Message text
This mask element can be used to display texts that are stored
beforehand in a text table inside the program. A text can have
a maximum length of 16 characters. Additional blanks are
added to the displayed text if it is shorter than the element. A
message text is used for indicating status changes in the
process. In order to visually indicate changes of this kind, you
can link message texts with a variable (associated variable).
When the variable concerned assumes a specified value, the
EZD outputs the appropriate message text. The default text is
output if the variable assumes a value that is not assigned to
a text.
Programming in EZSoft:
X
Hold down the left mouse button and drag the Message text
screen element into the screen.
X
Position the mouse above the screen element and move it
to the required position with the left mouse button
depressed.
The height of the screen element frame depends on the font
size selected. Two sizes are available:
• Normal font size and
• Double font size.
You can change the font size by activating the context menu
(right mouse button) or by dragging the selection handle at the
bottom edge of the element frame concerned. When
increasing the font size, ensure that there is sufficient space
available underneath the element.
The width of the screen element frame can be scaled as
required by dragging the selection handle on the sides.
J
Ensure that the screen elements are sufficiently large for
containing the corresponding texts of all languages
selected. This can be checked easily in the screen
overview.
