This alarm works ok inside of the picture, but on the top level navigation screen the three first buttons starts lighting. I can't find any place to configure this. Does anybody have a idea?? O

(last bit) I read the single message state with a unsigned 32bit tag, but the group display value need signed 32 bit tag. I want to do this conversion with internal tags and c- script. Currently I'm using this code to convert the value which is not working. { long signed int n, x ; short unsigned int msw, lsw; n = GetTagDWord("MessageStateTag"); lsw = n; msw = n >> 16; msw = ~msw; x = ( lsw << 16) \| msw; SetTagDWord("GroupValueTag", x); } How can I convert this unsigned 32bit value to signed 32bit with c??? O
