better way to set MCL selection color

[GregFreeman]

I have continuously changing cell background colors in a MClistbox as is simulated by the "consumer" loop. I don't want any sort of color to show what is selected. My first though was, set the selection color property to transparent. But if you do that, you can't see the data in the cell! This was the only way I could figure out how make it look like there is no selection color.

Is there a better way?

I saw some stuff about properties for this in LabWINDOWS mentioned on these forums (i think) but I wasn't sure what to do here.

also, why don't snippets allow implicit property nodes? I swear my code isn't as messy as the snippet made it!

Snippet didn't work. Here is a normal .png

Make it an indicator?

That's because you should have used the Code Capture Tool

I have it, i just shoulda used it ;). And, as for the more important question...?

Does the indicator trick work? And why do you want to use a listbox without seeing the current selection. (you could set the value of the listbox to -1)

Doh, I read right over your suggestion! And I didn't write the piece of junk code. I am just making some changes.
