FS9 Panel Ident

[Carob 2]

Hello.

I'm hoping someone can answer this for me.

I'm trying to add an icon to open and close a new gauge.  I thought I knew how to do this but apparently I only know half of it.

I have decided to try and use the "500_X" icon from the cpt.icons.cab file.  I have added the icon and gauge to the panel.  The gauge opens fine when selecting it from the menu, but when I click the icon it opens a different item.  I'm pretty sure this has something to do with the "ident" line but I can't get it right.

Can anyone help me figure this out?

From the cpt.icons gauge:

<Click>500 (&gt;K:PANEL_ID_TOGGLE)</Click>

The ident value from the panel window description in panel.cfg has to match the value you are sending to the PANEL_ID_TOGGLE function.

In this case, your panel window has to have an ident value of 500, or you need to change the code, as quoted above, to match the ident value in panel.cfg.

Note that you cannot use the text macro values you sometimes see in panel.cfg as ident values in xml code.  This will not work:

<Click>THROTTLE_PANEL (&gt;K:PANEL_ID_TOGGLE)</Click>
