Get a reference to the front panel and then loop thru all the references to the indicator. Use FOR loop to check that each indicator is a cluster, then loop thru its elements to get the boolean references then set the tip strips. OR, use the mouse enter function for an invisible indicator over your, entire 1024 elements. If the mouse stays still for some amount of time (ie the event structure times out) make another text indicator visible and move it to the mouse coordinates. Check the mouse coordinates and insert the correct text string for wherever the mouse is. -Scott
