Using Operator Interfaces
Common Tasks In Creating Operator Interfaces
Note The Call input terminal requires a Text Scalar, so VEE converts the
Enum Scalar to a Text Scalar.
Remember the dotted line indicates a control pin. When
Auto Execute
is turned on,
Radio Buttons executes whenever you make a change to
it and sends the selection to
Call. The control pin on Call Function
replaces the function name as soon as the pin receives data. The Call
object does not call the specified function until its sequence input pin is
fired.
Note When a program uses Auto Execute and the sequence pins, the operator
does not have to click the Run button to begin the program.
Add an operator interface showing only the prompt, the menu, and the
pop-up panels showing the selections.
11.Select the
Radio Buttons object by pressing Ctrl and clicking on the
target object. Then select
Edit ⇒ Add To Panel.
12.Open the object menu, select
Properties, and adjust the colors and
fonts if desired.
13.Run the program by making a selection. (Do not use the Run button,
because it will use the selection that is already made on the menu.)
The program should look like Figure 10-22 when executing.
