how to freeze a B-control if a B-Indicator is true??

[toniaz]

Hey guys... I'm trying to make a simple tic tac toe game interfaced by speedy-33. This is not the deal however. I stopped when i tried to stipulate a condition: x AND o = F . However, I learned I cannot manipulate indicators (x & o are indicators). The thing is that when a player picks an x in lets say box 1,1 , the player with an o cannot place an o in the same box. (so I'm thinking of somehow stopping the place o in 1,1 control when x in 1,1 is true) 

Ideas are appreciated, I rather more practical alternatives. I'm offering kudos to everyone. 🙂

Thank you

Can't you just disable the box 1.1 (or any other) from the moment any player put's anything in it?

Disable property of a control : 0= Enabled  //  1= Disabled  //  2= Disabled&Grayed

how can i do that whilew am in the game (game is running). please check my sample vi out, note that I have put the indicators in case structures to maintain that the light is on and the button is latched.

Yes you can.

 

Allthough, you should consider making them controls, not indicators

I think you must read basic courses in LabVIEW.

Thanks Alan S... Youre right I know I must, I am already on it. It's just we have been recently intorduced to LabVIEW, we've never even heard of it... and we must deliver a project by january :-s

But thanks for help appreciate it
