Facility Control

Hi
Using the code sample here, is there a clean simple way to break the created buttons into 6 columns by 2 rows. I've tried adding the "columns:6" to the style but it just seems to ignore that formatting. I'm also want to keep the result value to a single variable ... Here is the code I'm trying:

<abs contexttype="opengear" id="_top" keepalive="false">
   <meta>
      <params>
         <param access="1" constrainttype="INT_CHOICE" name="ButtonPick" oid="ButtonPick" precision="0" type="INT32" value="1">
            <constraint key="1">1</constraint>
            <constraint key="2">2</constraint>
            <constraint key="3">3</constraint>
            <constraint key="4">4</constraint>
            <constraint key="5">5</constraint>
            <constraint key="6">6</constraint>
            <constraint key="7">7</constraint>
            <constraint key="8">8</constraint>
            <constraint key="9">9</constraint>
            <constraint key="10">10</constraint>
            <constraint key="11">11</constraint>
            <constraint key="12">12</constraint>
         </param>
      </params>
   </meta>

   <param expand="true" height="50" left="1317" oid="ButtonPick" style="style:toggleButton;columns:6;" top="83" widget="radio-toggle" width="435"/>
</abs>

TIA

You need to put your parameter into a container of some kind - containers can change the layout of the components inside. We have grids, tables, tabs, border layouts, wrapping 'flow' layouts,  and more.  For your specific requirement, a "simplegrid" with 6 columns makes the most sense:

<abs contexttype="opengear" id="_top" keepalive="false">
   <meta>
      <params>
         <param access="1" constrainttype="INT_CHOICE" name="ButtonPick" oid="ButtonPick" precision="0" type="INT32" value="1">
            <constraint key="1">1</constraint>
            <constraint key="2">2</constraint>
            <constraint key="3">3</constraint>
            <constraint key="4">4</constraint>
            <constraint key="5">5</constraint>
            <constraint key="6">6</constraint>
            <constraint key="7">7</constraint>
            <constraint key="8">8</constraint>
            <constraint key="9">9</constraint>
            <constraint key="10">10</constraint>
            <constraint key="11">11</constraint>
            <constraint key="12">12</constraint>
         </param>
      </params>
   </meta>
   <simplegrid cols="6" height="100" left="1317" top="83" width="435">
      <param expand="true" oid="ButtonPick" style="style:toggleButton;" widget="radio-toggle"/>
   </simplegrid>
</abs>

James,
Works perfectly for my needs and thanks for the lesson as well (it has me re-thinking a lot of other instances).

<abs contexttype="opengear" id="_top" keepalive="false">   <meta>      <params>         <param access="1" constrainttype="INT_CHOICE" name="ButtonPick" oid="ButtonPick" precision="0" type="INT32" value="1">            <constraint key="1">1</constraint>            <constraint key="2">2</constraint>            <constraint key="3">3</constraint>            <constraint key="4">4</constraint>            <constraint key="5">5</constraint>            <constraint key="6">6</constraint>            <constraint key="7">7</constraint>            <constraint key="8">8</constraint>            <constraint key="9">9</constraint>            <constraint key="10">10</constraint>            <constraint key="11">11</constraint>            <constraint key="12">12</constraint>         </param>      </params>   </meta>   <simplegrid cols="6" height="100" left="1317" top="83" width="435">      <param expand="true" oid="ButtonPick" style="style:toggleButton;" widget="radio-toggle"/>   </simplegrid></abs>
