Vi Text Modification?

[jpo]

Hi

I am looking for some direction in how to modify the appearance of a
string indicator in my vi's front panel.  I would like to remove the
rectangular box that surrounds the text to make it appear as it is a
just regular text on the front panel.  The reason I want to do this is
that I would like be able to modify the text and its position
dynamically in the program.

Thanks
John

The answer to your question is in my answer to the original post. If
you right click on the board with the color tool, you'll see the box
in the lower left corner with two different colors. One is grey and
the other has a T in it? These are the foreground and background
colors of the border (I don't know which is which). The T box has a
white line around it. This is the one that's currently selected. If
you hit the space bar once, the white box disappears and you can apply
the selected color to both foreground and background. Hit the space
bar again, and the white box moves to the left around the grey. The
selected color will then apply only to that area.

For all except dialog controls/indicators, use the paintbrush on the
tools palette. Move the tool over the area you want to change and
right click. This will pop up a color palette. In LabVIEW 7, the
transparent color is in the upper right hand corner. For some borders,
you might also have to hit the space bar to select the correct area to
color. The little box in the lower left corner shows the existing
color and will be divided into two sections if there are that many
areas that can be colored. More information can be found in the
on-line help. In the index it can be found under Coloring fron panel
objects.

Just change the foreground and background colors of the indicator to
transparent.

With the brush tool, right click on the indicator.  In the pop-up, select T
for transparent.  If necessary, use the space bar to switch between
foreground and background to change both.
