How to toggle the colors of a button (3 colors)?

Hi,
I need to simulate a traffic light, so I was wondering what approach I should take to have the same button be able to switch 3 different states (red/yellow/green)? I really have no idea how to approach this, what controls should I use in labview to accomplish this?

Boolean LED indicators (which give the best appearance) have only 2 standard states (T/F) of which you can have each state be any color. But when you need 3 colors, you have to use property nodes.
If you can keep all your property nodes and the actual booleon LED Indicator (they reference) on the same VI, then its much easier. If you need to get the G/Y/R info from a subvi, you have to use RefNums to pass properties (vs. just property nodes).
I'm attaching a neat VI which I use for a few applications needing 3-colored LEDs. Basically, I convert 3 mutually exclusive boolean inputs into a boolean number (000 to 111) and let the numbers (1 or 2 or 4) feed a case of the 3 numbers. Each case has the property node of the LED with a chosen color.
If you need ve
rsion 5, let me know.
Good Luck with it, Doug

  • How to change the color of SAP screen?

    Hi Frens,
    I know it has nothing to do with SD Community, but still I am asking. Can anyone tell me "How to change the color of SAP screen?" It is needed especially when you are working on System Landscape including PRD, Qua & Dev. There are chances that you end up making a test case in PRD instead of Dev or Qua. To avoid that, different color of SAP screen may be very useful and safe.

    We had a clone of SAP for testing
    Only GUIXT solution was available for users to distinguish between real Prod & Clone as SID was same
    Created 2 scripts n C:\guixt\scripts
    saplsmtr_navigation.e0100.txt
    Esession.txt
    BOTH having identical code
    if V[_ashost=10.3.3.18]
      TitlePrefix "CLONE18"
      TitleSuffix "(CLONE8)"
    endif
    if V[_ashost=10.3.3.25]
      TitlePrefix "PROD25"
      TitleSuffix "(PROD25)"
    endif
    After much research - this was only solution.
    GUIXT will be around; like SAPSCRIPT & SMARTFORMS
    despite the enticement of Adobe Forms!
    After some time you may set GUIXT profile start window HIDDEN
    This you do by clicking profile button of GUIXT menu
    If you want to see GUIXT Window again
    CMD.exe Dos prompt
    cd C:\Program Files\SAP\FrontEnd\SAPgui

    Drag your generator to the timeline. Select int. Look at the Inspector, in the top right corner (if the inspector is not open, you can use Cmd-4 to open it). At the top of the inspector, you have three buttons: "Generator", "Video", and "Info". Click on "Generator" and you get a drop down menu allowing you to choose one of six colors.
    If none of these six serves you well, you can then click on "Video", and use the Color tools to set it to anything you want.
    Thanks Luis for your detailed explanation ... it worked !

  • Toggle the image on a button

    Hi,
    I want to be able to change the image that is displayed on a button, depending on a setting in a database.
    I have seen Denes Kubicek example of toggling an image itself, but can't see how to apply that to a button.
    I need it to be a button as I have a process that runs after the button has been pressed.
    Thanks
    Simon

    Simon,
    Here, you will find an example on how to toggle the image (button) and invoke a process:

  • How to change the color for HTML words in JEditorPane?

    Hi Sir,
    In the JTextPane , we could change the word's color by using:
    Style style = doc.addStyle("test",null);
    StyleConstants.setForeground(style, Color.red);
    doc.setCharacterAttributes(10,20,syle,true);
    we can change the text into red color,which range is from 10 to 30.
    But how to change the color for HTML words in JEditorPane?

    Hi,
    you can use an AttributeSet to apply the foreground color. Let's say, doc is a HTMLDocument, then SimpleAttributeSet set = new SimpleAttributeSet();
    doc.getStyleSheet().addCSSAttribute(set, CSS.Attribute.COLOR, "#0D0D0D"); would apply a color to a given AttributeSet. The AttributeSet with your color then can be applied to a selected range of text in a JEditorPane by   /**
       * set the attributes for a given editor. If a range of
       * text is selected, the attributes are applied to the selection.
       * If nothing is selected, the input attributes of the given
       * editor are set thus applying the given attributes to future
       * inputs.
       * @param editor  the editor pane to apply the attributes to
       * @param a  the set of attributes to apply
      public void applyAttributes(JEditorPane editor, AttributeSet a) {
        ((HTMLDocument) editor.getDocument()).getStyleSheet().addCSSAttribute(set, CSS.Attribute.COLOR, "#0D0D0D");
        editor.requestFocus();
        int start = editor.getSelectionStart();
        int end = editor.getSelectionEnd();
        if(end != start) {
          doc.setCharacterAttributes(start, end - start, a, false);
        else {

    Hi ,
    Is there any way to change the color of the text field of the form........
    Thnx in advance .......
    Cheers,
    Eman

    Hi Bob. I'm new to these forums and I'm not sure of protocol and exactly how this is supposed to work, so If I'm doing this wrong then please excuse me and let me know.
    I liked you solution on 'How to change the color of an Item on a form' using <blink>.
    I'm new to this application and coding as well so its kind of foreign to me.
    Working on a Report Page,
    I would like to have item, :P1_JOB_NO blink when the difference between sysdate and :P1_DATE_DUE < 7 days.
    I can identify the job_no which should blink by using the sql statement:
    SQL> select job_no from oax_projects07 where
    2 (sysdate - date_due < 7) and
    3 emp_name = 'GARY PILKENTON';
    JOB_NO
    20060627 050
    But I dont know the proper syntax to make it blink,
    or when to plug the syntax into.
    ie, is it a process, a validation, etc.
    Do you have any advice for me?

  • How to hide the Print and Export button in analytics report or tasks pane

    Hi Experts,
    In BIEE 11g,
    How to hide the Print and Export button in analytics report or tasks pane ?
    For example:
    In console,I have created one userA which is belong to BIConsumer GROUP , when I make use of the highest user 'weblogic' to create one simple report, then the userA will login the analytivs to view this report (not dashboard), it will show the print and export as below.So customers do not want to give him the privilege for printing and exporting.
    In addtion, go to catalog->tasks(left corner), it will also show the print and export button. So how to hide or not access these button?
    Note: Maybe it can use the policy for consumer role for implementing this requirement, but I do not know how to modify the policy. Are you facing the problem? Thanks.

    Hi,
    1. Create seperate folder for Reports & Dashobard.
    2. For BI_Consumer (userA) set the catalog permission to view Dashboard Folder only and remove permission on the Report Folder (you can give traverse permission but don't give Open permision).
    3. By this user won't be able to open or run any reports in that folder and the only way he can see the reports is through Dashboard and on dashboard the export and print buttone can be removed very easily.
    Mark helpful if it helps.

    what are you asking here?

  • May I know how to change the color of texts inside the indicator box?

    Can anyone tell me how to change the color of texts inside the indicator box? I have tried to use property node but not really know how it functions.
    In fact, I am writing a program for which the number inside indicator on front panel will show red color if the measured value can't reach the requirement. I am using LabView 6.1 Professional
    Thank You for your attention!!!!!!

    Simply use a property node with "NumText.TextColor" and wire the correct color depending on your test result.
    The attached simple example (LV 6.1) lets you change it from the front panel. In your case, you would use your test output instead of a FP switch, of course. Message Edited by altenbach on 05-25-2005 09:05 PM
