and i had created a indicator to display the current state on the front panel to show the state of the machine. However i do not wish it to be able to be activated when the user clicks on it. How do i do that? Also it comes with a decorative frame which i do not wish to display the frame. How do i remove the frame?

I was thinking of just display the state with a string indicator which will fix the 2 issues, however i'm not able to just wire it to a string indicator. Is this possible? Appreciate suggestions. Thanks.

If you are using an Enum, you can use the Format Into String VI.

And if you don't like the 3D frame of the string indicator either you can use the string indicator from the Classic controls palette or from the System controls palette. Or, you can customize the control.
