propertys of LED array

[flori89]

Hi,

i am searching for a way to manage a large number of LEDs. i need a matrix of up to 254 LEDs the number must be variable and i want to change folowing propertys of each LED individually: size and state.

please post only examples in LV 7.0 or less.

Thanks Florian

Sorry,

i not need the size for each LED individually, only for all together. the propertys which i needs individually are state and visible.

Hi Florian,

Rather than wait until others start posting about not being able to set different properties of elements in an array, let me suggest using a picture control with images of booleans.

This thread

contains a bunch of links associated with using the picture control to do what can not be done using native LV controls and indicators.

If all else fails, that should work.
