Sim. Switch Base component
A base for building switches that do not download to chip. Mouse interaction can send 'System.User' events with the following data... ID = The handle of the switch component sending the message Message = 1 (on) or 0 (off) Current state can also be read via simulation macros.
This component can be used as a base to create child components
The following components all inherit the traits of Sim. Switch Base:
 Basic Sim. Slide Switch
|
Simple slide switch with no pin assignment.
State can only be determined by simulation macro read. Momentary or latching action can be chosen in the properties. |
 Basic Sim. Switch
|
Simple push button switch with LED indicator with no pin assignment.
State can only be determined by simulation macro read. Momentary or latching action can be chosen in the properties. |

Simulation macro reference
GetState
Read the current state of the switch. Returns BOOL true when the switch is on, or
BOOL false when off.
Parameters
- This macro has no parameters
Return value
- BOOL : Returns true if the operation is a success, else false
SetState
Sets the current state of the switch. BOOL true when the switch is on, or
BOOL false when off.
Parameters
- BOOL SwitchState
- Sets the state of the switch
Return value
- This call does not return a value
Property reference
Operation
This property is of type Fixed list of ints and can be referenced with the variable name operation.
Latching = Mouse click to turn on, click again to turn off.
Momentary = Mouse click to turn on, release to turn off.
Send Event
This property is of type Fixed list of ints and can be referenced with the variable name send_event.
Determine when the component will send a User event to its parent.
On Change - Whenever the switch state changes.
On Click - Only when the mouse clicks the object.
On Release - Only when the mouse is released over the object.
Never - No events.
Startup State
This property is of type Fixed list of ints and can be referenced with the variable name start_state.
State that the switch will take when simulation is started.
Moving part
This property is of type Panel object and can be referenced with the variable name target.
Handle of a panel object that will be the moving part of the switch.
Pivot object
This property is of type Panel object and can be referenced with the variable name pivot.
Object around which the moving part will rotate when rotation is selected as the movement tyoe.
Type
This property is of type Fixed list of ints and can be referenced with the variable name movetype.
Set whether the moving part will move linearly or by rotation.
Axis
This property is of type Fixed list of ints and can be referenced with the variable name axis.
Axis along which the moving part will move (for push/slide) or around which it will rotate (rotary).
Movement
This property is of type Floating point and can be referenced with the variable name move.
Distance or angle by which the mioving part will move.
