Problem / Question Re: BackPack (TV Overlay) Window type names.

BackPack is fed by a BS2-OEM that handles data to the Display and controls a Video Source Switcher.

Have a nice simple overlay display set up with:
1) Camera Name at top
2) Next line is a Conditional Display Line used only if status requires additional information
3) Bottom line is Time/Date stamp

Works fine, however I want to change the Time/Date Format to MDYHMS12 but cannot figure out where / how to apply the Window type names to my Window 60.

Documentation shows "Window type" choices of:
REGWIN CON 0 'Regular window.
HMS24 CON 1 'Time window: 23:59:59
HMS12 CON 2 'Time window: 12:59:59 pm
YMD CON 3 'Date window: 2099-12-31
MDY CON 4 'Date window: 12/31/2099
DMY CON 5 'Date window: 31-12-2099
YMDHMS24 CON 6 'Date/time window: 2099-12-31 23:59:59
MDYHMS12 CON 7 'Date/time window: 12/31/2099 12:59:59 pm
DMYHMS12 CON 8 'Date/time window: 31-12-2099 12:59:59 pm

Looked through .pdf and the .spin source but its not obvious to me how Window Type is applied.
.... may just be that I don't speak "Prop"

Any insight would be appreciated

Thanks
Russ

    Russ,

    Check page 10 of the overlay doc under DEFWIN. For window numbers 60-63, if you specify a column count of zero, you can specify one of the special window types in the row count.
