Is there a way to prevent an xControl from becoming an indicator?

[LJHerskowitz]

I made a very simple xControl that only makes sense as a control. Is there a way to prevent it from becoming an indicator?

Yes, in the facade VI you have a number of different events. One of them is called Direction Change. It fires when the XControl is loaded into memory, or is changed from a control to an indicator, or vice versa. Put logic in that event that forces the xcontrol to be a control if it's set to be an indicator.
