First step, the objects of decoration you can modify its properties in "Run-Time "?

I want to develop a mini SCADA application, where I have to do some animations usingsimple objects like Shapes.

Yes, it is possible to modify decorations in runtime. An example is below.

As you can see, you just need to get a reference to the front panel containing the decoraitions, and then use the Decos[] property to get an array of references to the decorations. These can be passed to a property node.

Unfortunately, the decorations cannot be given a unique identifier, such as a label. So if you have multiple decorations, it can be tricky to modify the properties of a specific one. If you are only dealing with one shape, this won't be an issue. One roundabout way to pick out a particular decoration would be to search through the array references until you find the one with matching size and location on the front panel. Alternatively, you could use a disabled control, such as a boolean push button with no caption, and refer to that directly.

Hope this helps.
