Dynamically changing the color of nodes in a JTree

I have created a JTree and want to dynamically change the color of some of the TreeNodes as my program runs. The JTree is displayed in a JPanel. There is an algorithm built into which identifies the nodes whose color I need to change. No user actions is performed (everythign is internal to the program).
It seems that in the TreeCellRender only kicks in when the tree is first displayed. How do I get it to re-render the tree when the TreeModel changes? It seems that the Listeners are only looking for external user interactions.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

I think I was a bit too vague in my question. Let me try again...
I have changed an attribute in a node in a JTree. This attribute is changed after the tree was initially rendered, but while the program is still running. I want to tell the TreeCellRenderer to look again at this node since that attribute that was changed will effect how the node should be renderered. I tried using the nodeChanged() method, but it did not work (the colot of the node did not change). Any advise how I can do this?
Thanks!

Changing the color property node of an indicator based on a certain condition

An upper level VI sends a set of conditions to a VI that SHOULD change the color of the indicators based on a set of t/f cases. However, the color of the indicators is changing in the lower level VI but not in the VI that is doing the calling. I am not using an while loops, just case statements. Help?!

What you need to do is get a reference to the upper level VI control that you want to change to colour of. I have edited your VIs that you included to show how I passed the references to the controls into the subVI. The subVI can then change the colours, values, labels, etc. of the controls and changes are immediate.
Hope this is what you're looking for.

Dynamically setting the color of the title in a Panel

Hello, I know I can set the color & font of the title in a Panel using the titleStyleName in a stylesheet. How can I dynamically change the color though? I have a component:
<mx:Panel id="myPanel"borderColor="{this.color1}" />
where this.color1 is a value that changes dynamically, and thus changes the border color. How do I do this for the color of the text in the title?

Hi,
Try this
var css:CSSStyleDeclaration = StyleManager.getStyleDeclaration(".myPanelTitle");
css.setStyle("color",0x00FF00);

How can I change the color of plot in a waveform chart and graph?

There are 4 plots in a waveform chart, from plot0 to plot3, and I want to chang the color of plots dynamicly up to my needs when the VI is running.
For example, as show in the picture, i want to set the plot0 as RED, and plot1 is BLUE, plot2 is YELLOW, plot3 is GRAY.
If there is only one plot, i can change it's color, however when there are more than one plot, it fail.
How can I do it?
Thanks

Hello MilkyStone,
first you have to set the active plot, then change its color (or other properties). All that is done using property nodes.

How can i dynamically vary the color of one graph line

I was looking on the developer zone and noticed several people are looking for a way to change the color of one graph line. Simplest case I would like to know: a graph is running, then you press a button and from that point on the color of the graph changes, but doesnt change the old data line color. THis way the line will consist of different colors.
The property node changes the whole line, and the line is always just one color. It should be possible to make the line consist of different color sections, anyone know how?

The application is actually not as slow as it seemed, i had some settings set wrong (anti aliasing in plot, and some functions in advanced, when you right click on the graph)
Especially unchecking the anti-aliasing makes it much faster
Also, just plotting point and not a line, or alternatively, changing the interpolation makes it faster.
Anyway, the attached files do not rely on processor so much anymore, see for yourself

How Can I change the color in a 3d object?

Hello.
I have received a 3dPDF, on which several buildings are created in 3d. Is it possible afterwards to change the color of the buildings in Acrobat X Pro? Or do I need the plugin "Tetra4D"?
Thank you for your help.

You can change the color of model parts dynamically at runtime using JavaScript, but there is no way to change them within the embedded model itself.

How can i change the color of the graph in agreement of the program's condition

Hi,
I am using labview 5.1 in my graduation's project final. (sorry by my english, but i am ina hurry)
How can i change the color of the graph in agreement of the program's condition?
I am developing a VI to control the temperature of termistors,but i have another sensor too.
In a graph i have the situation of the termistors,but i want to change the color of the graph when the sensor is active.
Thanks a lot
Rafael Wajnsztajn - Brasil

To change the color of the line itself, you can use the attribute Plot>>Plot Color.
To change the color of the points, you can use the attribute Cursor>>Cursor Color.
To select the color, you should have a color box constant inside the Numeric>>Additional Numeric Constants palette.
This is all in LV 7.0. I'm not sure how it similar it is in 5.1.
One important thing is to place the attribute node inside a case structure which will execute only when your condition has been filled.
If this didn't help you, I suggest you post the relevant piece of code, or at least an image of it (no BMPs, please).

Assets panel styles, can i change the color of a style to be an exact color?

