Radio Button selection to an Integer Value

Ignition

I'm having a difficult time getting the integer value of my radio button selection to a UDT.

I have a standard setup with 3 radio buttons. I created a custom property and set it as an integer. Then I binded that custom property to an expression as such-

If({Door Faceplate.Group.Radio Button 1.selected}, 1,
If({Door Faceplate.Group.Radio Button 2.selected}, 2,
If({Door Faceplate.Group.Radio Button 3.selected}, 3,
0)))

I see the custom property value update. However, how do I link/bind this to another tag(ie UDT)?

You need to bind the custom prop to the UDT tag, (bidirectional).

Then add an "On Change" event to your radio button .select property that does what you show above, but writing that value to the custom property.

Assuming you want the tag to also set the Radio Button initially...

Thanks for the response! That solved that portion of my problem.

Now I also do want the tag to set the Radio Button. I notice if I reboot the Vision app, I can see the value saved from memory (it will eventually be set to a PLC), however, the Radio Buttons are all cleared.

Nevermind, I was able to figure out my second question, regarding the tag setting my Radio Button. For each button itself, I set an expression bind to the Data/Selected property, to evaluate if the custom property equals a certain value.

Thanks again!
