Shorthand variable text commands

CommandDescription

Note

Shorthand commands were created by AMX designers to streamline receiving, processing, and transmitting Central Controller data. The short-hand commands operate Control Equipment just like the standard Send_Commands still used in a wide variety of AMX products, but they are simply smaller byte-for-byte, and thus processed more efficiently.

"'@BMF',<variable text address>,'<attribute data>'"

Set multiple attributes to a button, slider, or gauge. This command allows you to program up to 12 attributes on one command line.

<variable text address> = 1 - 255

<optional data> = See below

Optional data:

'%B',<border styles> = See Figure 204

'%F',<font styles> = See Figure 203

'%T',<button text > = ASCII characters (empty is clear)

'%P',<bitmap> = Bitmap filename (empty is clear)

'%I',<icon> = 1 - 255 (icon numbers are assigned in TPDesign3 project file)

'%J',<text alignment> = 1 - 9 as shown the following alignment chart
