Re: [foxboro] Leading Zero in Station.Minute

I suppose I could just put a 0 on the screen and tie the visibility of it to
the value of station.minute.  If less then 10 make it visible.

Hi Scott,

  I used a brute force method on one of my FoxView displays to show leading
zeros.

  I configured a two character text object to display the text content using
discrete states with 60 states.  When my IA point has a value of a single
digit (0 through 9) I set the text content to 00, 01, etc.  

  The down side to this is you have to set all 60 states, which is annoying,
but it does work.

  This particular display shows a casting batch start and stop times that
are brought in from a PLC as separate numbers for day, month, hour, and
minute.

Hi all new to the list and relatively new to foxboro.  Hope I'm not asking
something that's been covered but I searched the archives and didn't see
anything.

We use Foxdraw 8 for our displays and pull the value from Station.hour and
Station.Minute and move it into other blocks.  However for display purposes
is there a good way to get a leading zero in station.minute when the minute
is a single digit.
