change property of numeric input

[Markus Manninger]

Hi,

I have to change the property of a numeric input. The spin buttons (up
and down) should disapear an the border- and backgroundcolor should turn
to transparent. But i couldn't find these properties in the property
node.

Does anybody know how to handle this?

thanxs a lot,
Max

One of the methods is to Customize it.

Right-click on the Num.Ctrl, select [Advanced] then [Customize...]

Switch to Edit Mode (1st button with a TOOL symbol), and it is now your call.

Hope this will help.

hello Max
If using Labview 7, there is a property node "increment decrement visible" to hide/view the up/down arrows.
To make trasnsparent the border, use the color tool, and to make transparent the background, use the "numeric text>>text colors" property node.

If using other version,or want to keep the control that way, best choice is "edit>>customize control" and save it for other purposes.

Hope it helps.
