Front Panel items to disappear when not selected

Thank you all for your inputs! I definitely would like to get better at Labview, but this is only my 3rd week trying to teach myself by trial and error. Does anyone know of a good place where info is compiled for new people? Kind of like "things you should know" or something.

 

So after reading all the comments, I created this that does the trick:

Thank you very much again for pointing me in the right direction. At first I did not really understand what you guys were trying to explain but messing around with things helped clarify it.

Hi Guy,

 

when all you do with "350 2" is to set true then you don't need to do that every time you go into that case: once before would be enough...

 

When you set groups of items (in) visible then you should think about using clusters.

When you use several clusters of the same kind you should type define them - and additionally explore the options of arrays of clusters...

Best regards,
GerdW

Thank you GerdW for that info. I will look into those. I am not familiar with them so I will try to figure out how to set those up. If you have any tips, I'd appreciate any help.

Since you clearly handle 3 distinct groups of indicators, i'd recommend placing each group in a cluster. That way you only need 1 property node for each cluster and it often helps with grouping information on the front panel.
