140 Scrolling Lists
Publication 2711E-6.15 – November 1998
After you configure the Multistate Indicator Object List and any
other object lists that are part of the same Scrolling List, group the
object lists with the Cursor List. You must group all the components
of the Scrolling List at the same time or PanelBuilder will report a
validation error. For more information about grouping objects see
Chapter 9, Creating Objects, in the PanelBuilder 1400e
Configuration Software for Windows User Manual.
For an example of how to configure Multistate Indicator Object Lists
that would be displayed with your Cursor List, see “Scrolling List
Example” at the end of this chapter.
The number of Local Message objects in a list is determined by the
Number of Visible States you defined for the Cursor List. The list
should be wide enough to accommodate the longest Local Message
on a single line.
Configuring the Local Message Object List
Configure the Local Message Object List according to the following
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.
Number of Visible
States Define the number of objects that the operator can see at any
given time. For the scrolling list to be valid, the Number of
Visible States must be the same as the Cursor List’s Number of
Visible States.
Highlight Bar Check this box if you want the current state (controlled by the
Cursor Control or cursor buttons) to appear highlighted in
reverse video.
Control Visible State controls are used to attach an individual control to
each visible object or state in the list. You can assign tags or
expressions to these controls.
You can adjust the size of the Local Message Object List and format
its foreground color, background color, font style, and blink and
underline attributes. You cannot use the Extra Large Font for the
Local Message Object List. For details on formatting objects see
“Changing Object Appearance” in Chapter 9, Creating Objects, in
the PanelBuilder 1400e Configuration Software for Windows User
Manual.
