This dialog allows you to fully configure the Command animation…
Configuration dialog
The event tabs (e.g., On Down, On While, etc.) and the Type menu are the same as in the Object Properties
dialog described above. The remaining settings are shared for all events:
• Options pane:
• Enable Focus checkbox: When this option is checked, the object that the Command animation was
applied to can receive the focus during runtime by the navigation keys.
• Force checkbox: When this option is checked, any tag that receives a value will generate events based
on its change, even if the value of the tag in question does not actually change. For instance, if a tag
has the value 0 and the Command animation overwrites the same value 0 to this tag, any other task
in the project runtime will recognize that this tag changed value (even if it did not) after executing the
animation. This option is useful when you want to make sure that actions driven by tag changes (e.g.,
Write on Tag Change from a communication driver) are triggered after the Command animation is executed.
Please keep in mind that if the tag's value does not actually change, then the tag's timestamp
(tagname->timestamp) will not update either.
Note: For projects created with InduSoft Web Studio v6.1+SP3 or earlier, the Force option is
enabled by default and cannot be disabled.
• Beep checkbox: When this option is checked, a short beep is played when the Command is executed.
This option is useful to provide an audio feed-back to the user, indicating that the Command was
executed. It does not indicate, however, if the action triggered by the Command animation was
successful or not.
• Release checkbox: When this option is checked, the On Up event is executed when you drag the cursor
(or your finger) out of the object area (whether the button was released or not). This option is useful
to make sure that the On Up event will always be executed after an On Down event, even if the user
releases the mouse cursor out of the object area before releasing it.
• Confirm checkbox: When this option is checked, user will have to answer a confirmation question before
executing the command. This option is useful for decreasing the accidental triggering of critical events
during runtime.
• E-Sign checkbox: When this option is checked, the user will be prompted to enter the Electronic
Signature before executing the command.
