    Hey,
    Just wondering if there has been an easier way devloped to display counter/variables.
    As for the past few jobs we have just been using the following code and it is getting very annoying as more and more people are wanting counters used. Is it possible to create a text box on the screen for CTouch and dump some code in the text box instead of trying to line up page co-ordinates.

    Code:
    if ShowingPage ("Counter") then
    begin
    ClearScreen;
    TextPos (230,200);
    DrawText ('Counter = ', CounterDwayne : 3) ;
    end;
    Thanks

    System IO Variables

    Yep - store the timer in a System IO Variable, then display the System IO Variable using a level component in your project.

    Cheers,
    Mark.

    Thanks Mark For your help works great.
    Just to help out any one else chasing same issue sample code below.

    Code:
    once (GetCBusState("Local Network", "Inputs", "Trigger1") = ON) then
    begin
    //(Increasing the Counter by Ten everytime "Trigger1" becomes on)
      CounterMain := CounterMain + 10;
    //(Display as System I/O)
      SetIntSystemIO("Display Coutner", CounterMain );
    end;
