Alarm Column Graphics Modules
The following are the names of graphics modules provided by VTScada to display information in Alarm Lists. The file, AlarmListFormats.XML controls which module is used by each column of each alarm display list.
"Double" in a module name signifies that it is designed for use when operators click the Row Height button to switch columns from a single item to doubled items.

You can override any of these modules with your own versions. The overall structure should be similar to the following example. The content is up to you.
AlarmCellArea(Parms)
[
Title = "AL_AreaColumnLabel";
SortKey = "Area";
]
Main [
GUIText(…, Parms\TextColor, Parms\Font, Parms\Area);
WinTooltipCtrl(…);
]
The Parms parameter is a VTScada-supplied structure containing the elements shown in the following table. Information about each alarm that is displayed in the cell, and the defaults for how it is to display are both passed to the module using this structure.
