4.18 String

The String object is used to control functions in UCODE-compatible components whose state is a text string. An
example of this might be naming a preset. To place a String object on a graphics plate, choose String Object
from the Toolbox. The String Attributes window (Figure 4.59) will then open so you can configure it. Its attributes
are described below:
Fig. 4.59 The String Attributes Window
Component List: Selects the IQ component to which the String object will be linked. Only IQ2 components
will be included in the list if they are entered into a control block.
Function List: Selects the specific function that the String object will control. The function list will change to match
the IQ component selected in the component list.
Background: Sets the background color of the String object.
Text: Sets the foreground color of the text for the String object.
Read Only: Causes the String object to display information only. The operator will not be able to change the
value of the string.
Border: Determines whether or not the border of the String object will be visible.
Refresh: When the Refresh attribute is turned on and the String object has been placed inside a container
object, every time the state of the String object changes, all objects in the parent container will retrieve their state
from the IQ component and redisplay themselves if necessary.
