Multi state text indicator

Is there a way to change the "Display a Blank Message" color????


When a non programmed number is in the tag name I want the blank
message to match the screen

In the option tab you can set a tag for object visibility based on a tags value. If your message word uses values 0-64 for example you could set the visibility tag to less than 65 using your "ESC_SENT_RESULT" tag. Unless you are inside the 0-64 range the indicator will not display on screen.

thanks

forgot about that visibility tag option
That will work a few of my [FONT=&quot]Multi state indicators.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]some use value that are non-sequential[/FONT]

Well nothing can ever be straightforward huh?

I guess the other option is to select "display a blank message" for non programmed messages. Each message can be set up for different text and background colors in the message tab. You would then manually set any values that aren't associated with a message to use the background color that matches your default screen color.

One other quick thing. The multi-state text indicator only allows 17 messages to be set up from what I'm seeing. If you have a large number of messages you may want to be using the "lookup text" object. You would set up your messages in the message database at that point.

Disregard my question. Just saw where you can change it to Message number and then have 255 !!!

Also you can set up how you would like your blank message to look so that it blends in and with that message selected click "Set attribute". That will copy the message format. Then you can select multiple unused message entries and click "change attribute" and it will paste the formatting to all selected messages.

Should be able to populate the table pretty quickly that way.
