CONFIGURING THE COLOR VIRTUAL HMI
PRIMITIVE DESCRIPTIONS
• The On Entry Complete and On Entry Error properties are used respectively to
define actions to be executed when data entry is completed successfully, or when
an invalid value is entered. The actions may invoke any of the functions from the
Function Reference or the data modification operators described in the Writing
Actions section, or may run a program.
• The Keypad Type property is used to select the type of keypad to be displayed
when the value is edited. By default, a full keypad with raise and lower keys will
be shown. The options available will vary according to the primitive type.
• The Keypad Style property is used to override the default color scheme
associated with the popup keypad, and to substitute a high-contrast version in its
place. This is used in low-visibility applications such as direct sunlight.
The third page varies according to the primitive in question, and displays the same
information as the Format tab of the associated tag type. Different sections of the page will be
enabled according to the settings provided for the Get Label and Get Format properties. The
example below shows the Format tab for an integer text primitive…
As can be seen, the properties shown are indeed identical to those shown on the Format tab of
an integer tag. As mentioned above, the properties for the other types of primitive are
similarly identical to those of the corresponding tag. You are thus referred to the earlier
section of the manual regarding Data Tags for more information on each property.
EDITING THE UNDERLYING TAG
If you want to edit a tag text primitive’s properties, either double-click on the primitive, or
right-click and select the Properties command from the resulting menu. If, however, you want
to edit the properties of the tag that is being used to control the primitive, right-click and
select the Tag Details command instead. The resulting dialog box will show the Data, Format
