Execute / Cancel Button Widget

This button appears in the Widgets palette as both an Execute Button and a Cancel Button. They are the same.

Used by:  I/O and Calculations (all data types). For other output tag types, use the Legacy Set Value Button, which incorporates an Execute / Cancel option.

* Does not use the Style Settings tag.

The Execute / Cancel Button widget is used in combination with either a Set Value Button Widget or a Numeric Entry Widget when that widget's confirmation option is configured to Set Before Execute. This button must be linked to the same I/O tag as the Set Value button or Numeric Entry widget, and that tag must be configured to write.

The exception is if the Set Value uses a separate Feedback tag, in which case this button must be linked to that feedback tag. Refer to the configuration example in the topic, Set Value Button Widget.

A configuration example is provided in the topic, Set Value Button Widget.
