Any way to Group Controls and Indicators on Front Panel so that they can be made Visible or Not as a Group?

Solved!
Go to solution

I would like to group several Controls and Indicators on the Front Panel in a Group in such a way that allows me to make the entire group Visible or Not.

 

I have tried using a Cluster, but it has a side effect that all of the Items inside must either be Controls or Indicators, but not mixed.

 

Is there any graphical element, like a Panel that can hold other Controls and Indicators inside and make them Visible or Not as a group without regard as to whether they are Controls or Indicators?

 

Any good suggestions on how to do this?

 

Thanks.

The Tab control doesn't always have my favorite appearance, but it is a quick and effective way to show and hide groups of controls and indicators.

I don't know of any way of doing this other than creating an array of references to the controls that you want to work with and feeding that array of references into an auto-indexing For Loop where you set the Visible Property node.

You can make the tab control transparent and not display the tabs - this way you can't see that you are using a tab control at all
