4.7.2.3.2 Button
The Button widget will send a value each time it is pressed. The button can either be configured as a normal push button or as a toggle button. The button can have a static text to indicate its functionality.
When it is configured as a toggle button the text will be replaced by ON or OFF depending on the state of the button. To replace the ON/OFF text by something else the Text parameter must be given as '/' delimited text with the first part of the text being the ON state text and the second part the OFF state text. For example, "CLICKED/UNCLICKED."
Data Fields
The Button widget has a source data field. Each time the button is pressed a packet is
sent. The value of the packet will always be:
- 0 for a normal push button
- Either 0 for a toggle button in its OFF state or 1 for a toggle button in its ON state. So if a button in the OFF state is pressed, the value will change to the ON state and vice versa.
