Hi,Can someone explain how I can make an XML toggle-gauge (like the simicons) which will open a window-A and closes at the same time window-B.I would like to be able to swap between captain and 1stOfficer panel.If the 1stOfficer panel is opened, the captains panel should close and vise versa.

What that is doing is toggling ON the [WindowXX] section with ident=50 and toggling OFF the [WindowXX] section with ident=0Simply substitute whatever ident= number is used with your "co-pilot's window."

Uhhhhrrrrr...I must be doing something wrong because it doesn't work for me...Captains ident = 10000 (is already visible on startup)Co_Pilot ident = 10010 10010 (>K:PANEL_ID_TOGGLE) 10000 (>K:PANEL_ID_TOGGLE) When I press the icon, the Co-Pilot panel is opened, but the Captain panel remains open.

Try using either ident=MAIN_PANEL or ident=0 as those are the expected default entries for that particular [WindowXX] entry.

Hi Bill,>> Try using ident=MAIN_PANEL <

Instead of PANEL_ID_TOGGLE it is sometimes suitable to use PANEL_ID_OPEN and PANEL_ID_CLOSE. It gives a better control if e.g. both windows are open. You need of course different gauges for main and copilot panel.Arne Bartels

Try this; it opens Panel 0 while closing Panel 80, or vice versa!Panel icon(L:status,bool) if{ 0 (>K:PANEL_ID_OPEN) 80 (>K:PANEL_ID_CLOSE) } els{ 80 (>K:PANEL_ID_OPEN) 0 (>K:PANEL_ID_CLOSE) } (L:status,bool) ! (>L:status,bool) Regards,Harry
