Problem with blinking front panel pictures with property node

[nousome]

Hi,

I prospect forums but I have not found solutions to my problems. I want to display different pictures at different times or successively.

I want to display one picture, wait until the user click onto it (I know how do it), then display another picture in the place of the first and so blinking the first.

I use the property node, but this doesn't function like I want. The two pictures are displaying simultaneously when the VI runs.

Sorry for this simple request. Thanks in advance for your help.

I don't quitre understand your description. Can you attach your code?

1. How do you display the images (picture indicator, picture ring, etc.)?
2. What are you doing with the property nodes? Which property??
3. What is your definition of blinking? Do you want to display the new picture only while e.g. the mouse is down? Do you want to alternate image 1 and 2 at a defined rate while clicked?
4. ...

Hi,

Sorry for the confusion,

1. How do you display the images (picture indicator, picture ring, etc.)?  I display the images with BMP file changed via draw flattened pixmap in picture.ctl.

2. What are you doing with the property nodes? Which property??  I right click in the picture in the front panel, create/property node and I make blinking property in the block diagram, when I want this, but it doesn't work.

3.  What is your definition of blinking? Do you want to display the new picture only while e.g. the mouse is down? Do you want to alternate image 1 and 2 at a defined rate while clicked?   My definition of blinking is just the image isn't displaying and also that it is not activate (a click onto it makes nothing).

What I want is somewhat more complicated, I want that 2 pictures are displayed in the same front panel, and conditionnal at one click (I use an event structure) in one of the picture, two others pictures are displayed in the same location of the two others before, and in the same front panel.

After, I want another thing more complicated: I want to display 6 pictures and when the user click onto one picture, in the next trial, this picture is removed, and the location of the remaining pictures is changed in order to randomize position of pictures

Thanks For your help.
