Hi Hitesh, We change the "Text Contents" dynamically on some of our FoxView screens. You can enter up to 126 different strings for the text by using the "Discrete" option when you configure the "Text Contents" of a screen object. We usually use an integer that is either read from a text file into a shared variable or is generated by a calc block. Like Alex said, it is easy monitor your Auto/Manual status with a calc block and generate an integer of 1-4 for your four text strings. Link the calc block integer to a text placeholder on your screen. When you create the placeholder for your text in FoxDraw make sure you have enough room for your longest string or the text will get whacked off.

For example, one of my colleage has a requirement which involves 2 valves. If valve A is in Auto mode, the text should display A mode. Same for B mode. When both are manual, the text should say Full Manual and similarly Full Auto. Is there a straight way to do so? thanks Hitesh _______________________________________________________________________ This mailing list is neither sponsored nor endorsed by Invensys Process Systems (formerly The Foxboro Company).
