Change Color Numeric Control Programmatically

[Kelsey_Weaver@NI]

Overview

This is a simple example where the color of a color numeric control changes according to the numeric value on a dial.

Description

This example makes use of an EVENT_COMMIT callback on a dial. We use the GetCtrlVal function to determine what value is stored in the dial. Using this and a simple 'if' statement, we use the MakeColor function to dictate what color will be displayed on the color numeric control. See the following resources for additional information:
