How do I show the value of a Global Variable, or stop it from showing?

12:57 er2: I have another problem: I use global alert and write the alert msg in section 1 to 7, but there the alert msgs always get a trailing number 0.00 or 255.00 appended to the right of it, for EUR it adds 255.0000 or 0.0000, very annoying, any solution for this?

13:25 @Ensign_H: er2, go to the property form for the alerts that do the section. On the property from there is a Read Variable box in the message frame. You have a setting of 1 in Read Variable so it shows the content of GV[1] with the message text. To stop this showing of a value with the text, change the Read Variable to zero 0

3:30 @Ensign_H: The Section text can also show the value of a Global Variable. Set the Read Variable spinner to the GV whose value is to be displayed. This feature is disabled when the Read Variable is set to zero. The value from panel A can be shown by setting Read Variable to -1. The value from panel B can be shown by setting Read Variable to -2.

13:30 @Ensign_H: Section text that is too long can be split into two lines. Use a comma character in the text message to mark the split point. For example, the message 'First Line,Second Line' will be displayed on two lines in the Section panel.

3:30 @Ensign_H: The Section text comes from the Message text on the Alert property form. Both a message to show when True and a message to show when False can be entered in the Message text, separated by a vertical line character. See the example above, where 'MA Buy' is the True text and 'MA Sell' is the False text. The text font color will use the Text color parameter in the Message frame. The Panel color is not used.
