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.

Subject: [foxboro] Visibility with multiple discretes in Foxvoew


Hi List,

Does anyone know the way how  to display a text with visibility based
on more than one variables.

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
