control and indicator

Hello everyone,
i´m using Labview 7.1 and i´m making a VI that have some controls that sometimes work as controls and sometimes as indicators. I want they can work as both just using an option(for instance putting on in a led). Is it possible and is there any example that do it? Is it possible using Property Nodes?
Thanks in advance
e.c.

Yes, you can use property nodes or local variables to write to controls or read from indicators. Doing so will force the operation into the User Interface thread and may slow down your program.

If you want to be able to control this programmaticaly, you can make all of them controls and use the Disabled property to enable and disable them. Note: this won't fool a "mouse down" event, which you will need, by the way, if you want to detect clicks on indicators.
