MessageDisplayByValue

[Tom]

I am new to the Advanced HMI system.  I am trying to use the MessageDisplayByValue.  I am pointing the "PLCAddressValue" to a RSLogix5000 tag of "INT" type.  The message function is working properly.  The background color feature is not. Can I select a different color for each value of the "PLCAddressValue"?  It does not appear to be working correctly for me.  I am trying to set 0 = White, 1 = Yellow, and 2 = Red.  When I run the application, I get 0=White, 1=Red, 2=Red.

Any Suggestions

I have used this control and I believe you can select 3 different background colors. You select the default background color to display when you have no alarms. You then can use HighlightColor and HighlightColor2 to select a different color based on the HighlightKeyCharacter and  HighlightKeyCharacter2 that you use. When you create a message you add either HighlightKeyCharacter or HighlightKeyCharacter2 to the end of your message and it will change the background color. Hope this helps.

The timing of this coming up is actually good. I have been working on an application that replaces a Panelview that uses multiple background colors based on the message. I have modified the MessageDisplayByValue to allow each individual message have it's own background color. Look for this feature in the next version of 3.67
