Screen Selectors

Publication 2711E-6.15 – November 1998

Configuring the Screen List Selector

Configure the Screen List Selector 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.

Up Cursor

Specify whether the Up Cursor is enabled, and, if you have a
keypad application, which function key it uses. You must have
at least one of the Up and Down Cursor keys enabled.

Down Cursor

Specify whether the Down Cursor is enabled, and, if you have a
keypad application, which function key it uses. You must have
at least one of the Up and Down Cursor keys enabled.

Enter
(Keypad only)

Specify which function key the operator will press to select the
highlighted choice.

Screens

The list must have at least 2 lines or states, to a maximum of 24
(0 – 23 states). To assign a screen to a state, highlight the line
for the state and choose Assign Screen. The Assign Screen
dialog box appears. Choose the screen to assign to this state
from the list of existing screens.

You can adjust the size each component of the Screen List Selector
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
.

A Screen Select Keypad is a numeric keypad that enables the
operator to choose the next screen to be displayed by entering its
number.

Tip: Configure a Goto Screen button labeled “Select New Screen”
to go to a screen displaying a Screen Select Keypad. The operator
can then select the desired screen by entering the screen number.

Screen Select Keypads come in two sizes: the large keypad is
384 pixels wide, while the small keypad is 192 pixels wide. Both
keypads are 480 pixels high, and both operate in the same way.
