Simplified Error Out Indicator

Make an alternative Error indicator that is a tri-state LED. Green for good, Yellow for warnings, and Red for errors. And make it so you can still right click and select "Explain Warning/Error"

I don't feel the need for this at all, but it should be fairly easy to write an XControl which does this. Its data type would be an error cluster, so you could wire the error cluster directly into it.

I agree that it shouldn't be included with LabVIEW, but I was inspired to create this on my own.  You can get it here at the ni.com Community

Another related idea: tri-state boolean control. Not exactly the same use case, so I'm not suggesting these be closed as duplicates of each other. But I figure anyone interested in one might want to vote for the other also.

I like the XControl David_L made. It should be sufficient for anything I want to make. I guess I just thought if it was was built into Labview, it would do away with the somewhat awkward nature of XControls. For instance, this is an indicator, but as an XControl it places as a control.

It doesn't have to do that. Tweak the Init.vi to have it drop as an indicator.
