Control Selectors

Publication 2711E-820 – January 1998

Field

Meaning

Up Cursor

Specify whether the Up Cursor button is enabled, and if you
have a keypad application, select a function key. You must
have at least one of the Up and Down Cursor buttons enabled.

Down Cursor

Specify whether the Down Cursor button is enabled, and if you
have a keypad application, select a function key. You must
have at least one of the Up and Down Cursor buttons enabled.

Control

Selector Control records the state value of the list item
currently selected. You can assign a tag only to the Selector
Control.
When the application is run for the first time, if initial values are
defined, the value of the initial state is written to the Selector
Control. Each time the button is pressed, the value of the next
state is sent to the Selector Control. After the value for the last
state is sent, the next button press wraps back to the first state.
The button recognizes external control value changes. If the
Selector Control value changes to one that does not match any
of the state values, the next button press will set the button to
state 0.
Note: If you do not assign this control, an error state occurs
when the object is displayed on the PanelView terminal. No
highlight bar appears on the list, alerting the operator to the
error state.

You can adjust the size of each component of the Control List
Selector without Enter Key, and format the object’s foreground color,
background color, font style, button margins (touch screen
applications only), border style, fill style, and blink attributes. For
details on formatting objects see “Changing Object Appearance,” in
Chapter 9, Creating Objects, in the PanelBuilder 1400e
Configuration Software for Windows User Manual
.

Note: If you use the Extra Large Font, the application will be
compatible only with PanelView Version 2 or later. The application
will not be compatible with earlier versions.
