Change a property of a specifc array element (array of type defs)

[DFWyatt]

If I have an array of elements, and I want to change aproperty of one specific element, at position X, is there a way to do this?

Basically, I have an array of string indicators indicating certain tests attached to certain ports, and I want to change the text to bold on certain indicators, and i want to color certain indicators green or red.  Any chance in an array or clusters only? 

Thanks Guys.

Nope, not in an array, your suspicions are correct.

While you can't change the properties for a single array element, there are solutions.

For the background color, you can turn the array element into a cluster of your string (which would be transparent) and a color box which will be the background. You can then change the value of the color box and the color will change.

For the bold text, I think your only option will be to get rid of the string control and make the array element a picture control instead. Using the picture VIs, you can draw a colored rectangle and then place text inside it (and each element can have different text properties). That way, you won't even need the color box.
