display in black & white mode

[julesjay]

Hi,

I need to display my IHM in black & white mode. 

Is there a property node or something to do this?? 

Thanks

Hi James,

IHM = HMI = Frontpanel?

Well, you could use the brush tool to paint all in black and white. And it helps to use only classic controls/indicators...

Hi GerdW,

Yes, I would like to say frontpanel (IHM in french 😉 ).

The thing is that I have to be able to change dynamically from/to color mode to/from black & white (or greyscale).

In worth case, I can effectively use property node to color each control and indicator but what a mess...  Moreover, I usually use system controls which I think can't be colored.

So you don't know any way to do this? even using Windows SDK/APi?

best regards,

Would this example help?  It has some big caveats but might help with what you are trying to do.

I can't open it because I'm running 8.6.1f1.

Can you please compiled it in 8.6 compatibility. 

Thanks 

best regards,

It will take a minute to post but I added an 8.6 version to the downloads section of the document I linked to.
