Hi Susan, thank you for the clarification.

I believe the misunderstanding exists because of the mode a var value is commonly displayed:

%((MyVar) > 0)%!d!

It could be "separated" in

%((MyVar) > 0) and %!d!

So it's important to highlight also that

!operator! formatting must be preceeded by a % like

%!s! or %!02d! or %!3.1f!

I think this is not properly explained in SDK

Regards,

Tom

I have a Macro to set a color dependant on the RADIO HEIGHT of a Selected Aircraft

<MacroValue>%((C:ITrafficInfo:S:RADIO HEIGHT, feet) 100 <)%{if}0x801010%{else}0x101080%{end}</MacroValue>

</Macro>

---------

PROBLEM

---------

<GaugeString>(@LowAltitudeBackgroundColor)</GaugeString>

displays either of the correct values, according to the "Radio Height"

but

<BackgroundColor>@LowAltitudeBackgroundColor</BackgroundColor>

placed just before the GaugeString line doe NOT result in the correct colour background.

It is "Rust Brown", no matter what the RADIO HEIGHT is setting the Macro result to.

"Driving me crazy" -- can you tell me what I am doing wrong please :)

I need to set up a <Visible> statement that evaluates (A:GPS APPROACH APPROACH ID, string) against a set of pre-defined strings such as 'VOR 21' 'LOC 31' etc. Please could you help me with the syntax required for the string 'VOR 21'

Thanks

Peter
