gray out switch

[GerdW]

hi drek,

Gerd says its a labv7 problem

The only problem is: LabVIEW7 doesn't use an enum for this property. In this ancient version simple integers were used.

i quess dont know, need do look for anonther solution

No, you don't need another solution. You only need to create the correct value and wire it to the property node.

Again: read the context help for this property node to know which value you need to use!

What's your problem in reading the help?

think i understand now , if i use 0 nothinh happens, 1 the swtich is blocked, 3 the switch is blocked and grayed out ?

Gerd is right. Enumeration is a way of tagging a number with a label. Enum: Enabled , 0 Disabled, 1 Disabled and Grayed Out, 2 Set the input to Numeric Constant = 2.

The context help, which you have been repeatedly told to read, tells you the numeric value that you can use. This is a trivial problem to solve.

[Regulator · Accepted solution]

instead of 2 (Disable and Hide) at the beginning of the program, you are going to use 0 (Enable) at the end of the program to get it to come alive again. Right click the property node and choose "Change to Write" if you're having trouble writing to the property

Did you get your answer so we can solve this question?
