Property Node activated even though it's been removed from Block Diagram

[Dan_Windroth]

Hi,

I messed around with the property node of one of my controls and when I was finished and removed the property node from the block diagram it still makes my control blink.

How do I make it stop??

Is the option of Enable state not possible to set in property node mode. I'd like to go from disabled and grayed to enabled.

Thanks.

To stop the blinking :

1. Create the Blinking property node again.
2. Wire a False constant to it.
3. Run your VI once.
4. Delete the property node.

Hi

Your blinking property might still be set. Add the property again to set it to False.

To set the enabled/disabled/grayed state use the "Disabled" property.

Hope this helps.

I know this works but I have several of these persistent blinkin' blinkers.

Is there not a way to globally initialize the blinking properties to false when the VI first runs?  Or some way to manually 'set the default' value of the blinking properties of all indicators to false?

Thanks,

You can iterate through all of your FP controls and write a false constant to blinking which will have the effect of stopping the blinking effect for all FP controls and indicators.

Keep in mind the posted method won't go inside other controls.  So if you have a blinking control in a tab then it won't be turned off.  Same with if something is blinking in a cluster.  For these types of controls you should use the Traverse For GObjects.

Fantastic! It works! So, maybe I shouldn't have asked this question in the prior thread. How do I give you solution/kudos credit in this case? I suppose the moderator could provide some direction.

Thanks,

The unofficial forum guidelines covers this.

Basically click accept solution and kudo button as you like, no penalty for giving too many kudos, or marking solutions.

I clicked the kudos button, don't see an 'accept solution' button.
