Group screen text icon Kevin Keast Wed, 22 Dec 1999 23:27:57 -0500

Has anyone had problems defining a text item in a group screen, setting up
the icon to be the text associated with that item and then had the text
change on the item but not on the screen?

Example:

I have a general ALERT message and a general OK message.  I want to use the
T1<-T1 operator to copy the ALERT or OK message to a number of items when
certain conditions are met. I want to be able to view this from a group
screen and see the text change on the icon.  It does not change itself, it
will only change if I click on the icon.

Sample event: OIL tank level is a high/low sensor; Oil tank, Alert Message,
and OK Message are text items

If oil tank level is now low
Then oil tank T1<-T1 Alert Message
If oil tank level is now high
Then oil tank T1<-T1 OK Message

Then I want to use the "Text" icons in the group screen to show changing
messages.  I can't get it to work for me without clicking on the icon.

Thanks in advance for any help,

Kevin
