the user label ?  UserLabel1

Hallo Kenneth,

what text did you set to your label?



Klaus

set the text you want to have displayed in the property dialog.




Klaus

if i use Inch and not UserLabel1, it will just be a label.
i want it to change as i click the Convert button.
unless i don't understand which lael you mean.

a better picture

Metric =  UserLabel1
12.000 = user input dro
Convert = button
led = user led
Lit is MM = stand label

also...is there a way to change/enlarge the font on buttons(without enlarging the button) ?
ie. Convert above

Hi Kenneth,

write a macro containing:

SetUserLabel(nr, "text")

where text would be the default (Inch / metric).
Put that macro in the General Logic configuration  Initialization String field.


Klaus

i have this....
but do you mean to write SetUserLabel(1,"Inch/Metric") ?
and it will pick between the two words ?

If GetUserLED(1012) Then
SetUserDRO(1010 , GetUserDRO(1010) / 25.400)
SetUserLabel(1,"Inch")  'displays Inch
SetUserLED(1012,0)
Else
SetUserDRO(1010 , GetUserDRO(1010) * 25.400)
SetUserLabel(1,"Metric")   'displays Metric
SetUserLED(1012,1)
End If
End

Hi Kenneth,

no, you must use the initialization text, either Inch or metrics.
