Scrolling Lists

Publication 2711E-6.15 – November 1998

Field

Meaning

Number of Visible
States

Define the height of the scrollable list that is visible to the operator.
The valid range is from 1 to 24. The value you enter cannot be
greater than the Number of States defined for the object and must
be greater than the Number of Preview States.

You can also configure the number of visible states by sizing the
Cursor List graphically. See Chapter 9, Creating Objects

,

in the

PanelBuilder 1400e Configuration Software for Windows User
Manual
for details.

Note: You cannot size the Cursor List to accommodate fewer states
than the number of the highest assigned Visible State control. For
example, if you assigned a tag to Visible State 5, you cannot
graphically size the list to display fewer than 5 states. If you size the
list to display fewer than 5 states by entering a lower number in the
Number of Visible States field, you will receive a warning, and, if you
choose to proceed, Visible State controls with a higher number will
be deleted.

Each visible state can have a Visible State control assigned.

Number of Preview
States

Define the minimum number of visible states above or below the
cursor before the list begins to scroll.

The minimum number you can enter is 0. See Configuring Preview
States
, later in this chapter, for information about the maximum
Number of Preview States.

Auto-Repeat Rate
(per second)

Set the number of times per second the Up, Down, Page Up, and
Page Down cursor buttons will repeat when pressed and held down
by the operator. Valid values are between 0 and 20. A value of 0
disables auto-repeat.

Auto-Repeat Start
Delay

Set the time that should pass before the Up, Down, Page Up, and
Page Down cursor buttons go into Auto-Repeat mode when pressed
and held down by the operator. Valid values are between 200
milliseconds and 2.5 seconds.

Retain Last List
State

Select Yes or No. If you select Yes, PanelView retains the last (that
is, most current) list state for the Cursor List and related Object Lists
even after a screen change, mode change, or after the terminal is
turned off. If you choose No, the list state for the Cursor List and
related Object Lists are not retained even after a screen change,
mode change, or after the terminal is turned off.

See Configuring Retained Last List States, later in this chapter, for
more information.

Note: If you select Yes, the application will be compatible only with
PanelView Version 2 or later. The application will not be compatible
with earlier versions.
