25 Control Selectors
Publication 2711E-6.15 – November 1998
Configuring a Control List Selector without Enter Key
Configure the Control List Selector without Enter Key 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.
Control List Type Specify Control List Selector without Enter Key.
Initial State Specify the state that the cursor defaults to when the
application is run for the first time. Choose any of the states in
the list.
Instead of assigning a state, you can enter a blank value in the
Initial State field. This means that the object will always use the
Selector Control’s initial value to set the initial state.
Edit States Change the values of the states. You can assign any unique
value from –2,147,483,648 to 2,147,483,647. For more
information, see “Configuring List Object States” in Chapter 9,
Creating Objects, in the PanelBuilder 1400e Configuration
Software for Windows User Manual.
Note: To minimize the size of the application file, use state
values that increment by one for each state. Do not configure
more states than you need.
Auto-Repeat Rate Set the number of times per second the Up and Down Cursor
buttons will repeat when pressed and held down by the
operator. A value of 0 disables auto-repeat.
Auto-Repeat Start
Delay Set the time that should pass before the Up and Down Cursor
buttons go into Auto-Repeat mode when pressed and held
down by the operator. The range is 200 milliseconds to 2.5
seconds.
Up Cursor Specify whether the Up Cursor button is enabled, and if you
have a keypad application, select a function key. You must
have at least one of the Up and Down Cursor buttons enabled.
Down Cursor Specify whether the Down Cursor button is enabled, and if you
have a keypad application, select a function key. You must
have at least one of the Up and Down Cursor buttons enabled.
Control Selector Control records the state value of the list item
currently selected. You can assign a tag only to the Selector
Control.
When the application is run for the first time, if initial values are
defined, the value of the initial state is written to the Selector
Control. Each time the button is pressed, the value of the next
state is sent to the Selector Control. After the value for the last
state is sent, the next button press wraps back to the first state.
The button recognizes external control value changes. If the
Selector Control value changes to one that does not match any
of the state values, the next button press will set the button to
state 0.
Note: If you do not assign this control, an error state occurs
when the object is displayed on the PanelView terminal. No
highlight bar appears on the list, alerting the operator to the
error state.
