XML Help needed

[flightsimmer]

Hello,
I have an Aircraft in fs9 where some Gauges can only be operated by mouse clicks, keystrokes won´t work mostly.I´ve tried anything with FSUIPC include logging or offsets,-no way.
The Gauges are programmed in XML, so my idea theres surly a way to get them work, with standard FS key commands or normal Key strokes like Shift+F" or whatever in addition to the mouse clicks.

Can anyone help with it ?, im not a Programmer.
Which lines must be added or changed to get them work with keystrokes.
Far as i know there is a FS Key command in this XML "K:MIXTURE1_LEAN", but won´t work

<Gauge Name="Boostpump_L" Version="1.0">
<Element>
<Select>
<Value>(L:FUELBOOST_L,bool)</Value>
<Case Value="0">
<Image Name="Switch_3_Off.bmp" ImageSizes="37,62,0,0"/>
</Case>
<Case Value="1">
<Image Name="Switch_3_On.bmp" ImageSizes="37,62,0,0"/>
</Case>
</Select>
</Element>
<Element>
<Select>
<Value>(L:FUELBOOST_L,bool) 0 == (A:TURB ENG1 N1, percent) 94 &gt; &amp;&amp; if{ (&gt;K:MIXTURE1_LEAN) }</Value>
</Select>
</Element>
<Mouse>
<Cursor Type="Hand"/>
<Click>(L:FUELBOOST_L, bool) ! (&gt;L:FUELBOOST_L, bool)</Click>
</Mouse>
</Gauge>


Thanks,
Thomas

Problem solved !, by a simply "dummy"Gauge.

Yes - I know that you solved it, but please you can here speak how to solve it, because someother have the same Problem.

Thanks.

Yep,here it is (Many Thanks to some XML Expert ,who helped me!)

The Windows Key Codes are listed in Pete´s FSUIPC for Advanced Users doc.
Also very useful, the XML Tutorials from herehttp://www.fs2x.com/Tutorials.htm

<Gauge Name="FuelBoost-Sabb105.xml" Version="1.0">

<Keys>
<!-- 75 is K -->
<On Key="75"> <!-- thats K -->
(L:FUELBOOST_L,bool) ! (&gt;L:FUELBOOST_L,bool)
</On>
</Keys>

</Gauge>

works fine, dont forget to add an entry in the Panel cfg.for this new gauge !

You could have simply added it the existing gauge:

<Gauge Name="Boostpump_L" Version="1.0">
  <Element>
    <Select>
      <Value>(L:FUELBOOST_L,bool)</Value>
      <Case Value="0">
        <Image Name="Switch_3_Off.bmp" ImageSizes="37,62,0,0"/>
      </Case>
      <Case Value="1">
        <Image Name="Switch_3_On.bmp" ImageSizes="37,62,0,0"/>
      </Case>
    </Select>
  </Element>
  <Element>
    <Select>
      <Value>(L:FUELBOOST_L,bool) 0 == (A:TURB ENG1 N1, percent) 94 &gt; &amp;&amp; if{ (&gt;K:MIXTURE1_LEAN) }</Value>
    </Select>
  </Element>
  <Mouse>
    <Cursor Type="Hand"/>
    <Click>(L:FUELBOOST_L, bool) ! (&gt;L:FUELBOOST_L, bool)</Click>
  </Mouse>
  <Keys>
    <!-- 75 is K -->
    <On Key="75">
      <!-- thats K -->
      (L:FUELBOOST_L,bool) ! (&gt;L:FUELBOOST_L,bool)
    </On>
  </Keys>
</Gauge>

Thank you Bill, for your fast Replay.

Hello Bill,

first of all, thanks for reply !

This was also my first Version i´ve tried, but it doesn´t work, no idea why.
Someone told my it needs there maybe an extra Element section for the <Key On> entry.

The extra XML "Dummy"Gauge wit same <Key On> entrys works perfect.
Well, its OK so, but something strange.
