We have x2 simple custom panels with 10x2 rows of push buttons which fire XPT rossTalk commands to switch Ultrix-Fr5 sources to a single destination. These panels are used on Ultritouch panels and when each button is selected the background only changes to a slightly muted colour.

The end users would like a more instantly visible way of knowing which button is selected. Ideally achieved with a border for the active crosspoint button. Please can you advise on the best solution to achieve this?

I'm persevering to get the the push button to change style when selected. I've had a look through previous community questions and came across a similar thread from 2016. Am I on the right track wit the following code?

<abs contexttype="opengear">
   <meta>
      <style id="DefaultStyle" value="size:Bigger;fg#FFFA01;bg#063A71;o#000000;"/>
      <style id="SelectedStyle" value="size:Bigger;fg#FFFA01;bg#FF0000;o#000000;"/>
      <api>function selectButton(buttonID)
      {
         //Set button to selected style
         ogscript.setStyle(buttonID, 'style:SelectedStyle');
      }
      </api>
   </meta>
   <button buttontype="push" height="115" id="1000" left="63" name="Click Me" style="style:DefaultStyle;" top="105" width="195">
      <task tasktype="ogscript">
         rosstalk.sendMessage('1.1.1.1', 7788, 'TAKE 1001:0:0');
         selectButton('1000')
      </task>
   </button>
</abs>

Hi Gareth

The most common way to have a button with state (selected vs unselected) would be to us a Param instead of a Button.  You can do a single toggle button or an array of toggle buttons if you have multiple choices.

<abs contexttype="opengear" keepalive="true">   <meta>      <params>         <param access="1" constrainttype="INT_CHOICE" name="Single Toggle" oid="Single_Toggle" precision="0" type="INT32" value="0" widget="toggle">            <constraint key="0">Off</constraint>            <constraint key="1">On</constraint>         </param>         <param access="1" constrainttype="INT_CHOICE" name="Radio Toggle" oid="Radio_Toggle" precision="0" type="INT32" value="0" widget="radio-toggle">            <constraint key="0">One</constraint>            <constraint key="1">Two</constraint>            <constraint key="2">Three</constraint>         </param>      </params>   </meta>   <param expand="true" height="97" left="74" oid="Single_Toggle" style="style:toggleButton;" top="52" width="138">      <task tasktype="ogscript">if (this.getValue() == 0) {   ogscript.debug("DO 'OFF' ACTION");} else {   ogscript.debug("DO 'ON' ACTION");}</task>   </param>   <param expand="true" height="84" left="79" oid="Radio_Toggle" style="style:toggleButton;" top="179" width="341">      <task tasktype="ogscript">switch (this.getValue()) {   case 0:      ogscript.debug("DO ACTION ONE");      break;   case 1:      ogscript.debug("DO ACTION TWO");      break;   case 2:      ogscript.debug("DO ACTION THREE");      break;}</task>   </param></abs>