Assets panel > styles, can i change the color of a style
to be an exact color? for example, if i want to create a navbar
with the black and gray glass affect style, but i want to change
the color but keep the same style of shading. each style in the
assets panel has a default color, but i want to change the color
and keep the style. i did change the color a little bit by
adjusting the hue and saturation, but i can't seem to get an exact
match of the color i am trying to duplicate. any help is greatly
appreciated thanks

When a style is applied to any object, the Properties panel
at the bottom will reflect the attributes which are editable in
that applied style. The properties which can be edited are fill and
stroke colors also apart from adjusting the Hue and Saturation.
Gradient colors can be modified by changing the fill color.
The nodes in the gradient will change the color from blue to black
or any other intended color of change. If you know the color you
can either enter it as a 6 digit value or you can pick a color from
an existing object.
Hope it helps. Let me know I am missing you query
completely.

Dynamically changing the name of the .dll file to load in call Library

Our current model is to use dll files as "plug-in" modules for instruments and a top layer test step calls the appropriate driver dll.
For instance
the TestStep is called with the kenmore.dll passed as a parameter so the kenmore.dll file is loaded, the functions are registered and the functions are called. Next the TestStep is called with whirlpool.dll as a parameter now the whirlpool.dll is loaded the functions are registered and the functions are called. This works very well in our current CVI/LabWindows environment. Now we plan to work with LabView, we wish to retain this model (as DLL files, there are advantages in our model for us). We have not found a way to load these dll files from LabView without hard coding the path and filenames in.
Any suggestions on how to dynamically change the path in the Call Library module, or another suggested method of loading the dll via LabView?
Thanks,

As Ben has pointed out LabVIEW
scripting may be a possibility but you are going with that in highly
unsupported area. Also I happen to know that changing the library name
of a Call Library Node through scripting has produced unsupported
feature errors previous to LabVIEW 7.1 eventhough the method was there.
And LabVIEW 8 hides the whole scripting business behind the license
manager.
Another approach at least if the different DLLs do not change to often
thier functions and parameters would be to create a wrapper DLL. Have
it a method that loads the desired DLL and links its functions to
internal function pointers. Then when calling the actual function entry
points just redirect directly to the correct fucntion through that
function pointer. Since you are already working in CVI creating such a
DLL should be only a matter of taking out a little bit of your already
existing code and put it into a DLL project.

Is there a way to change the colors of multiple VI front panels?

Hi,
I am currently creating a LabView program controlling a lot of sensors and actuators. I have based the GUI on a tab-control with different buttons which again opens up different VI front panels in a singel sub panel below. I realy want to have a different color theme on my program than the standard gray LabView theme, but I would like to change the colors for all my VIs in a smooth and quick way. I really would not like to click on all controls, indicators etc. to get new colors, as there are a lot of them! Any ideas out there, if this is possible?
Thanks in advance!
Lars

Lars,
please note that using the grayscale theme is recommended not only by NI. Using color is very delicate thing since you have to consider:
- readability of text might suffer due to insufficient contrast
- overuse of (signaling) color might distract the user from important settings/information
- color-blind user?
That being said, you can color the frontpanels of the VIs you include in the sub panel dynamically. Please take a look into attached example on how this could be done (LV 2009).
Please note that this is recoloring the frontpanel background only. If you need other elements to recolor as well, this can be done similar but is more effort....
hope this helps,
Norbert

Can I change the color properties of an indicator in a cluster?

I have a cluster that has three boolean indicators in it. I would like to have an initial state (color) they are in at the beginning of my test. Is there a way to set color properties of a boolean indicator that is inside a cluster? Thanks in advance for any help.
Troy
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi Troy,
I just created a simple application in which I can change the color of one of my boolean indicators on the fly. You'll find it attached to this message.
It's quite simple to do:
When you've created both clusters in the front panel, right click on the indicator you want to change the color of.
Select the option "Create"
And than select the option "Property Node"
Now you can ad whatever property to the boolean indicator you want.
Hope this will help you any further with your program!
Best regards,

How to programatically (dynamically) change the chart legend ?

How do I add new labels/symbols to the chart legend dynamically ?
I'm creating a scatter graph using the query
select A,B,C from tableX group by A
B is the y-axis, C is the x-axis. Points plotted for each grouping of A will be a different color. I know I can change the color of the point to be plotted thru the format trigger. The format trigger will change the color of the plotted points when there is a change in the grouping of A. My problem is how can I add a new label/color to the legend for each grouping of A as it is plotted ? The number of groupings of A is variable depending on what's in tableX. I need to programatically create the legend (each grouping of A will have it's own label/color) thru the format trigger as I won't know before hand how many groupings of A there will be.

Try with Presentation variables.
