Hello,

I want to do a button combination to access a hidden page view on a PV780. I am pretty confident I can write the state machines to do so.

Is there anything I need to be aware of when doing this? e.g. combinations that are already used to access hidden menus?

Thanks,
Phil

Easiet way to do it is without state machines. Map a button to go to a different view then on the corresponding page, map another button to go to another view and have the other buttons go to the first view. Repeat until you reach the desired amount of button pushes.

Thanks, that does sound easier. However, won't the button pushes then take you to a blank page? I think that would look unprofessional for the customer. The only way around it would be to have duplicate page views for every page so the view does not change during the combo process... or am I missing something?

Thanks,
Phil

You are correct. You would need to replicate the view for every correct button push. An alternative would be to use a upper level layer (ie overlay or popup layer) to handle the button inputs then you wouldn't need to create a bunch of views on the main page but you would still need to create views on the upper layer.
