brianwainw Posted February 22, 2017 Report Share Posted February 22, 2017 Hi Is there anyway I can stack 2 text boxes on top of each other and have them appear independently as at present the text box even though hidden doesn't let the other text box show through. The text boxes will never be required to appear at the same time and have two different activations. I know I can write PLC code to accomplish this but from my opinion hide is hide and should be transparent to anything beneath it. If it can't be done like this great just want to know for future reference. I'm using a Samba 43. TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guy Sela Posted February 22, 2017 Report Share Posted February 22, 2017 Hi Brianwainw, Two text boxes will not work in this case. You can accomplish this by using "List of Text" element. List of Text ex.vlp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianwainw Posted February 22, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2017 Thanks Guy Means I will need to allocate a number to an integer register on each condition i.e. 0 - Blank 1- Low Pressure - 2 High Pressure Other PLC's I use allow this. Anyway I know now Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MVP 2021 Flex727 Posted February 22, 2017 MVP 2021 Report Share Posted February 22, 2017 If there are just two conditions (plus hidden, or nothing), just use "Binary Text / Switch" instead of list of texts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianwainw Posted February 22, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2017 Cheers Flex Theres 3 conditions as shown in repost to Guy 0 - Nothing showing 1 - Low Pressure (Switch say I 1) 2 - High Pressure Switch (Switch say I 2) I know it can be done in other ways, but didn't know if there was some reason a hidden text box would cover something beneath it when hidden. As I said before now I know I will use different methods of display. EDIT: Sorry I see what you mean use HIDE as well as the state. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MVP 2021 Flex727 Posted February 22, 2017 MVP 2021 Report Share Posted February 22, 2017 Yes, you can use "Binary Text / Switch" for this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
