2. With the graphic image selected, choose Make Label from the
Edit menu.
A message informs you if the image is too large to fit into the
line; if this message appears, the image is not converted to a
label.
If the image is not converted to a label, and you know the image
is small enough, move the graphic image closer to the top of the
object and choose Make Label again.
Note: To deselect the Double Height States option after you have
entered Double High or Large text, two lines of text, or a graphic
image that is larger than 20 pixels, change the text size, delete the
second line of text, or remove the graphic image. Remember that
you must do this for every state with Large or Double High text,
or two lines of text.
Configuring the Multistate Indicator Object List
Configure the Multistate Indicator Object List according to the
following table:
Field Meaning
Name Assign a name, up to 15 characters, to document the object for
printed reports. This increases the application’s size by 1 byte
per character.
Number of States Specify the number of states this object will display, from 2 to
255. You can specify different values for each state. To do so,
choose Edit States in the dialog box. You can assign any
unique value from –2,147,483,648 to 2,147,483,647. For more
information on configuring states, see “Configuring List Object
States” in Chapter 9, Creating Objects, in the PanelBuilder
1400e Configuration Software for Windows User Manual.
For each state, you should configure colors, labels, and other
attributes.
Note: To minimize the size of the application file, use state
values that increment by one for each state. Do not configure
more states than you need.
Number of Visible
States Define the number of objects from the whole list that the
operator can see at any given time. For the scrolling list to be
valid, the Number of Visible States must be the same as the
Cursor List’s Number of Visible States.
Double Height States Check this box if you want each list state to appear twice as
large as normal. If you choose this option, each list item
doubles in size. Note that Double Height States reduce the
maximum number of visible states to 12. The states’ height
should be the same as that of the Cursor List.
Control Visible State controls allow you to attach an individual control
to each visible object or state in the list. You can assign tags or
expressions to these controls.
