A Panel Switch Tool object must be associated with an enumeration point. The point’s enumeration table defines the set of value options and sets the position of the indicator. Use the point identifier properties to form a fully qualified CygNet tag string. The point identifier properties are [1:SiteService], [2:Point ID], [3:Long Point ID], [4:Facility ID], and [5:UDC]. If the object is on a templated screen, only use the [5:UDC] property.

The point’s enumeration table defines the position options for the switch. The position labels, values, and label order can be based on the table entries or entry descriptions. These are specified by the [PositionLabel], [PositionValue], and [PositionOrder] properties.

Optionally, the switch can be configured to prompt the user to confirm the command before it is sent.

The pointer can be moved by dragging it or clicking an option.

The [AlarmElement] property can be set to show the point state color in the object’s Background Color or not at all (None). The [UseCustomStateColors] property enables the object to use its own custom point state colors. If set to 1 - Yes, the colors used are those defined by the object’s [CustomStateColors] property. If set to 0 - No, the colors are those defined by the TheView’s [CustomStateColors] property.
