  • 1.  Custom Panel Tally On/Off

    Posted 08-03-2018 23:30
    I am creating a very simplified panel that has five cameras, a laptop, and a black toggle (and/or) push button. I want to see if there is a way that is similar to the Panel widgets where a button is pressed and it lights up red, and when another button is pressed the initial button returns to its original color and the next selected button turns red. I am unable to drag and drop the widget itself since the widget is synced with what ME is used currently. I either need to create a sort of "tally" that lights up red above the initial button, or have the button itself toggle on/off once a button is pressed.

    It sounds like you're looking for what we call "radio toggle" buttons.
    With these, the 'pressed' button lights-up and all other buttons that share the same parameter go dark (unpressed).

       <meta>
          <params>
             <param access="1" constrainttype="INT_CHOICE" name="Radio Toggles" oid="Radio_Toggles" precision="0" type="INT32" value="0" widget="radio-toggle">
                <constraint key="0">Choice 1</constraint>
                <constraint key="1">Choice 2</constraint>
                <constraint key="2">Choice 3</constraint>
                <constraint key="3">Choice 4</constraint>
             </param>
          </params>
       </meta>
       <param expand="true" height="82" left="18" oid="Radio_Toggles" style="style:toggleButton" top="19" width="464"/>
    </abs>
