Welcome to The Automation Blog’s “Flashback Friday!”
Today I’m highlighting an RSView32 project I wrote demonstrating how to use a Combo Box as a Message Display.
In 2001 many former PanelView customers were beginning to use RSView32. And they would call frustrated they could not find a built-in Multistate Indicator like the one found in PanelBuilder32.
In response, I created this simple project to show how to use a Combo Box as a Simple Message Display.
To read the original story and download the project, see the reposted article HERE on The Automation Blog:
