<div class="markdown_content"><p>Hello!</p> <p>Is there a known bug in V3 concerning colorvariables?</p> <p>I tried a DWORD ("16#FF0000" (red)) in "Fill Color" but it only changes to white after running the visu.<br/> If I leave the field blank it gets its "Normal state" color like it should.</p> <p>I really would like to use this features.... toggling between normal and alarm state is not an option for me.</p> <p>Can anyone help?</p> <p>Thanks!</p> <p>I am using the latest V3.5 SP7 Patch3</p></div>

<div class="markdown_content"><p>This is not the same because you add a variable to the normal state and then you change the color by changing the content of this variable in your code.</p> <p>For example:</p> <p>IF ThisState THEN<br/> ColorVariable := 16#FF FF 00; (RGB if I remeber correct R=255 G=255 B=0)<br/> ELSIF AlarmState THEN<br/> ColorVariable := 16#00 FF 00;<br/> ELSIF OtherState THEN<br/> ColorVariable := 16#00 00 FF;<br/> ELSE<br/> ColorVariable := 16#00 00 00;<br/> END_IF;</p></div>

<div class="markdown_content"><p>Hello,</p> <p>thanks for your answer but I already knew this two states (Normal and Alarm states). Do you know if there is any possibility to add an additional state?</p></div>

<div class="markdown_content"><p>Hi,</p> <p>I did this in version 2. You need to use your own variable (DINT i think it is).</p> <p>And under ColorVariable (Expert Mode) you can add the variable you need for normal state and alarmstate. And you change the colorcode to the variable by code instead.</p> <p><img alt="IMG: ColorProperties.PNG" rel="nofollow" src="https://forum.codesys.com//download/file.php?id=1446"/></p></div>

<div class="markdown_content"><p>Hello,</p> <p>I'm doing a visualization and I want to know, if it is possible to have three state colors for an object? For example, if I have a button and I want to change the color three times. I have just seen that there are just two state "Normal State and Alarm state". Is there another way to add an additional state?</p> <p>Attached an example of my three states.<br/> thanks</p> <p><img alt="IMG: Display.PNG" rel="nofollow" src="https://forum.codesys.com//download/file.php?id=1445"/></p></div>
