Facility Control

Hi,
I'm building out a custom Dashbaord and I'm trying to make the UI elements rather large and easy to use with a touchscreen. I've noticed that when I try to set the font size and style of a listbox it does not affect the text within it. Is this a bug maybe? The background color works but it seems the foreground doesn't either. If I edit the same parameters for a button it works but for some reason with the Listbox widget specifically it seems to ignore some of those style options.

Thanks

For a combo box/drop-down list, you are correct that this is currently a limitation of DashBoard's UI widgets. Font size changes are applied to list widgets (non-drop-down), buttons, etc. We can put combo boxes in the future.

In the meantime, have you tried putting DashBoard into "Large Font" mode to see if this is sufficient? Window -> Preferences -> Genera -> Use large fonts where possible?

For touch-friendly UIs that we create, we typically will use "Toggle Buttons" as the widget type.

If you still want to hide/show the choices, there is a bit of a workaround available using the tag:

<abs contexttype="opengear">
   <meta>
      <params>
         <param access="1" constrainttype="INT_CHOICE" name="a" oid="a" precision="0" type="INT32" value="0" widget="combo">
            <constraint key="0">A</constraint>
            <constraint key="1">B</constraint>
            <constraint key="2">C</constraint>
            <constraint key="3">D</constraint>
            <constraint key="4">E</constraint>
            <constraint key="5">F</constraint>
            <constraint key="6">G</constraint>
         </param>
      </params>
   </meta>
   <table height="78" left="55" top="29" width="336">
      <tr>
         <param colspan="1" expand="true" fill="both" oid="a" onmousedown="ogscript.reveal('selector');" rowspan="1" style="bdr:line;bg#listbg;fg#listfg;size:Bigger;" weightx="1.0" weighty="1.0" widget="label"/>
         <popup colspan="1" fill="both" id="selector" name="Select..." rowspan="1" weighty="1.0">
            <simplegrid cols="1" height="500" width="200">
               <param expand="true" height="112" left="652" oid="a" onmouseup="ogscript.hide('selector');" style="style:toggleButton" top="178" widget="22" width="353"/>
            </simplegrid>
         </popup>
      </tr>
   </table>
</abs>

Noted. Thanks James for the different options! I haven't messed with the larger font setting but that seems like that will be a good temp fix for now.
