How to get total number of slider in a meter

[mugger]

I'm now using the meter control objects, I added 4 needles/sliders when the VI is offline, when I clicked run, Labview no longer lets me add more needle, so the needle control is not dynamic, there are several things I need to do dynamically which means let computer find and make decisio during running:

1. Find out how many sliders are on the panel?

2. Add/remove one of sliders?

3. Redistribute all sliders?

I'd like to use property node to get this done, but I didn't how. Any help?

we can't add needle/slider to the object during VI runtime.

your requirements 1 and 3 can be done using the property node..

Use the "Digital Display[]" property to get/set the slider value.

Create your meter with the maximim number of sliders you possibly need, then hide (property:visible) as many as you want to simulate fewer sliders.

 Hi Altenbach,

No property available to make specific slider visible/invisible

and im able hide the slider by setting "Active Slider", "Slider Colors" properties.

I am using LV2009

Yes, set them to transparent. That's what I meant.
