RSView32 automatically assigns index numbers to input objects and
button objects as you create them. To check the index number for an
object, double–click the object to open its configuration dialog box,
and then check the number in the Index field.
For details about index numbers, see “Using index numbers” on
page 12-45.
Two ways to create a recipe file
You can create a recipe file with the Recipe editor or, at runtime, you
can create a recipe file by specifying a file name in the recipe field and
then saving values to that file.
To create a recipe file with the Recipe editor:
1. Open the Recipe editor.
2. Type one entry per line. Type one entry for each input field in the
display. You can have up to 500 entries.
An entry is the index number, a comma, and the value you want to
load into the input field, with no spaces. Index numbers must start at
one and increase by one.
If you want, you can include the tag name, preceded by an
exclamation mark (!), as a comment. Tag names are automatically
added to the file when values are written to the file.
3. Save the file.
To create a recipe file at runtime:
1. At development time, in a graphic display, create an input field for
each value the recipe is to contain.
2. Create a recipe field for the display.
3. Save the graphic display.
