Button Commands
These Button Commands are used in NetLinx Studio and are case insensitive. All commands that begin with “^” have the capability
of assigning a variable text address range and button state range. A device must f irst be def ined in the NetLinx programming
language with values for the Device: Port: System (in all programming examples - Panel is used in place of these values).
Variable text ranges allow you to target 1 or more variable text channels in a single command.
Button State ranges allow you to target 1 or more states of a variable text button with a single command.
 “.” Character is used for the 'through' notation, also the “&” character is used for the 'And' notation.
Button Query Commands
Button Query commands reply back with a custom event. There will be one custom event for each button/state combination. Each
query is assigned a unique custom event type.
The following example is for debug purposes only:
NetLinx Example: CUSTOM_EVENT[device, Address, Custom event type]
DEFINE_EVENT
CUSTOM_EVENT[TP,529,1001] // Text
CUSTOM_EVENT[TP,529,1002] // Bitmap
CUSTOM_EVENT[TP,529,1003] // Icon
CUSTOM_EVENT[TP,529,1004] // Text Justification
CUSTOM_EVENT[TP,529,1005] // Bitmap Justification
CUSTOM_EVENT[TP,529,1006] // Icon Justification
CUSTOM_EVENT[TP,529,1007] // Font
CUSTOM_EVENT[TP,529,1008] // Text Effect Name

SEND_STRING 0,"'VALUE2 =',ITOA(CUSTOM.VALUE2)"
SEND_STRING 0,"'VALUE3 =',ITOA(CUSTOM.VALUE3)"
SEND_STRING 0,"'TEXT =',CUSTOM.TEXT"
SEND_STRING 0,"'TEXT LENGTH =',ITOA(LENGTH_STRING(CUSTOM.TEXT))"
}
All custom events have the following 7 fields:
These fields are populated differently for each query command. The text length (String Encode) field is not used in any command.
