- Runtime – StatusDatapoint
If a data point with the data type UINT is connected to this property, the control or a whole layer can be made dynamic during runtime via the control program.
Additional information from a control can be evaluated in the control program.
| Bit | Description | Control |
|---|---|---|
| 0 | Hide Control (visibility of the control / layer) When this bit is set, the control is not displayed. | All Common and local layers |
| 1 | Lock Control (input lock) When this bit is set, input is locked for this control. The control element continues to be displayed on the page, however. | String, Numeric, Password, Edit, Listbox, Dropdown, Hotspot, Button, Alarm, Trend Common or local layers |
| 2 | Focus Control (Focus on input - Set control) When this bit is set, focus is placed on the control. Subsequent input is entered in this control. Only one control at a time can have this bit set, since otherwise the behavior would be undefined. The bit must be reset by the control program (see also bit 14). | String, Numeric, Password, Edit, Listbox, Dropdown, Hotspot, Alarm, Trend |
| 3 | Open Touchpad When this bit is set, the touchpad connected to the Input control is opened. Only one control at a time can have this bit set, since otherwise the behavior would be undefined. The bit must be reset by the control program (see also bit 12). | String, Numeric, Password, Edit |
| 4-9 | Not used | |
| 10 | Cursor1 Valid This bit is automatically set if the intersection between cursor 1 and the trend curve provides valid data. If the cursor is at an area where no trend data is shown, this bit is 0. | Trend |
| 11 | Cursor2 Valid This bit is automatically set if the intersection between cursor 2 and the trend curve provides valid data. If the cursor is at an area where no trend data is shown, this bit is 0. | Trend |
| 12 | TouchPad Is Open This bit is automatically set to 1 when the touchpad is opened for this control. If the touchpad is closed (input completed or cancelled) this bit is reset to 0. | String, Numeric, Password, Edit |
| 13 | Touch On Lock (attempted input on locked control) This bit is set automatically when an input field that is locked (either by the Locking property or using bit 1 of the StatusDataPoint) is selected on the touch screen. This makes it possible for the user to find out the reason for the lock by evaluating the bit in the control program. This bit must be reset by the control program. | String, Numeric, Password, Edit, Listbox, Dropdown, Hotspot, Button, Alarm, Trend |
| 14 | Control Has Focus This bit is set automatically when the focus is placed on the control. If the focus is moved to another control, this bit is automatically reset to 0. | String, Numeric, Password, Edit, Listbox, Dropdown, Hotspot, Button, Alarm, Trend |
| 15 | Control In Edit (active input) This bit is set automatically when there is active input in the control. If input is completed or cancelled, the bit is automatically reset to 0. | String, Numeric, Password, Edit |
If multiple elements need to be managed simultaneously (visibility / input lock) they can be grouped in a layer. They can then be controlled by a status data point on this layer.
