Faceplate Button Genie

Genie Name: button_fp_<n>_<n>
Genie Library: sa_faceplate
System Project: SA_Library

The Faceplate Button Genie allows you to add a button to a faceplate.

Note: If you need a button that binds directly to an item, use the Faceplate Command Button Genie.

The button features two indicators.

Targeted indicator - indicates that a command has been issued, but has not completed.
Normal mode indicator - indicates that the associated piece of equipment is in its normal operational state. For example, if the button represents Auto/Manual, then Auto maybe the normal operational state and is therefore indicated as such.

Two variations of the Genie are included in the SA_Library project:

Select the Genie and double-click on it to view its parameters. The parameters are used as described in the table below:

Parameter	Description

Tooltip	Additional text that appears when the mouse hovers over the button.
Click Command	An expression that is called when the button is clicked on.
