Changing HMI image based on integer Interface input

[russell_warren]

I am trying to figure out how I can alternate between a set of images based on an integer value used as an Interface input pin.

For instance I would like a value of 1 select image 1.  value of 2 select image 2, etc.

The interface pin graphical object that are pre-defined do not seem to have any image options.

Likewise the standard rectangle that I can attach an image to, has no way to link a tag from the Interface.

In Vijeo Designer this would be quite easy using visibility parameters.

How do I accomplish something like this in Automation Expert?

Hi 

Just use Image primitive

Use the Ranges property to define the enum with selected images

Thank you.  I am embarrassed, as I had my integer on the output by accident, which does not have the same selections as an input does.

Wow, nice tips @GKollegger 

I would have code it the "hard" way with n rectangles and play with the visibility in the C# part in execute function of the value.

But EAE gets you a lot of useful primitives, I should use them more often.

Thx for sharing.
