Displaying a Text in HMI by digital signal

[RexPeter]

I'm wondering if there is an easy way to "hide" or "diplay" a piece of text in the HMI Designer based on status of a digital signal (binary signal) like a push button or a LED that indicates the status of the digital signal in the "task block".
So if a status is "ON" in the task block, I would like to display a "text" in the HMI and if it is "OFF", it should be hidden.
I can use the "hide_by" function of the "DisplayString" component, but that requires to define the text to be displayed within the "task block".

Alternatively if you take just a "Text" from the left hand side menu (i typed "My text"), and create a "group", you can add some "group functions" to it, but that does not include the "hide" functionality. I might be able to use the "Opacity" function and use a value of 0 and 100 to either display it or hide it, but I thought there might be an easier way that I simply did not figure out yet.

Looking forward for feedback on this.

Regards,
Peter

Hi Peter,

for "hide" or "display" any item drawn in REXYGEN HMI Designer we use Group Animation -> Opacity as you proposed. The signal mapping can be afterwards changed in the opacity component so it can be connected to any binary signal within REXYGEN project - see screenshot.

Hi Tomáš,
Excellent, did not thought about doing it in that way, but that is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks a lot!
