Legend Button

The Legend Button is used to display a Legend to an operator. A Legend provides a visual guide to what the different icons, states, etc represent in Runtime. This is useful if there are many different visual items or states which are not commonly seen.

To use a Legend Button in your Display Layout, complete the following steps:

  1. In Project Explorer, double-click the Display Layout to edit. Alternatively, right-click to Add a new one.
  2. Drag and drop the Legend Button from the Toolbox and into the work area.
  3. In the Properties grid, click the ellipsis (...) button next to Image.
  4. To configure a second image to be flashed, click the ellipsis for the button next to Flash Image. This can assist in visually representing icons which flash colors when in certain states.

When the operator clicks the button in Runtime, it will display the configured Legend images in a pop-up window.
