choose function for graphics

[maxofmillions]

i am configuring an alarm control panel that will pop up when certain conditions are met and i want to display an actual photograph of what might be wrong with some troubleshooting tips. Now i seem to be able to do this with a logical expression and use my wmf file as a custom graphic. i would just have to stack them on top of each other and they become visible when that coil or whatever is made for the alarm....which is okay unless there is more that one at the same time....what i was wondering if there is any way to do this with a choose function of somekind like i display batch steps with text when stepping through a batch cycle.....

Hello,

Have you taken a look at the Multistate object? With it you can display upto 6 grsphics based on logical conditions. And "if several conditional expressions are TRUE at once, the Multistate object displays the graphic associated with the first TRUE expression."

This may fit the bill.

thanks Khalid....i didn't think about that....what i am diplaying mostly will be limit switches on aggregate clamshell bin gates or a prox switch somewhere or maybe showing a coil on a motor starter or solenoid valve.....i guess i could group them together and have several multistate objects....you know as much as i love using lookout....some of the things you have to use to do something are.......well you know......thanks...randy
