Features

It also provides the following particular features:
Selection based signal writing
The WFComboBoxButton1 control can be set up with predefined write items which will be presented at run-time as combo-box list options. Each option will write a value to a signal when selected. This signal to be written is common for all the write items.
Remote position controlling
The WFComboBoxButton1 control's position (the selected item from the write items list) can be controlled by a different signal, set in the StateSignalName property. The value of this signal corresponds to the selected item in the write items list, starting with 0 for the first item. Combining this feature with the visual states and the signal to be written can result in creative and diverse run-time behaviors which can satisfy various use cases.
