:_alert_hdl.._act_state_color

[AMRPatricio]

Hi All,
I wonder if someone can help me out with the following issue:

I have my alert class defined as the picture in attachment. When I then do a dpconnect to “…:_alert_hdl.._act_state_color”, I obtained the following results:
[ol][/ol]["display color:"]["red"] when the alert is active , which is what I expected.
[ol][/ol]["display color:"][""], when alert is not active(no alert status). I would expect to receive “black” instead.

Where am I wrong on my thoughts?
Thanks in advance,

"_alert_hdl.._act_state_color" returns the background color of the current highest pending alert .
If there is no alert (= no pending alert), then this attribute is am empty string.

Hi Mousser,

Thank you for your comment.

I understand what you are saying, which was my first thought. But I then a tried to do similar exercise with "_act_state_text" and the results are:

["display text:"][1
WCCOAui2:LANG:10005 "IED comms Fail"

["display text:"][1
WCCOAui2:LANG:10005 "IED comms Healthy"

Seems like it works even if no alert is active.

Looking on the "help" section(Prt Scr), I would not expect different behaviors btw "_act_state_text" and .._act_state_color"?



Thanks,

Can you please describe what you want to do with the alert information.
Maybe using a dpConnect for the _alert_hdl attributes is the wrong approach in that case.

Hi Leopold,
I want basically represent the alarm status with background color in accordance. See please attached.

Of course I can obtain similar result using the original value and then couple "setValue"....but I would have thought using the alert attributes as all the information I need is there and updated.

Thanks,
