Facility Control

I am running a fullscreen Ultritouch custom grid file, with the menu hidden to prevent users from unintentionally unloading the panel, or changing settings. I am wondering if there is an available command to allow me to add a 'screen clean mode' button to my custom grid file to permit users to clean the Ultritouch without pressing any buttons. 

Although I could likely come up with a way to do this, is the in-built screening function accessible from a custom panel?

Thanks!

Don't know if there is or not, what I did was create a button that put you into "cleaning mode" it set a parameter to 0 popped a new canvas with one small button on it. Each time the button is hit it would check the parameter and if it was less than 5 it would add 1 to the parameter, once it was 5 it would hide that canvas and show the normal one.

Try the <lock/> tag:

<abs contexttype="opengear" id="_top" keepalive="false" style="">
   <lock height="136" left="74" name="Clean Screen" top="47" width="237"/>
</abs>

Very clever Mark. I was thinking of doing something similar myself. I use a similar approach for a hidden password protected setup page.
James, I've just tried the <lock/> tag, and it works perfectly.

Thank you both.
