Panel_ID isn't a number?

[guenseli]

Hello again,

With the CaptainSim C130 I have the problem, that the GPS isn't panel 3.

So, following your advice I wanted to assign it via Panel_ID, whta worked with other addons perfect.

But CS has following code:

[Window16]

size_mm=456,378

window_size=0.5

position=7

BACKGROUND_COLOR=0,0,0

VISIBLE=0

zorder=32

ident=GPS_PANEL

gauge00=fs9gps!gps_500,0,0

You can see, that ident isnt a number, but called "GPS_PANEL"

How can I assign it in this case?

Thank you!

Alternatively, when the panels aren't selectable using the Shift 1-9 (PANEL_1 to 9) controls, there's usually an icon some place on screen to toggle them. If you enable "Event" logging in FSUIPC's options, then click the icon which operates the panel, you'll see the data logged. For the standard GPS_PANEL control it looks like this:

292078 *** EVENT: Cntrl= 66506 (0x000103ca), Param= 225 (0x000000e1) PANEL_ID_TOGGLE

The parameter gives the ID, 225 in the case of GPS_PANEL, confirming the value for it in the list.
