5.9.1The use of Controls

The below table gives you an overview of the way in which the different Controls are used:

Attribute		Description
Static element		The "Static elements" are used to place info graphics and
		texts, e.g. a floor plan or site map, and to add symbols repre-
		senting specific Functions and titles.
		Apart from the Static elements that can be added to the child
		node "Controls" under the node "Frame", every "Button" child
		node under the node "Controls" may have up to 4 own Static
		elements that are stored under the parent node "Button", and
		there in their respective "Static elements" child node.
Edit field		Use the "Edit field" to enter the numeric or alphanumeric val-
		ues that are needed for the later operation , e.g. display texts
		that shall be output to the alerted subscribers during broad-
		casts.
Button		The Control "Button" is used to execute Functions triggered by
		the user, e.g. to activate broadcasts in OScAR-Pro.
		In addition to its attributes, every Buttons also has a child node
		that is used to administrate the Functions that shall be execut-
		ed when the Button is pressed.
Checkbox		The "Checkbox" is used for 'Yes/No/True/False' and 'Set/
		Changed' arguments, e.g to define that the selected broad-
		casts are started individually or together in form of a hunt
		group.
Listbox		The "Listbox" is used to select an entry from a list of several
		entries, e.g. to choose a specific announcement from the glob-
		al List of all announcements that are currently available.
		Entries in a Listbox can have different colors.
