EBpro macro

[Nafir]

Hello, I'm new to a program EBpro and I have to find a way to make a numeric object's background change colors depending on read data from plc. For example, I'm gonna have a HHigh, High, LLow and Low limit. If the data hits
High or Low the background has to change to yellow color, if it hits HHigh or LLow - red. The panel is MT8150XE model and apparently I don't have the Object Condition menu. I'm trying to write a macro. So far I can activate a BitLamp which has 2 states, but can't find a way to make it stop blinking. Is there even a way to make an object or shape reset it's state? Is it even possible to do this via macro? There is a way to do this without it - I just put shapes or objects behind the numeric object and address them properly but still, was wondering if I can achieve this in other ways.

Try the 'Word Lamp'. Set the number of states you wish.

Hello,
Okay but, how do I set up the the whole thing? I'm very confused. Would appreciate your help To be honest, I came up with an idea. I will try putting 2 rectangles and will enable use register status/value for both. But once I call the address with a macro (for example LB 0, "SetData(On, "Local HMI", LB, 0, 1)"), how do I make it disappear ? Because once shown, it will hide the other one. One more thing - how does SETBITOFF work? I've read the manuals but can't really understand what is happening... Sorry for asking too many questions, but I think SETBITOFF is the salvation, since both rectangles use register and If I turn off the bit they will disappear till the next turn on of the bit.

Hello guys,
So far I came up with a solution. I use two variables - On and Off, bool type. Firstly, I use GetData, to read data from numeric object and convert it to BCD - "LW_BCD". Then, depending on the read data (Input), I set on and off ellipse objects, which have enabled "Use register status/value". Whenever I set on one of them using SetData(On) (since On is TRUE), in the end of "If" I use SetData(Off) (since Off is FALSE), so I can turn off (hide) them. Important note is that I had to set correct device data format in numeric's properties (in my testing case 32-bit Float). I'll put my test macro below, would appreciate any tips.
