Hello all,I need a little help for a simply gauge, want a keystroke for this.Its a Warning Light Test Switch who returns automaticly after mouse klick released.I know about the <Key On> entrys for Keystrokes in XML, but what code i must fill in to following gauge ?

<Gauge Name="Warning_Test" Version="1.0">   <Element>	  <Select>		 <Value>(L:Test_W,bool)</Value>		 <Case Value="0">			<Image Name="Switch_3_Off.bmp" ImageSizes="37,62,0,0"/>		 </Case>		 <Case Value="1">			<Image Name="Switch_3_On.bmp" ImageSizes="37,62,0,0"/>		 </Case>	  </Select>   </Element>   <Mouse>	  <Area Bottom="31">		 <Cursor Type="UpArrow"/>		 <Click Kind="LeftSingle+LeftRelease">(L:Test_W, bool) ! (>L:Test_W, bool)</Click>	  </Area>	  <Area Top="32">		 <Cursor Type="Hand"/>		 <Click>0 (>L:Test_W,bool)</Click>	  </Area>   </Mouse></Gauge>

so <Keys> <On Key="74"> (what code here?) </On> </Keys></Gauge>thanks !Tom

Simply repeat the same command as you use for the mouse click! ;)

  <Keys>	<On Key="74">			(L:Test_W, bool) ! (>L:Test_W, bool)	</On>  </Keys>

Hi Bill,thanks,

  <Keys>	<On Key="74">			(L:Test_W, bool) ! (>L:Test_W, bool)	</On>  </Keys>

Hi Tom,this code toggles for example a window with the key X ( 88).If you put in your toggle variable in the script field, the X key will toggle it.<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-16"?><SimBase.Document Type="AceXML" version="1,0"> <Descr>AceXML Document</Descr> <Filename>test.xml</Filename> <SimGauge.Gauge ArtDirectory="."> <FloatPosition>0.000,0.000</FloatPosition> <Size>25,25</Size> <KeyMap id="KeyMap"> <Trigger id="Trigger"> <KeyboardKey>88</KeyboardKey> <script>1010 (> K:PANEL_ID_TOGGLE) </Script> </Trigger> </KeyMap> </SimGauge.Gauge></SimBase.Document>This code has been generated by the ACE tool.

Hello Dietmar,Thanks,I

HI Tom,the code works as well to toggle a ( L:variable,enum) ! ( >L:variable,enum) if you put this into the script. Do you use the ACE tool ? Are you FSX SP2 ?With ACE you just select the Key Map, and than the Tigger. It is just a minute to generate this XML with ACE.Dietmar

Hi Dietmar,Oh, i

ACE Tools- XML with a few mouseclicks-sounds great !, but the Tool is only for FSX :( , right ?Tom,

ACES tool produces XML that will ONLY work with FSX.FS9 XML syntax schema will work with both FS9 and FSX, which is why that's pretty much all I'll use.

Hi Tom,Bill is right. However, may be my FSX example can give you some help for your FS9 code .Dietmar

Hi Bill and Dietmar !,thanks a lot for your assistancei got it ! ( big,big thanks :( to "edi" who wrote this code)it works with a counter, something new for me as a "newbie" in XML :(

Try this:

  <Keys>	<On Key="70">			(L:Test_W, bool) 0 ==			if{ 1 (>L:Test_W, bool) }			els{ 0 (>L:Test_W, bool) }	</On>  </Keys>
