mutually exclusive buttons

[Nick_F]

Hi All,

I have two buttons on a form and one is enabled and the other is disabled and greyed out. I want that when I click on the enabled button, to disable + grey out and to enable the other button. I created a property called disabled for the buttons, but I am not sure how to change it. My way would be with two cases and some boolean logic, but maybe there is an easier way.

Regards,

Nick

Just use an event structure... See attached LabVIEW 7.0 example.

Modify as needed.

Of course you did not specify what kind of mechanical action the buttons should have, and in the case of switch action, if the diabled states should either depend, or be independent, of the boolean value. There are many possible interpretations.

Hi Altenbach,

Thank you, your example did exactly what I was looking for. I know I didn't specified the details for what I was looking for.

What about a radio control? only one choice of many is allowed.

Well, a radio control does not grey out the current selection. While it might be a better choice, It does not fulfill the stated requirements. 😉
