color boxes in labview

[voiceburg]

I'm attempting to make custom shapes using multiple color boxes. I'd
like to be able to outline the custom shapes somehow but haven't yet
found a way in labview to do so. Has anyone attempted such a task and
if so could you please pass along your method.

Thanks

Bill

Bill,

I tried creating a custom shape and importing it as a picture into a ColorBox control, but was unsuccessful.

I would suggest, however, that you use a boolean, import a picture to all states for your overall shape, and control the color either with the state of the boolean (between two colors) or by using propert nodes to control the state colors.

Good luck

Hi Bill,

I'm not sure that I understood your problem exactly, but take a look in the attachment (I played a little with sizes and colors controlling also the order of boxes)
