Specifying startup and shutdown commands
To run commands when the graphic display starts or stops running, specify display startup
and shutdown commands, or macros.
If you use the Always Updating option with the Cache After Displaying option, the
startup command is run when the display is loaded into the cache.
The shutdown command is run only when the cache is flushed. This happens when:
 The FlushCache command is run.
 A user logs off the FactoryTalk View SE Client.
 The FactoryTalk View SE Client is closed.
For details about the FlushCache command, see the FactoryTalk View Site Edition Help.
Specifying colors for input objects
At run time, an operator can use input objects to read values from or write values to
programmable controllers and other devices.
You can select the color an input object will have when selected, when not selected, and
when there is an operator input error.
Text color is the color of the text in the input object. Fill color is the background color of
the input object. To select a color, click the colored box to open a palette, and then click a
color to apply.
Choose colors for input objects that will stand out from the background color of the
display. Also choose different colors for selected objects, so that an operator can tell when
an object is selected, and when it is highlighted (see the next sections).
Specifying the behavior of interactive objects
Interactive objects are objects an operator can interact with at run time, using a mouse,
keyboard, or touch screen. A button with a press action is an example of an interactive
object.
You can specify whether interactive objects in a graphic display beep when pressed,
whether they have a highlight box when the mouse passes over them, and what color the
highlight will be.
The startup command runs before the display opens, so commands such as UploadAll or
RecipeRestore will not work as startup commands or in a startup macro.
The shutdown command runs after the display closes, so commands such as DownloadAll or
RecipeSave will not work as shutdown commands or in a shutdown macro.
