Touch screen boolean arra, with changing input.

[jingles]

Hi

I need to make an array with colours using a touch screen. There are two arrays, the first has the option of nine number to input, each linked to a colour. The colour then appears to the appropriate box with reference to the number placed in the first array. These are a 2D arrays obviously. There are 9 colours giving different catagories. Each number will give a different colour and will assign the arrays such as the pictures provided. If there are just colours that can be placed straight into the second array, this is also an option. All tasks must be done using push buttons, for it's a touch screen and must be user friendly.

Thanks so much

James

I've also attached my vi that i have been working on, so you may see if there errors. Any tips would be of great help. Thanks

Take a look at this discussion. I believe that it is what you are doing.

Thanks so much! helps a lot. Was just hoping not to have to scroll through all the colours every time but i'll try adjust the vi so it can do that.

Hi Tim, quick question on the example VI you posted on the link, I see you have used pictures as the colour variable, is there a way of using colourboxes, secondly Jingles and I are looking to use a couple of boolean buttons as selectors for the categories of colour, so if say category 1 is high, the boxes or holes I click should be marked with the category 1 colour. Any ideas on how I can achieve that? the application for this coding is for categorising tray holes for different sample, indexes of the holes are actually addresses for an actuator to move a particular sample to its appropriate hole. Thanks a Mil Tim, Cheers

Here is a different way using color box arrays to do what you want.
