Numeric text background color on a numeric element of a cluster.

Solved!
Go to solution

How does one change the numeric text background color (NumText.BGColor property) on a numeric element of a cluster?

I see the property when a numeric is standalone, but don't see it when it is inside a cluster.

Just Right-Click on the control inside the cluster and Create Property Node then select your Property.

Suppose there are an array of these clusters.

Is there a way to change the property of the numeric element at a specific index (as opposed to the numeric element at every index location?

No, all array elements share the same properties. Only values can be different.

 

One solution would be to add a flat colorbox as additional cluster element and place in in the background. Now change the color as desired.

Thanks much - the colorbox in the cluster is a good idea and easy to implement.
