Checkbox Switch Widget

Used by: Selector Switch.

* Does not use the Style Settings tag.

The Checkbox Switch widget is used to create an On/Off control for a two-position SelectorSwitch tag. Each time an operator clicks on the box or attached label, the switch will toggle between positions and a check mark will be displayed for position 1.

This is a control-type widget that is only available for selector switches - it is not available for use as an indicator with Digital Input or Digital Status tags.

When displaying more than one check box on a page, each one must be given a unique value for its Focus ID.

The properties dialog for the check box is as shown:

This widget has a wide range of settings for its appearance and behaviour.

Invalid Color

Sets the color that will be displayed when the attached Selector Switch tag is in an Invalid state. May indicate either an error in communication or a Selector Switch with no feedback that has not yet been set to any position.

Mismatch Color
