How can I desactivate the frame of an indicator? Thanks

[marc france]

Hi everyone,

 1) I don’t know how I can desactivate the frame of the indicator in the VI I have attached. I have set the background to transparent, but it still appears. Infact I would like it to appear exactly as the label on its right. How can I do this? 2) How can I set the position of on object like the arrow in the VI? For instance I would like the arrow to move from left to right every second. But I can’t find propriety node for those kind of graphic objects that would enable me to change the position of the arrow on the FP. Would anybody know? 3)  In the same VI I have also attached an indicator jauge made of 2 arrows that symbolises the position of a valve in a duct. I am not pleased with the way it looks, any idea how I can make the arrows thiner?  The best result for me would be to have just a bar that can change position between a horizontal, a vertical and intermediate positions. Thanks a lot for your tips, Best regrads, Marc XP & Labviw 8.5

Hi Autotec,

Thanks for answering.

Question 1 : could you tell me how you made the frame disappear?

Question 2: I will look in the forum then

Question 3 : This is a bit better it's true, but I would like to make the arrows flatter. If anybody has a solution..?

Regards,

Marc

To your Q1: here's a perfect explanation from Mads including video: https://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW/How-to-make-the-background-of-a-String-Control-Transparent/m-p/7888...

 Q2: get the decoration reference (see image) and play with it's properties. Problem is to know which reference belongs to which decoration...

Hope this helps,

Daniel

Hi,.....

          TO make the frame dissapear rather than using Modern control i used Classic control and right click on it select transparent.
