Hello everybody,

I would like that pressing the button "lift" the two control buttons have the text, "up" and "down", but if I press the button "cylinder" (or anything else that face forward and backwards) the two buttons should have the text, "forward" and "backwards". How can I do this sort of dynamic menu? I know that I have to use the list of texts, but how?


Thanks

Hi sbartoc,

Here is how it can be done using a textlist, easiest approach:
-Create an HMI tag type integer (for example named: selection);
-For the button "lift" create an event SetTag and set value of tag "selection" to 1 on click, for button "cylinder" set value of tag "selection" to 2;
-Create two textlists("textlist1 and textlist2") one with "up" "forward" and one with "down" "backwards",
-Setup textlist1 and textlist2: set for which value which text should be displayed. (textlist1: for 1 "up", for 2 "forward") (textlist2: for 1 "down" for 2 "backwards")
-right click button "up/forwards" > properties > general > select for label textlist1 for process tag "selection", select for button "down/backwards" textlist2 and process tag also"selection".
-You're done... Now when youclick "cylinder" the selection tag will be set to 2(this tag is connected to textlist1 and textlist2)and the buttons will show "forward" "backward". When youclick "lift" "up" and "down" will show.

Test it and let me know how it went.

Kind regards,
Jens
