changing the color property node of an indicator based on a certain condition

[cmiranda]

An upper level VI sends a set of conditions to a VI that SHOULD change the color of the indicators based on a set of t/f cases. However, the color of the indicators is changing in the lower level VI but not in the VI that is doing the calling. I am not using an while loops, just case statements. Help?!

What you need to do is get a reference to the upper level VI control that you want to change to colour of. I have edited your VIs that you included to show how I passed the references to the controls into the subVI. The subVI can then change the colours, values, labels, etc. of the controls and changes are immediate.

Hope this is what you're looking for.
