4. To use a character from the keyboard, type that character. You can

type only one character. To use a character from the extended
character set, hold down the

ALT

key while you enter the

character’s ASCII code on the numeric keypad. See Appendix B,
The Extended Character Set, in the PanelBuilder 1400e
Configuration Software for Windows User Manual
for more
information.

You can use text or a graphic image as the Set Bit Cursor Point
display.

To define the Set Bit Cursor Point display field:

1. Create the Set Bit Cursor Point object.

2. Type the text you want to see associated with the cursor point, or

import and place a graphic image in the display.

You can position the display on another area of the screen, instead
of next to the character.

If you don’t want a display with the cursor point, remove the
border and change the field’s background color to the screen
color. This will make the field disappear.

Configuring the Set Bit Cursor Point

Configure the Set Bit Cursor Point according to this 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.

Set Bit Control

Set Bit Control records the status of the Set Bit Cursor Point.
You can only assign a tag to this control.
When it is selected, the control is set to 1. Otherwise it is 0.
Since this control uses only two values, a digital tag is
recommended.

You can adjust the size of the Set Bit Cursor Point’s display and
format the object’s foreground color, background color, font style,
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.
