How do you dynamically change the enabled state of a control?

[BenG.]

I am building a VI whose purpose is to generate a digital signal, display it on a graph, and optionally save the data to a file. I have a path control and a check box included in my front panel. When the check box is checked I want the enabled state of the path control to be Enabled. When the check box is unchecked I want the enabled state of the path control to be Disabled & Grayed. Is there a way to accomplish this or even just make it look like this?

 

PS: I also want the check box to control whether or not the VI saves data to a file, but that part I think I can figure out.

Right click the path control and choose create property node.

Select Enabled

Set as write

Wire a constant (o enabled, 1 disabled, 3 disabled and greyed out)
