Dear Skegsy-

You will not be able to use the "customize control" function to modify
the indicator's disabled state. Because you're, in effect, changing
the image display of a Boolean indicator, there is no 'disabled' state
for the indicator. A 'true' or 'false' value is always being passed to
the indicator, so it can only have two displays.

One thing you may want to try is using a property node. Within the
function block, [right-click] on the icon for your indicator and
select [Create]>>[Property Node]. Now, [right-click] on the button and
select [Change all to write]. Finally, [left-click] on the lower half
of the property node and select "Visible" from the pull down menu.

With this property node, you can make the indicator visible or
non-visible based on a Boolean input. If you wire a Boolean into the
node, a true value will cause the indicator to appear and a false
value will cause it to disappear. If you put this property node inside
your function loop with a boolean test respective to your desired
action, you can effectively control the appearance of your arrow
indicator.

Hope this helps. Please let me know if you need anything else.

Kind Regards,
