8–3 Creating Push Buttons
Publication 2711-6.0
Push buttons can have inner text and/or an inner graphic. Both
appear inside the push button and can change with each state. The
inner text or graphic is attached to the button. When you move or
delete the button, the inner text or graphic is also moved or deleted.
Push buttons are created with ST 0 as the default inner text. For
example, the default inner text for on/off push buttons is ST 0 and
ST 1. For multistate push buttons, the default inner text increments
from ST 0 to ST 15.
