Change color on a control

[Mannby]

Hello Everybody,

I'm new to this and my question is like this:

I want to change the background color on a control between two colors depending

if a value is greater then a set value. In this case the backround should change from white to red

on a RPM meter when the RPM is greater then the RPM limit.

I found out how to set the color using the property for the control but I can't figure out how to change

between the two colors using a comperisson function.

Thanks in advance!

Regards

Roger

Please see the attached vi, I believe that it will accomplish what you are after.  Please let me know if either it does not work or you have any questions.

Thanks for your help!

Unfurtunally I couldn't open the example because I'm running version 8.0. I'm not

sure if it's possible to convert it to an older version or not.

Here's a screenshot of the code, you should be able to implement it.
