Overview

This example demonstrates programmatically controlling the visibility of a given control or indicator on the front panel.

 

Description

A control or indicator can be made visible or invisible by setting its Visible property. Using an event structure to detect when a button is pressed, we can change the visibility of a control or indicator with a property node. This concept can be used in more complex applications.

 

Requirements

  • LabVIEW 2012 (or compatible)

 

Steps to Implement or Execute Code

  1. Run the VI
  2. Toggle the Boolean control to change the visibility of the indicator or control (in this example, a Waveform Chart and a boolean are used)
