MessageListByBit Questions

[jideson]

Hello all,

Fairly new user here, I've been playing with this wonderful software now for a couple of months and am finding a great many uses for it. I've been using the MessageListByBit to display both fault messages and status messages.  I have placed 2 MessageListByBit's on one page, using the same driver. I find that my status list, MessageListByBit2 displays the messages as the bit changes state, however all the messages on my fault list, MessageListByBit1, fail to display.  Will two MessageListByBit's work on one page?

Also, I have found that when I change the background colour and font colour, they do not display in the chosen colours when I debug or publish.  Am I missing something?

The MessageLists are not capable of changing backcolor of individual lines. The Backcolor of messages only works on MessageDisplayByBit and MessageDisplayByValue.

There is no reason 2 MessageLists on the same page should not work. Are you using 2 different addresses in the PLCAddresValue?

Thanks Archie,

I tried the MessageListByBit twice on a different page and it worked without an issue. I must have done something wrong in my first attempt.

I get the message.but color I selected for font I couldn't get.is it possible to get latest message with blinking or hi lighted color? Can we add acknowledge or silent button and clearlist (or clear message) button  to the list

is there any way to retain messages even if computer  power is  recycled?

Why not go with MessageDisplayByvalue, it is better than the bit one , IMHO.
