How can I make the boolean text visiable all the time when the button blinking?

[keiran]

In my project, I set a boolean button's property as blink,and when the program is running,the button blinked as expected But when the button blinking, the boolean text is blinking too(sometimes visiable, sometimes invisiable).

what i want is making the boolean text on the botton always visiable, anyone can give me a way to achieve this aim? thanks!

The problem is due to LV : the text color is changed to blink color during blinking. You can see this in releasing the text (right click), mooving it on the side of the button. I didn't find any way of changing this behaviour.
So, the simplest thing is to write the boolean text as an independent sting, and lay it over the blinking button.

Hi Keiran!

Also, another option you have is to change the background color of the boolean text. Right click on the property node for the LED and select Properties->Boolean Text->Text Colors->BG Color. Just like the blinking color is yellow (and unable to be changed), modifying the BG Color automatically makes the BG Color of the boolean text red while blinking (no matter what color you select).

Refer to the attached VI (written in LV 7.0) to better understand what this means

Hope this helps!
