Hi Guys,
I have a Multi State Button for controlling a Traffic Sign. Ideally I’d like the buttons to have a background image showing the Sign Face it correlates to. I have the state images for each button in the Image Management Section and thought I could simply set both the Selected and Unselected Styles to point the Background Image property to the path of these images but I can’t seem to get it working.
Any ideas?
Did you see this in the user manual?

Brian is using a multistate button, which acts a bit differently. Try wrapping it in a url function.
url(http://{gateway}/system/images/{path/to/image})
Example:
url(http://192.168.1.1:8088/system/images/Builtin/checks/complete16.png)
Yes, this works fine when I’m using the regular buttons, just doesn’t appear to work with the MultiState Button.
Thanks, will give this a go. Thought it might be a simple little trick I was missing.
Thanks Jordan,
It works with your suggestion. However this could pose an issue if I hardcode the Gateway IP address in so will need to find a work around for that.
You can use the session.props.gateway.address prop: Session Properties - Ignition User Manual 8.1 - Ignition Documentation
where is this implemented on the multi state button exactly?
